  1. you are the cause of your own suffering

    All of those things are circumstantial sources of some sensory phenomena. With nothing more than a mindful choice, humans can burn alive enjoying Nirvana. Even as cancer poisons your body or you fall to your death from bridge collapse, it requires your own choice to interpret the sensation fearfully and in doing so suffer it to whatever extent of your choosing. In compassion for yourself who deserves your Love and kindness more than any other being, it unbreakably remains equally possible to embrace the sensory phenomena with Love and appreciation for the life experience opportunity it's offering, even if it includes your dismemberment or whatever. I can tell you from experience it's possible gratefully enjoy feeling the asphalt grind flesh away and snap various bones while crashing motorcycles. It's possible to enjoy the sensations of getting up and getting back on your bike and finishing your ride, and possible to enjoy every moment of the healing process. Humans have such a fear stigma over the singular divine entitlement (death) due to a lack of using this one moment to gather amazing fulfilling life experiences while the body is still living. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  2. This agrees with the nature of reality to the limit of my ability to 'know' it. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  3. you are the cause of your own suffering

    Somethings are instantly their own best reward.
  4. Religion means to re-link (to the Dao/Logos/Reality etc) The label choice is not the link. The expressed labeled aspects of the linking process are not the link. The categorization of various linking processes are not the link. A book or vast collection of books or memorizing and repeating the vast collection of books is not the link. It is possible for a being to spend this one moment of life seeking out and highlighting infinite fallacy infinite aspects of and shared or unshared choices in optional belief sets. It is also possible to instead appreciate the inseparable inexpressible Dao/Logos/reality etc. This is why enlightened beings while alive opposed people even writing down there words, because this leads to worship of the words and labels and people eventually kill in the name of it or get killed in the name of it. At the moment one thinks their choice in religion/book/texts/practice is something which justifys defensive/offensive actions to be taken, this is the instant it's usefulness to aid in link/linking to the Dao/Logos/reality has been replaced by some human constructed delusion of preference and attachments to hinder the being from achieving liberation.

  5. Fate- Thank you for sharing that Alan Watts video. Never heard him speak before, that man has some Wisdom.
  6. the three discoveries

    None of these 3 things were an awareness in my reality until my first psychedelic mushroom experience. After it seemed preposterous they had not been self-evident, but it's impossible to know if I ever would have made the life changing realizations without the entheogen catalyst. When a being is inside the thickly constructed fog of delusion, it's impossible to detect the presence of the fog because no alternative to fog has been experienced. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  7. The definition of space

    Fair enough brother, I agree my life has involved some planning. I am thankful for you sharing your insights. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  8. The definition of space

    Inherently it is not possible for you to be doing more than projecting your own life concerns, because you have not experienced my reality, nor can what you believe may come reach beyond personal fear-rooted self-delusion. Reality of Now, as well as the nature of what 'space' may or may not be, as well as any/all mechanisms humans attempt to apply to label it remain unaffected by your choice of reflected personal discontentment. May the tiger enjoy it's meal and be well nourished by my body! It has served me so well for so much longer than I had ever imagined I would live. My wife would be more likely to be eaten by wild animals though, she rescues injured native animals and nurses them back to health, including the predators with large claws and teeth. She is bravely at peace with dying for her volunteer service to nature, and she is at peace with understanding the nature of the life experiences I choose often involve facing the reaper. We have both forgiven each other in advance in kind understanding, and our deaths would be a celebration of lives lived well not a matter of sorrow. You are free to place whatever self-imposed limitations on your experience of being you wish. I will continue to appreciate this one moment as it comes, and remain at peace with all outcomes that may yet to be. If a man can burn alive in Nirvana, what outcome is worth giving up this moment to fearfully and futilely plan to avoid? Had I planned ahead, I never would have been so bold as to imagine, let alone try to plan this wild string of priceless life experiences the universe has been so kind to provide me. If anything, my planning ahead is to mindfully live as kindly and generously as possible in this moment and stay alert for the universes bountiful gifts of opportunity for the only currency I value, a richness of life experience. If from this moment onward I'm faced with rapid torturous death of myself and everyone I know, I would remain unshakably grateful for the amazing ride this moment of life has been. The universe owes me nothing, every new breath I draw is a celebration of being unrelated to circumstance. Some choices are instantly there own best reward. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  9. The definition of space

