Actually, you have made this thread about you. I am simply answering the OP’s original question. In fact you have still made this thread about you, in that you are seeing this as an opportunity for you to help legitimate spiritual seekers(which you direct to your youtube channel to see your talks ;))
Now, can we actually stop talking about you and your new channel that nobody has barely viewed, and focus on the OP.

no one is stopping you from doing that.
Yes, useful indeed. I now know that I cannot get to the realm of enlightenment - because I don’t have a stargate!
I’m thinking I’d like to get something like an automatic garage door opener, or maybe like a motion sensor, so when I get close to my stargate it automatically opens and I can just sail through to the realm of enlightenment.
This thread has been most useful to me.
I would not have seen the youtube videos of AmirMourad and “futurehumandestiny”, if SuryaDeva has not criticized/opinionated about them.
In a software company that I was working in India, there was a project manager who actually does not have his solutions to the problems of everyday work. He used to conduct long meetings and used to “be-little” each team member about their ideas and extract more positive and negative opinions. He would then sit down and prepare a big “architecture document” with all the ideas expressed by the team members and put his name on the document…!!! The lesson that I learned is “conflict gives rise to clarity”…!!!
As regards, Sunya-Yoga (AmirMourad), I think it is a new thinking. I just watched the video on “Beyond Optimistic Thinking”. I can easily relate what he is saying to the middle-path theory (Madhye Vaada) of Nagarjuna ( a budhist monk of India, who lived in the state of AP). I can easily relate the same thing to religious symbolism of “third-eye”…!!
Thank you so much…!!
I think it would be way cool to have your own [I]personal[/I] stargate. That would be kind of like a private entrance so you can avoid the crowds or maybe go in and out unnoticed. Otherwise it would be like waiting in line to get into a New York City nightclub, but they only let in the hot chicks or people who otherwise have it going on. But what’s really cool is that when you get to the other side its the realm of the enlightened, where everybody is cool and there are no hassles.

My experience is all religions are filled with dogma, perhaps acknowledging the fact that you are i.e. ?I AM?, the only truth any of us can experience directly without involving unreliable memory or illusionary perceptions of the mind or senses, after that the obvious question is ?WHO AM I? and that may best be answered by elimination of who you are not i.e. am I this body?, am I this mind?, am I this energy running the body and mind? etc. etc. inward self inquiry may very well take you much further than any outward searching, once you?ve corrected any misidentifications you may have had begin to experiencing directly your true inner nature. There are eloquent attempts in explanations of the inexpressible that can get one started, check out some of the free online writings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
