Episode notes
Chamundi Hill Dissolution Of Self
- Sadhguru describes a sudden dissolution of self while sitting on Chamundi Hill where he could not tell which was him and which was not him.
- The episode lasted subjectively 10–15 minutes but when he returned to normal consciousness four-and-a-half hours had passed and a crowd had gathered around him.
Time And Space Lost Meaning During Experiences
- He recounts further occurrences where time and space lost normal meaning, with past, present and future mixing into a 'majestic chaos.'
- On one occasion he sat thinking minutes had passed but 13 days had gone by, and people placed garlands on him and asked mundane questions.
All Human Experience Is Self Created
- Sadhguru concludes that all human experience is self-created from within rather than solely molded by external situations.
- He notes scientific trends are beginning to align with this view and frames experience as 100% internally generated.
