Well good luck locking down a beautiful moment of time ? And even if you did it would lose its beauty and collapse. The only reason you enjoy that piece of dessert is because you don’t eat it everyday.

@Breakingthewall 🙏🏻

yes . I literally was blown away by the beauty I was witnessing with my eyes to the point tears started falling off for TWO reasons which are mentioned in OP: 1-the beauty is unbelievable. 2- I thought to myself that I want to stay in this state forever. I want to freeze this moment forever yet I was observing time passing through my consciousness and me feeling like the enjoyment is disappearing . so I wrote that if we attach ourselves to beautiful forms we suffer by nessecity. Because no matter how beautiful it is .. it has to go and end . Hence attachment is stupidity .

I see but it can also become the biggest problem for people to actually get there . This phone you are holding now..it’s a double edged sword ..can save your life or ruin your life . There is some sweetness to struggling. My happiest moments were when I achieved high grades in high school after studying and studying for multiple sleepless nights in a row and then when you see the good grades you feel amazing . It’s something that just happens in the brain . It’s called the reward circuit. Because our ancestors had to run and sweat to survive either by hunting animals or running away from animals and this would release dopamine in the brain because it is an activity that supports the survival ..and that’s why when we exercise or lift weights we feel good . you get tired of that tough with age and you feel like you want to rest . a limbo phase . I appreciate you man.

It is for ignorant people.. unless you wise up and conclude that it isn’t in the transient forms where you find serenity .

You said that operation was just three years ago . Also it’s a recurring theme in your posts ..you tend to shit on people who oversimplify enlightenment and sing about how you had it tough for your whole life while those neo advaita types have soft asses lol.

@Breakingthewall I think seeking heroic experiences might be a trap for you . You have a yearning or a craving for suffering your way through reaching enlightenment.

Why would anyone dead serious about awakening hang out on a forum ?

I haven’t watched the video you linked . Let me check out . I know he was persecuted like Jesus. Leela comes from Hindu tradition and he was Persian Sufi?

I’m aware of him . Can’t really say the highest baseline since consciousness isn’t really quantifiable like this .there has been so many great mystics who demonstrated even supernatural powers and these were historically documented. Also were willing to die and not give up their convictions. What do you think is so special about him ?

Pepperoni or sizer cheese ? KFC and I will think about it. But I won’t sell my soul for anything less than million bucks cash .

Life would be boring without problems . Don’t you think ?

@Carl-Richard Make your point and leave . Don’t dramatize the situation. Focus on the ideas , not the person. a moderator is expected to post more maturely than members.

@Carl-Richard it’s not the first time . For a while now you are talking from your nose to everyone .

@Carl-Richard dude ..control yourself. You are a moderator.

Yes. Obviously you realize that all forms are transient and impermanent? Yet you are still attached to x .

Nice one . Maybe in a parallel universe.

If the question is who cares about looks or physical attractiveness in the other party then the answer is obviously men. by asking who’s more picky from both parties you are asking who cares more about looks or the reverse ?

Why is that a popular belief then ?

Obviously men. Men prioritize physical appearance. Women prioritize character.

But we understand intellectually at least that everything is impermanent as I mentioned unlike another animals and species we are aware of our own mortality . That’s why I answered the question why it’s difficult to let go of attachment towards things by shedding light upon the transience and impermanence of all forms.

Wow dude chill

It’s illogical to use taste ..touch ..sight and smell to try to grasp what’s beyond them . By definition it can’t work right ? do you know that physics is the most important science from the hard sciences ? Because it studies the world itself and how it works. It assumes the world is made out of matter and energy and that’s all and then we as humans interact with the world through the senses which give us a translated copy of the “ real world “ beyond the lens of perception. there is a field called Metaphysics. it questions those assumptions which physics assumes about the nature of existence itself . Read books on metaphysics .Leo has a playlist on his channel called “ Metaphysics -the nature of reality “ .It has all the answers you are seeking regarding this inquiry.

Not to pressure you but how is this known to be “obviously not true “? let’s explore this thoroughly.

It’s all the things you guys mentioned.. not only one of them . its seeing through the illusion of separate ego self which is the thinker of thoughts or doer of deeds . And therefore a lot of guilt and self judgement dissipates because you know that there is really no solid entity as you existing separately from conditions which is to be shamed for fucking up. Automatically this means you forgive others as well ..you still can get ANgRy lol but you see their behavior from a higher zoomed out perspective. seeing through “problems “ . Understanding how the world is going through it’s laws and it’s dreamy nature makes you feel peaceful and unshakable by strong negative conditions when they occur because you see through “negative “ itself by seeing through your ego. it’s also the answer to who you are really and what existence is . Of course you can’t really put the Answer in words but there is a radical shift that happens . It’s necessarily a knowing .
