What about the time you are not aware of now? So it still pertains to cause and effect. Now is simply being mindful. What exactly you do from that point on is up to you to decide. So you can realize the self, then you can merge with it and open a channel in your body, because of the connections what you do above, it also happens below.. Its quite hard to maintain now. Its just an explosion and what you maintain is glow or radiation and you can learn to sense it and inspect where it is coming. In my opinion is that you entering the now and then succumb to desire cloud.

You may stop time in your body and get liberated but this way you can't get into heavens what are real worlds, from where probably Ufo's are coming. And if you just abide in the now then you wasting time. On earth level you need to connect your mind with the body. Then you can enter desire world. And then you will notice that your desires are insatiable, therefore need to start purify your mind and body using wisdom. You will bring these heaven energies into earth and see your sinning and correcting yourself will hurt you and that's suffering. Can't bypass serving and devotion and slowly build your way up to the one who is ruling and deciding who gets enlightened or elevated. Either way you need to get to know what means to be a weaker link and also accept your position.

Now is not a place here but a transcendent wisdom about a state where everything stands still. In standstill there is no sense consciousnesses nor their objects. Now is used for meditation and cultivation. In other words its practice of jhana and wisdom, where first to enter jhana you need to go through desire realms and go beyond desire(craving, lust etc) in order to reach first jhana, then we can start speaking about defeating suffering. Nirmanarati heaven in desire realm, only a mere smile will satisfy all sexual desires. Highest desire realm heaven, joy is attainable by will.

okay girls, you are fired. Let us real men do the dirty work of removing bad karma from earth.

Aging is suffering. Its like very slow falling off from a cliff. Not needed to feel suffering to know there is suffering. Its also by using logic that there is suffering. Idle suffering or potential. knowing that we going to die, then logical option is letting go of living for getting permanent results. Logical is that we don't feel regrets to give away whatever we have. Death can come any moment. Having dreams and desires, is not logical therefore.

I suffer almost all the time. Its caused that i'm alone that is because i don't do nothing, its because whatever i do becomes to an end, everything dies. I don't suffer if i am in some kind of illusion but that's not real me. Thinking about it makes me happy, because if i touch the bottom of sadness i become unable to feel sadness. But i forget it and start suffer again till i get to the bottom again. Its repeating, that happiness is false happiness therefore i suffer again.

i like cosmology of most of the religions.

e m p y n s e s t It depends what meaning you have attached to the word emptiness. If something arises in your mediation then how you recognize emptiness?

if you say you love your enemies. It isn't unconditional. Closer to unconditional is thinking that tomorrow you might be no enemies anymore. Today you are enemies but actually not enemies. But its not you who decides who is your enemy, its already decided by your desire. Also main desire is your first choice and you don't see it because you act on it before you get to know you did it. If you love your enemy and still can't get along then its hypocrisy. Rather you don't love your enemy but think you are beyond them obviously then you can enjoy their failure to defeat you. Its against nature not to feel bad after getting defeated. If you don't feel bad then you haven't lost in the eyes of nature, of course laws of the game could say otherwise. I think unconditional love is only possible to realize if you admit defeat while in the eyes of nature you are winning. But first need to overcome your own ignorance of thinking you are the one who is in charge.

What perfect means is best of the best of the best of the best of the best or best best best best.. by logic there isn't existing perfect world. Everything is suffering.

if body would be perfect then i wonder how much it would weight. By logic, is it possible to see a perfect body?

Pain is not everything nor imagination. Pain is like a dream, a wrong seeing or bad eyesight.

Tooth ache and the imagination of not aching are two different dimensions. I can simplify that everything has a counter image of what i would want it to be.

Game who has better answer eventually will lead to a single answer, and who has it is the winner.

Everything is suffering. What is not suffering is my imagination how things should be.

due to language barrier i can't understand your two last sentences.

I need to know what is the cause of suffering. Its the ignorance what is the cause of suffering. But what is ignorance? Does that mean someone has thought up an illusion what i don't know how to solve and therefore i draw wrong conclusions.

For now i disagree that fear is root of all suffering. i think what could help me is that knowing there is absolutely no possibility to help better my situation, but so far greed has entered to me before i can enjoy that moment of nothingness where greed and desire to move on is gone.

What if your object of love starts to suffer. Basically you will also need to love people who causes suffering for the ones you love and you watching it lovingly and love also yourself while doing it. desire realm, form realm, formless realm all suffering..

Suffering is a choice but you need to realize why you are suffering in order to choose not to suffer. Source of suffering doesn't disappear if i just choose to avoid it or escape it. I choose to solve the puzzle. If suffering disappears because it disappeared without me understanding it, i am disappointed now, i used to be satisfied, but not anymore. If its some outside help like good weather causing happiness in me, i am disappointed in myself,... because i don't understand why i became happy

Op, why not to post a quote from that sutra? Mahaparinirvana sutra: The Buddha said: "O good man! "Self" means "Tathagatagarbha" [buddha-Womb, Buddha-Embryo, Buddha-Nature]. Every being has Buddha-Nature. This is the Self. Such Self has, from the very beginning, been under cover of innumerable defilements. and excerpt from a gatha there: .. If a person is able truly to discern That his/ her intrinsic being possesses the Buddha-dhatu [buddha-Nature], Then you should know that such a person Will enter into the Secret Matrix [ = the Tathagatagarbha]. That person who knows the Self [atman] and what belongs to the Self [atmiya] Has already transcended the mundane world. ..

..read that sutra.

water is what holds things together, so we gravitate towards it naturally because its comfy. So also your logic what feels to be right is because of water element.

Water is sticky, it slows things down, it smooths things out, it softens, it's female. It's enemy of logic. if you try to use logic then you miss at least 50% of reality from start.

okay, what if things start to happen too fast then we start making decisions what are not very reasonable. So to take speed into account then from logic comes intelligence.