    It would be at the cost of enjoying this moment of Now to fret about what may or may not be later. All life choices can seem as easy or as difficult as we chose to percieve them to be. The beauty of it, is that you don't have to make the choices for tomorrow or next year or whatever, only have to choose for this one infinitesimally small moment of Now that encompasses all that is real. The universe has been so incredibly kind to me, this string of beautiful life experiences has already provided far more fulfilment than I had ever imagined possible to experience in a lifetime. Yesterday I was climbing a sky crane in China to recover the RC copter filming rig I crashed into it that managed to somehow stick on the end of the cranes counterweight. The wind and rain and priceless view was so beautiful, looking down I knew if I slipped my ear to ear smile on the way down would leave a crater. I do not need to enjoy tomorrow today, the trick is to choose to gratefully enjoy this one infinitesimally brief moment of Now and not choose to deviate. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  10. The definition of space

    1. Oneness precludes 'where' constructs. All is inseparable from All or it wouldn't be All. 2. The moment an aspect of 'knowing' becomes expressible it's no longer the known thing and instead replaced by some human constructed confusion that inherently can not mean the same thing to another being. If a human-constructed-logic-game proof of Oneness is desired, tell me an aspect of reality you know which exists beyond the scope of awareness in your reality. Inherent Oneness from the confines the individuals perceived awareness. 3. Forgive self completely to sever from all self-imposed burdens. Love self. Forgive all beings unconditionally for all things that may have arisen or be yet to arise. Love all others. Align one's behavior with ones words with ones thoughts and enjoy this one fleeting moment unbreakably. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  11. The definition of space

    Reality to the limit of a humans ability to 'know' it remains some collection of inherently subjective interpretations of sensory phenomena. CTs camp is not denying reality, but rather the human constructed delusions of knowing it to instead embrace what IS. Entanglement has been demonstrated now with particles as large diamond chips, C60-C70 molecules and more. It's been proven over intergalactic 'distances' with light. The implications would mean no relativism in space-time or no space-time ('space' in physics can't occur with its 4th dimensional and gravitational components to define it). If one wishes to be a concrete evidence based materialist, then either space-time construct conclude along with the products defined by it like rates and all relativistic properties, or one accepts the perception of observational evidence to be a property of a Oneness appearing to be multiple things due to the limitations of the sensory perception. If one examines the 'concrete' closely enough, one finds its 99.999999% empty space between atomic particles that have an exclusively indeterminate location and momentum only given deterministic arising through the choice of the perceivers method of observing and hence breaking the indeterminate probabilistic state. When one looks beyond these probabilistic atomic particles to sub-atomic particles the fraction of particles to emptyness is once again a tremendous percent emptyness, not as well defined due to measurement limitations but on a similar order of 99.999999% vacancy. This same trend of 99.9999999% vacancy is seen again moving upwards in observation from atoms to planets in the solar system, from solar systems being 99.999999% empty, and composing galaxies from star clusters which are 99.9999999% emptyness and super clusters of galaxies that again share another ratio of emptyness in the 99.9999999% range. The limits of current human perception looking smaller or larger both arrive at some energy gradient which vanishes to approaching the perception limited threshold of measurable emptyness in either direction. The aspects of which we call not-emptyness are artifacts of perception. Through quantum entanglement the space-time illusion collapses into non-relativistic Oneness. That's not some metaphysical dogma, that's if you want to claim to be a concrete empirical evidence based objective realist examining the physics of nature. It's easy to say your chair holds up your ass, but the reality is humans lack even a mechanism to know if they are only dreaming, or dreaming of dreaming etc. When the physics is examined there is an empty Oneness and what humans may choose to believe beyond this is some optional self-constructed delusion set. Space (or space-time as they are inseparable) is a human construct for some state of subjective perception limition induced confusion. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  12. Even if you keep walking seeking more and more fertile soil, even if you keep planting the most beautiful seeds, you will never discover your garden if you continue walking away from it. There was never something lacking from enjoying the most beautiful garden than concluding the choice to focus on aspects of personal discontentment rather than whole hearted appreciation of this one moment exactly as it is in Now. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  13. deforming feeling on my face when i meditate

