Someone here replied to Lunatic's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Your OP and title aren't related ..and no deal with it because Buddha didn't say anything about God . Buddha denied all of Hindu gods and goddesses. He rejected all of Hindu religion and went to seek enlightenment on his own.and specifically seeking liberation from suffering ..not the truth or some answers to existential questions. He actually teaches to his students that the question of God is totally irrelevant and not important and that they should seek the end of suffering instead and that talking about God is philosophical luxury. He didn't prove that the Hindu gods don't exist but he said they are not eternal. They are within samsara (the cycle of rebirth) just like humans . This is a quote from some blog online: "It is said that soon after his enlightenment the Buddha passed a man on the road who was struck by the Buddha’s extraordinary radiance and peaceful presence. The man stopped and asked, ~~~ My friend, what are you? Are you a celestial being or a god? No said the Buddha Well, then, are you some kind of magician or wizard? again the Buddha answered No Are you a man? No Well, my friend, then what are you? the Buddha replied I am awake ". -

Things just have properties and qualities. Like I'm talking physics wise. There are essential qualities like mass or electrical charge and there are derivative qualities like weight or sharpness or texture which are relative . Like I like women with modest makeup but you like glamorous flashy makeup because of genetics and hormones and chemicals in the brain and stuff like that. If you're asking but why is this way in the sense why is sugar sweet? Or why is sweetness sweet ? No idea mate . -

@James123 she's saying it's double standards . You have to apply the nondoership thing to others as well . Its not just your body that has no self inside of it.. but everyone are equally empty shelves. -
OK I understand. I'm not a nihilist myself. And I'm not talking about existential nihilism.. the subset that deals with the question of meaning and purpose. You are mixing things .

@VeganAwake I think the inquiry might start from that death anxiety but there is an answer .so it's not just wishful thinking .yes the body will die in no time..but you are settling for this? -

@Joseph Maynor the statement makes no sense . Do you not see ?
-
To assume you have no ego and are unconditioned...is ..a red flag ?
-
Why ?
-
Which is why I live alone and only visit my family here and there . I mean they are totally lost in the circus of life and I'm drifting in Nirvana with Buddha or Smth lol..the communication between me and them has devolved to very low levels.its just we are not clicking anymore ..it doesn't work the bottom line is they are a bunch of idiots Idc about their human bullshit. It's like 2026 so common lol. ..isolation is required for classy minds and deep souls . 😋

@Majed Simple..because people are different. That's literally it. How is Elon Musk's kids going to care about the same things as a homeless kid in a africa exactly?

No offence but gross misunderstanding of the word nihilism. It has nothing to do with negativity or depression or anything like that. I know you're like "What?!"..common misunderstanding. The most mainstream notion of nihilism in Western philosophy and literature is just circling around the idea that life is meaningless...not that life is evil or bad. No negativity ..just Meaninglessness.

Honestly not in the cards. Just undoable. Obviously you can't just get away with posting whatever the fuck you want . Please present something more reasonable.
