  1. Enjoying the Shogun TV show.
  2. The Buddha had several enlightenments before his awakening under the Bodhi tree. This suggests that paradoxically, one can become more deeply conscious of the absolute, and also that transcending life and death requires more than a few enlightenment experiences. Maybe.
  3. Hmm. I think it's useful to first see it in yourself. Then, you can see how you actually love everyone, and so do others. Although this isn't evident or obvious. It's more existential. A bit like: without another, I can't exist. So my existence is fundamentally shaped by "other." Something to investigate.
  4. Just started watching True Vs False Skepticism.
  5. Notice how language subtly influences the way you hold infinity to be "something"--an object, a perception, a state or experience, something "huge" out there to be attained. Seriously, whatever you have regarding this "absolute" matter is not it. At best, it is a grounded notion or possibility; at worst, a complete fantasy based on wishful thinking. Whatever it is remains to be personally realized by you and you alone--and will remain so until you are completely, entirely, and profoundly conscious of everything there is. So be humble and do not fool yourself. And when you do, admit it instantly and keep inquiring.
  6. What is worth and what is life? We've got work to do!
  7. [Fill in with correct answer]. What does hearing an assertion change in your consciousness? At best it opens up new doors; you may even get a hint of its reality experientially. In any case, it's best to get serious with grasping one's nature, and that of life, for yourself independent of confabulation.
  8. @Razard86 Do you think it's a matter of hearing and understanding an answer? If it were that easy...
  9. "So I robbed that bank as you told me... now what?"
  10. @Creatorbeing Are you high? Your posts aren't very clear. You should know that posting in such state isn't allowed.
  11. Fear is so accessible and constant a condition for us that it often goes unnoticed, receding into the background of our experience - subtly and grossly tainting the way we live.
  12. By attempting to modify, add to, withdraw from, or hide - acts rooted in misrepresentation - we are conceding that our experience of ourselves and of life is not enough as it is. As a result of this way of relating to others, a continuous struggle emerges as our underlying condition.
  13. @Razard86 You're still holding being as an action, not as is. Here, there, when, entering, floating. Whatever you're talking about is relative and a subjective state. You might have had insight or breakthrough but it always sounds like your mind and intellect are filtering it through their set of beliefs.
  14. Hey, our shit smells too.