    The face distorting pressure has occurred a number of times. It has become so intense on occasion I stop meditation due to feeling like it's going to stretch my skin open. I had assumed it was just nerve damage. My face has physically changed so much since my passport photo, I was special screened at an airport with a visual recognition camera that claimed I was only a 35% match from the 7 year previous passport photo. Cannabis is a plant. Human bodies are all fixed into a relationship with plants (when animals carcasses are eaten this energy too came from plants converting the solar energy into biomass as the energy input.) Human endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. Similarly, if ever used or not every human has dedicated enzymes and receptors with no other function than to transport the compounds in DMT and psychedelic mushrooms and other entheogens across the blood brain barrier. Beings are free to repeat whatever propaganda they wish to vilify entheogens, yet the body and mind they are using to do so remains very clearly designed/evolved to receive the ineffable experiences they offer. Many of the people I've known who live most compassionately and consciously use Cannabis daily. That said, anything done with regularity, including spiritual practices will become the new baseline level and inherently become unable to be detected/appreciated. At this point it's upkeep no longer progress, no matter if the experience is repeated cannabis exposure or repeated stagnant meditation exposure. The most dangerous and disrespectful to life activity a human can make is settling into a comfortable daily routine. This path means ensured death having wasted the incredible experience opportunities of still being alive. For this reason, weed/mushrooms/etc are not bad on there own, and used sporadical in spiritual-level-doses (heavily uncomfortable doses) incredibly beneficial to enriching life experiences. The very same things become detrimental to enriching life experiences if repeated regularly at a comfortable level, as this steals ones single finite moment repeating experiences already known/learned. From the moment of conception the single entitlement of the body and mind is to conclude. Prior to this is the opportunity for enriching life experience to stir the soul and discover the beautiful awareness of Being. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  14. First time reading I foolishly confused the Zen beauty for sarcasm. Hakuin remains neither pleased nor displeased with your fine insight.
  15. Enjoing south east Asia as I type this. Very muggy. Bugs of a good variety and size. Bring cool clothing and don't bring anything you don't want soaked with rain and dew. I'm using hotels, which seem to not be short on mosquitos even inside the rooms and hallways. If I weren't in hotels, a tent with mosquito netting would be nice. I have traveled Asia a few times a year for the last 8 years. The people are so kind and helpful, and the food is amazing. I've only had food poisoning from 5 star restaurants. Never had an issue eating from food vendor carts/bikes on the sides of the road. Lots of hustlers with lots of creative cash hustling attempts to enjoy. In my travels, the bigger the temple and the bigger the gold foiled Buddhas, the less wisdom and greater life discontentment. The most advanced Buddhist lifestyles I've seen here are from the folks you find sharing a pot of rice in the alleys early in the morning before they go to work. Some have shared profound wisdom with me through actions. The folks in orange robes I've met most often watch Chinese reality TV all day. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  16. Body is some fleeting clump of energy on loan. No matter the mechanisms involved, it will be paid back perfectly atom for atom. If it's fed to vultures, burned, buried, or turns to light it ultimately doesn't matter. If while the body device is still on loan in a beings temporary care and it's kept unused in a cave, this is much opportunity to help others traded for selfish pursuit of body death siddhas. Enlightenment is a state of being without delusion. Physical phenomena is an unrelated optional addition. Ensured failure of any practice is the moment a being tries to follow another beings path, no matter if it's labeled Zen or Buddhist, Taoist etc. From that moment it's idolatry and self-delusion practice rather than liberation. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  17. Vegetarianism and the Spiritual Path

    With each meal purchase, a being has the choice to live in a world with more torture and murder of sentient aware beings, or less torture and murder of sentient aware beings. If ones body is composed of the energy from tortured and murdered innocent beings, it will be a material coalescence of this violence. The Dali Lama himself has not been able to escape this internal violence from his continued corpse eating rituals, and suffers inside and often lashes out at others because of it. While it seemed impossible to quench all negative emotion in my own life while also participating in corpse eating, it's been many years no without so much as a flicker of anger since concluding such barbaric unnecessary actions. There is no religious practice on earth that will compensate for the corpse eating rituals impact towards clouding the mind in internal conflict from building ones body out of the spoils of the suffering and death of innocent beings. The universe finds equilibrium, every being on it pays back this fleeting loan of borrowed energy by the conclusion of this life. If ones interest is to create themselves from the energy of torture and suffering, one is free to do so and instantly experiences the repercussions of this choice. The best things in life are all free, and instantly there own best rewards in doing. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  18. Thank you for sharing your wisdom my friend. The contrived inherently includes all things language based. Concluding the pointless and inherently delusional conversions of what IS into some kind of pointlessly categorized and compared contrived label set is instantly it's own best reward. The bantering dialogue of pointless judgement and comparison occuring inside the mind is optional to the limit of a beings awareness of mindfulness. It is not you, and not your awareness, and in its conclusion a being may find awareness of something so beautiful it couldn't be humanly explained or understood let alone contrived. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  19. confusing the absolute and the relative

