Insights & Opinions On The Path

[Paintballer]

One must ultimately realize that all of our insights on the path, and the interpretations we have of our "samadhi" experiences, be they persistent or temporary are ultimately just as "untrue" as any of the ego's delusions. Reality, and the truth just are, and can not be reduced to any idea/ideas. Whether the person churning out the ideas is enlightened or not.

 

Point. The more serious you are on the path, and yourself. The further you are from the pathless one.

 

thoughts?

If all of our insights are untrue, then what is truth?

[Paintballer]

Another illusory idea you are chasing.

[Echoes]

Yes, any thought is of course not true. Be it a spiritual "insight" in language/mental images or the idea of donald trump as the president. All language is just letters sorted in another combination, not able to referring to any other thing than itself

Insights,interpretations, states, experiences, ideas come and go, they appear and disapper back into consciousness(God, highest self, nothing...).

Life is a game. Taking appearences as something real is what creates seriousness and that prevents you from playing the game by being playful. If your serious about taking appearances for real you can never be really playful. Point of life is to live it, that's why your alive, to play the game of life. 

You can  trick yourself into being serious about being playful, but that is ultimately seriousness at it's play and it can backfire.

 Funny enough this seriousness can use seriousness to kill itself and transform itself into playfullness which is a paradox and in conflict with the previous statement. You can be serious about your intent of maintaining the focus on the breathing and in turn the monkey mind Will disapper after a while, this Will allow you to be better syncronized with that which already is (consciousness) because you will be more present, not yet fully but definitely more present. This Will allow you to gain the ability to recognize consciousness. The more frequently you recognize consciousness, the more consciousness you start to embody.

You can come to a point where you see every experience, experience of any kind as a tool that is here to help me by Me, to be more aware of Me which means to be more of Me.
