God Damn It, Leo! Answer my question!

[JohnnyRocket]

Did you have any insights into kamma and samskaras during your most recent awakening? Or were those just the words of the day! You don’t often use those words in context with your deeper insights.

What more is there to say? If you look up the textbook defintions of those terms they tell you basically what it is.

Karma is basically the sum total of everything you imagine you and reality are -- your entire memory bank, including genetics, or whatever other thing you made up to explain why you are how you are.

Memory, genetics, history, life story... it's all basically the same thing. These are anchors for the ego's reality.

Kamma is different from karma. To simplify, karma= actions (reading, sleeping, etc.), samskara= the result of action (abilities, skills), kamma= pleasure (sex).

@Leo Gura so you had no further insight into these topics. You just used them in as a convenient method to communicate your experience.?

I know what they mean. I am asking if you had any further insight

I know exactly what they mean. I am asking if you had any further insight into their reality.

please speak to me on a higher level, you son of a bitch! lol!

I think his video was more about the realization of the depth of his own ego, not the nature of the terms karma or samskara. He was just applying the basic meaning of those terms to his awakening experience.