    What if, a being had not had the grammar construct model indoctrinated? Do they still experience a reality? Do atoms explaining atoms have a mechanism to find Truth of the nature of what IS? Do atoms explaining atoms have a mechanism to even explain the nature of there own mind games with more mind games, no matter how clever of rules they make up for the game and stick to them? The mental fog is humans deluded to the point of replacing the nature of reality with some human mind constructs rather than appreciation of the real. Real to the limit of a beings ability to know it is some appearent perception of phenomena. Going even one step further to interpretion or charactorizing phenomena becomes exclusively a minds choice in subjective delusion of what may or may not be. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  20. confusing the absolute and the relative

    For a word to have the same meaning, it could only happen through being interpreted by the same consciousness. Even for the same being, the consciousness of the being has already altered by first having been asked the meaning prior. Two people can not hear the same thing or see the same thing anymore than one could be splashed by the same wave at the beach twice. The limitations of all things a being may or may not have the illusion of knowing were once first filtered through some sensory type of phenomena. It doesn't matter if it's from an interpretation of light reflecting off droplets of ink on paper, from a ear drum vibrations in a college lecture hall, or sitting in the forest being with nature. If it's reached some form of a humans conceptualization of a thing, it was filtered through senses that inherently can only bio-electro-chemically function to input data through relative differences in perception of some sensory phenomena. If it's a fathomable thing/concept, it's inherently non-absolute, because it's already been broken down and categorized replacing the reality into some relative conceptualized imperfect approximation that would be impossible to be the same twice. It's easy to write the infinity symbol. It's easy say it's 'understood'and defined. All the other words ultimately are no better off, as they are defined only through a web of other imperfect relationships. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  21. confusing the absolute and the relative

    If a human is capable of expressing it with words, its inherently relative as words function through preconceived relations if they hold a meaning to the listener. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  22. If it was so mundane you could simply read some lines and understand the essence of the effect, it wouldn't be worth seeking. Your Love is only limited by your own choice in limitations. Your Wisdom is only limited by your own delusions of knowing-things. When a being is done fearing the illusion of something outside itself, an unbreakable peace comes from Loving all things equally as oneself. Some choices are instantly there own best reward. Unlimited Love to you Brother! Enjoy a whole-hearted celebration of this one fleeting moment! It's been patiently there waiting for your appreciation. All the best things in life are free. -Bud
  23. Is Nirvikalpa Samadhi actually a dead end?

    It's not a matter of trust, not a matter of accuracy, not a matter of poetry skills, not a matter of genuine experience or intent to communicate it. It's a limitation of words capacity to communicate inherently being tied to relating only from pool of experiences in the readers life experience repertoire, and even then only capable of relative comparisons between related experience rather than ever expressing an absolute (or any form of Truth). Even a Buddha could spend a lifetime creating the definitive through and precise written description of Nirvana for you, and when he is done it's a pile of paper and ink not Nirvana. When a mind reads it and replaces their lack of awareness of Nirvana with any combination of words this is only deluding them further from awareness of the experience. Sincerely forgive all beings and situations for all things that may have occurred, may be occurring, or may be yet to occur. Mindfully conclude any word-based thought process, it can only be a web of delusion. Let go of everything you've ever held onto, including the thought of what letting go and "you" means. Appreciate with perfect mindfulness this one fleeting moment without judgement, without filtering and processing and identifying and sorting any aspect of phenomena as good/bad/indifferent. This is just some words not the experience, my words are no better than anyone else's, but in compassion for you made an imperfect guide that may or may not be of any value depending on the readers choice and capacity to interpret. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  24. Is Nirvikalpa Samadhi actually a dead end?

    Nirvana is a dead end like inner peace or Enlightenment is a dead end if a being chooses to define existing in terms of self-imposed suffering. Nirvana doesn't leave when a being chooses to stop appreciation of it to instead overlay some constructed web of thoughts. The attention of the being has simply shifted away from it to whatever else. Somethings are instantly there own best reward in doing, somethings are instantly there own cruelest punishment in doing. It remains the choice of the being to show themselves compassion or torture. Unlimited Love, -Bud
  25. Is Nirvikalpa Samadhi actually a dead end?

    While one wants to experience Nirvana they are replacing Nirvana with this choice to experience wanting. While one wants to understand Nirvana they are replacing Nirvana with the choice to want to understand Nirvana. While one researches others inherently imperfect writings of Nirvana they are replacing Nirvana with the choice to research. All that you read or ponder about taking a drink will not quench your thirst. If a being mindfully chooses stillness, they may discover the unfathomable beauty that has always been there waiting to be appreciated. Unlimited Love, -Bud
