sadhguru - inner engineering program

my dear readers, you probably know, i admire the sadhguru for few years, dont you? NOW was the RIGHT TIME for me to attend his inner engineering program offered by his isha foundation. btw, the online program costs 150 euro regularly and as a new year's offer right now 105 €. the same program in attendance e.g. in munich, february 2025, 13th - 16th costs 330 €. they teach 2 evenings THU + FRI and 2 full days SAT + SUN. the course language is in both cases english with simultaneous german translation ...

i've just finished 5 out of 6 steps in the online program and i'm going to finish the last step today afternoon [=> DONE ✔] ... unfortunately, there are no free time slots for the 7th and last chapter of my course before my online activation expires. it is most likely some art of final transformation of energy via a live-session which takes 1.5 days ... => heaven & hell, i've just registered for the same program again for the half price (75 euros) and already appointed this energy-transformation 'Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya' live-session for the end of april, my friends. a good deal, if you asked me, because the online program is quite good and i will have access to it for the whole next year 😃

few considered issues / thoughts: 

• easy yoga excercises for neck, head, backbone, ... upa yoga, yoga namaskar, ... 
• yoga breathing hyperventilation
• isha kriya .. hmmm, i obviosly didnt get a clue what is that and in which part of the program it was taught / excersiced  
• i'm not my body and i'm even not my mind ...
• everything happens in THIS MOMENT
• what happens in this moment is unchangeable / inevitable
• of course, we can think abt the past or make plans for the future, but we only can live & act in this moment ...
• the concept of responsibility vs. handling => i'm responsible for everything thus my responsibility is limitless. my handling / actions are of course limited (i cant be everywhere at the same time ...)
• happiness = when we get what we want in THIS MOMENT
• sorrow / grief = the life is different as we wish it should be
• pain is not sorrow
• pain is good as it ensures survival of mankind (it is not our intelect or brains, you see?)
• intellect tries to carve (zerstückeln) everything (frog, mouse, men, monkey, ...) 
• intelligence brings together
• the mind / brain increases everything e.g. the picture of an elephant which appears in our retina inside our eyes, our sorrows, ...
• everything what we explore in our life (pictures, sounds, taste, emotions ...) happens inside us. why should we allow s.o. from outside to control / determine what our life experience would be?
• food ~ people are born to be vegetarians (teeth, intestinals (darm), ...) good vs. bad food in terms of usefulness for the body (it is not a religious / ethical opinion) => 
• not good: garlic, onions, chillies, coffee, tee, white sugar, flour ... 
• good: indian pumpkin / wintermelon, black pepper, honey (especially with warm water), fruits, nuts, ...
• meet not good for our bodies, fish less dangerous then e.g. mammals, because fish is in the evolutionary chain very far away from mammals (aka us), so it cannot override our genetical information
• pesticides, antibiotics and the low variety and low nutrition values of today's food is not good either (... nice red 'quadratic tomatoes' most likely almost without significant nutrition value for our bodies) ~ in 3 generation will the major problem of mankind be the fact, that our own useful bacteria inside us (it is abt 50% of us or some similarly high percentage) will not survive the level of antibiotics we consume with our food
• sleep ... we dont need 8+ hours a day if we just ate good food  ...
• karma, the principle of action and reaction 
• a strong master-student-tradition in india for spiritual issues, thus wisdom not affected by the change / evolution of language and/or moral norms
• forget ohhhhmmm, remember AAAAAUUUUUMMMMM ... all sounds equally long(!) 

question #1: what are the 3 basic sounds you can make without using your tongue?

answer #1: A (mouth completely open). U (mouth half open). M (mouth closed)

is there any other question regarding ohhhhmmm?

... btw, just try the christian 'amen' without the 'N' or try the muslim 'amin' without the 'N' ... you will get aaauuummm, wont you?

• quantum physics => ??? ask better sadhguru or my wife what was intended by this chapter, not me 😇
• creation, U, brahma, proton
• maintenance, A, vishnu, neutron
• destruction, M, shiva, electron 
• 72.000 energy lines in our body go through our bellybutton (or more precisely through a chakra which is 2 cm below it)   
• nature decides what is possible and not we (as we just think that possible is only this what we already know ... while sitting on a chair: is it possible for you to fly away? is it possible to stand up + run away? ... whats your believe?)
• do not decide what makes other people happy
• what life and what kind of world would we like to have? peaceful, happy, joyful ... IT IS POSSIBLE RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT ... we just need to start behave peaceful, happy, joyful ... => do not wait for 'the others to start', just start by yourself NOW (well, we activists know we are the ones who start to do good things ...) how to achieve that worldwide? maybe:
• your 1st thought every morning: today i will create a peacefull world ... if you are friendly to others, then (almost always) will the others be friendly to you, isnt it? ... do / dedicate your life to s.th. what is important & valuable .... do not waste your life by doing boring / unneeded stuff just to pay your bills ...  than better do nothing, be friendly and in sadhgurus ashram you will get 2 dishes a day for free  ... joyful people spread joyful mood
• if everyone is friendly to all other people, so the whole world will become a friendly / peaceful / joyful place, wont it?
• did i became a better person after 6 out of 7 chapters of sadhguru's program? aauumm, the time will show 😇 ... i'm definitely going to do the energy transformation live-session in april. most likely i will update this blog post right after that again and tell ya the results / opinions after the two long session days ...
• etc
