The redneck strike again.

If you keep on saying that AM. follow some Hindu philosophy i will send you RASETSU to punish you.

For Christ sake how many times i have to tell you that AM does not follow
Hinduism.
It is rather the other way around.
Both yoga and Hinduism originate from Shiva teaching but while yoga follow the original teaching Hinduism follow these teaching in part and mainly in theory only.
As far as practice very little is left.

Wikipedia only says this - Yoga

This article is about the umbrella term yoga which includes both religion, philosophy, and practices. For one of the six Hindu philosophy schools, see Rāja yoga. For the popular yoga that explains and emphasizes the physical practices or disciplines, see Hatha Yoga.

The origins of Yoga may date back to pre-vedic Indian traditions. The earliest accounts of yoga-practices are to be found in the Buddhist Nikayas. Parallel developments were recorded around 400 CE in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,[8] which combines pre–philosophical speculations and diverse ascetic practices of the first millennium BCE with Samkhya-philosophy.

This suggests that Yoga and Hinduism are from the same root belief but nobody really knows what the root belief was after all this time.

I've been trying to find out who Shiva is according to Yoga and discoverd an article on the Times Of India website. Is this anything like AM teaches?

Yoga Originated From Shiva

In the yogic culture, Shiva is not known as a God, but as the first Guru or the Adi Guru. He is the Adi Yogi or the first Yogi. Out of his realisation, he became ecstatic and danced all over the mountains or sat absolutely still. He was constantly into bouts of stillness and bouts of mad dancing.

This still sound like a mythological explanation to me. The way I see things, however, something can be symbolically true even if it isn't literally true. An archetype can't be pinned down to any one thing so Shiva can be both a god and not a god. As Kipling said In The Neolithic Age

"There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays,
"And every single one of them is right!"

Forget about all the fancy names like Shiva, Vishnu and everybody else.
After all it is God that dictate the show.
G = Generator (creator)
O = Operator (maintain or preserve this creation)
D = Destroyer ( when the Atman realize that he-she is God it become one with it so the idea that you are separate from him is destroyed)

That's a useful way of remembering it for English speakers but I don't think it would work in other languages.

Be careful with all these theories.
Most of them are all full of bullshit.

I didn't mean that I believe somebody's mind could be uploaded into a computer. It just struck me that Brahma and a computer simulation have something in common as concepts. The difference is that one is a spiritual explanation while the other is a materialistic explanation.

The uploading idea suggests that some people who don't believe in souls still dream of their minds leaving their bodies to go elsewhere. There are Philosophical Issues, though.

A considerable portion of transhumanists and singularitarians place great hope into the belief that they may become immortal, by creating one or many non-biological functional copies of their brains, thereby leaving their "biological shell". However, the philosopher and transhumanist Susan Schneider claims that it would create a creature[clarification needed] who has/is a computational copy[clarification needed] of the original persons mind.[46] Susan Schneider agrees that consciousness has a computational basis, but this doesn't mean we can upload and survive. "Uploading" would probably result in the death of the original persons brain, while only outside observers can maintain the illusion of the original person still being alive. For it is implausible to think that one's consciousness would leave one's brain and travel to a remote location; ordinary physical objects in the macroscopic world do not behave this way.[clarification needed] At best, a computational duplicate of the original is created.[clarification needed][47][48

A copy of me in a computer isn't my idea of a nice afterlife.

With Maths and all physical laws you can improve your intellect but as far as intuition that is a different story.

So what, exactly is Intuition?

Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason.[1] The word intuition comes from Latin verb intueri which is usually translated as to look inside or to contemplate.[2] Intuition is thus often conceived as a kind of inner perception, sometimes regarded as real lucidity or understanding. Cases of intuition are of a great diversity; however, processes by which they happen typically remain mostly unknown to the thinker, as opposed to the view of rational thinking.

Intuition provides views, understandings, judgements, or beliefs that we cannot in every case empirically verify or rationally justify. For this reason, it has been not only a subject of study in psychology, but also a topic of interest in various religions and esoteric domains, as well as a common subject of writings.[3] The right brain is popularly associated with intuitive processes such as aesthetic or generally creative abilities.[4][5][6] Some scientists have contended that intuition is associated with innovation in scientific discovery.[7]

This doesn't explain why we've got it, though.
