@Joseph Maynor what’s that got to do with anything that’s important?

@Artaemis procrastinating from what?

@The Don so maybe the mind IS thoughts?

Your mind will ALWAYS be reckless and full of deceit. What is mind?

The only way to awaken is to be

@Artaemis what do you want to know that you don’t already know?

@The Don try to figure out what I said on your own. Far more useful

So you understand that the yellow robe is a metaphor? Your mind will ALWAYS be reckless and full of deceit. Do you know that?

This practice vs non-practice debate is getting boring To those that “get it” it is obvious and to those that don’t it is confusing

What do you mean that when you say you “can’t wear the yellow robe” ? We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.

Forget about colours for the moment. All of your problems are rooted in escapism. Stop running away from your reality. Slow down the thoughts and see what remains

@SoonHei don’t try to live a better life, just live as you are and both goals will converge

Meditation and self inquiry make a nice couple

Both of those are the ego

My humble prediction: A big strong meditator ego if you succeed and a neurotic mess of it fails

It depends on how many books on spiral dynamics the caveman has read and whether the scientist is vegan or just vegetarian

Thanks for clearing up my confusion There never was a person called the Buddha. This is a discussion about whether the story helps to remove the delusion or whether it reinforces it. Try to see the projections in what you wrote. This is the key to awakening

@Leo Gura I’ll take up the 5 Meo challenge. What is the dose for the breakthrough? Does one need a Trip sitter? Much unpredictability and thrashing about?

It’s a dumb thing to say because it is untrue. Anybody who thinks they can be happy through horrifying circumstances is detached and deluded. This is not the goal of any credible practice. And it is not wise to sell this myth or even or use as a device to uncover our triggers or attachments to absolute truth ie it’s not clever I assume Leo was young when he made this video as I doubt he would advocate this sort of mentality now, surely?

Sounds like most people on this forum haha

The moment you write a thought down it is no longer the truth True or false? Best answer wins a prize

@Nahm hehehe

Ahhh now you got it

Why would you believe that?

@Emanyalpsid you got triggered. Why? Because a joke by a mod made you so. Why do you care what these guys think? They don’t know any more than you do. So who gives a fuck what some random internet people say? That’s the lesson
