Definitely an April fools joke, but a good one! Thanks friend!

When you discover the completeness of this experience exactly how it is, the previously perceived issues will be seen as reflections emanating from ones own ego's confusion of how the Oneness should be. Cosmic storms will remain an aspect of the perfection of the Oneness manifesting. Beings still incomplete enough to seek treats of taste and nervous sensory pleasures will not be taming them. They have not yet tamed mastery of the earthly vessel they are piloting. Welcome! Unlimited Love, -Bud

You are NOT qualified to critique a Spiritual Tradition if...
Bud Jetsun replied to dwai's topic in Hindu Discussion
A bird calls in the tree. It doesn't get the call right or wrong, just calls. A human call may be less refined, and often composed of a series of constructed substitutes (words) to replace self-expression in the call. That which can be expressed, no matter the skills or right view of the poet, is not the Dao, but some equally delusionary combination of symbols, containing the same amount of truth as any other patterns of symbols. The nature of the fool is to laugh at wisdom. The nature of the wise is to understand the wisdom remains unblemished by the fools laughter. The nature of reality remains equanimous and equally wonder-filled despite our inherently relative human perception/conception limitations. The fruits of aligning with the nature of reality (Logos/Dao/etc), is to live in the same unbreakable equanimous liberation. Be grateful for those who treat you cruelly, they are the instruments which enable you to recognize and appreciate kindness. Thank you for sharing so much excellent wisdom which helped me evolve Dwai. Every moment everyone starts over fresh from scratch as a beginner with unlimited potential to appreciate Now. Unlimited Love, -Bud -

No one has any of them, they are not possessions. Wisdom comes from all places. Examine the aspects of oneself which cares about the critique. Unlimited Love, -Bud -
Is non-duality actually a fundamental truth, or just another philosophy?Â
Bud Jetsun replied to Bindi's topic in General Discussion
Before experiencing a non-dual state, it's something explainable with psychology verbiage. After experiencing a non-dual state, it's something so beautiful and awe inspiring, all the labeling or explanations seem as useful as using a thimble to scoop up an ocean. Unlimited Love, -Bud -
Is there any chance that I'm going to die from drawing my sexual energy up to my head?
Bud Jetsun replied to Hoang Nam's topic in Newcomer Corner
Shuffling energy around in your body is possible, but it will return to match the choices in attention and lifestyle afterwards. Your singular guarantee is the death of your body. Prior to the bodies death, a single moment exists offering the opportunity to appreciate Now. Appreciation for the Now will change where energy resides in the relaxed natural state. Unlimited Love, -Bud -
There are no mandatory prerequisites required to appreciate Now. Mindfulness comes when ones thoughts are recognized as their singular responsibility always inherently under their own minds exclusive control. With mindfulness, one may choose to appreciate whatever the nature of Now may be. The commitment level to attain is terminal. It's not the tree or the act of sitting, but the decision to appreciate the real or die in the attempt. Unlimited Love, -Bud

What else is there to do, after being able to meditate on emptiness?
Bud Jetsun replied to Phoenix3's topic in Daoist Discussion
Emptiness is the nature of the whole of reality including unlimited unfathomable realms as well as the whole of your spirits experiential journey. The emptiness is the void from which the One becomes the illusion of 2 and gives rise to the appearance of '10,000 things.' If you're achieving it, you don't have to ask another question. Unlimited Love, -Bud -
Monkey-minding a construct delusion of comprehending God's will is just one more obstacle between a being appreciating Now, which is the whole of that which is of God and the divine. In appreciating the real, one may recognize divine perfection of the galaxy of galaxies. Starting fresh as a beginner knowing nothing and clinging to nothing in each passing second, the cup may have enough empty space for the divine. Unlimited Love, -Bud

When ones body consumes a fruit, it's not because of a rigorous and precise conscious effort to label and select which compounds and molecules should go to eyes and heart and brain and skin to become that body. The spirit handles this emmensely complex beyond human mind comprehension task for each of us effortlessly. When given life experience rather than fruit, the spirit equally effortlessly knows exactly what it needs to harvest in enriching experience to evolve. Conflict only occurs as a result of a false delusion expectation of how Now should be somehow different than its inherent divine perfection. Unlimited Love, -Bud

All paradox arises only from the fallacy assumption there was something that could have been known or understood by viewing patterns of symbols. Attempting to convey meaning in words shares an inherent pseudo-paradox in that no two can mean the same to any two beings without also being the same consciousness to relate to what the pattern of symbols meant to the author. Chapter 41 rings true in every line with no confusion or paradox required to perceive, he is being a perfectly straight-shooter, but the message falling on ears with expectations to interpret a different message will not discover the directness of its expressions of the nature of reality until ready. This effect is not by chance, but a precious gift. Milarepa Wisdom which explains why the no-attachment state clinging to nothing seems outwardly like making poor life choices, but is part of liberation. Nature grows crystals as perfectly square as I've got tools to measure (and I can measure ~+-0.1um) It's true they still aren't perfect if you could measure more precisely, but that's not related to the meaning, which transcends the geometry of the square and the corners.

Karma positive negative, balanced or eliminated is not liberation, but a karmic conditional fleeting state. Karmic effect concludes only when sincere appreciation of all outcomes brings equal choices in gratitude, as inherently "good/bad" experience optional construct paradigm has been replaced with optional unbreakable choice in compassion to self (aka, appreciation of this one moment between conception and death.) Breath is not liberation, personally never perfected even a single breath and it is with deep appreciation for the challenge opportunity offered in breath. Meditation as an activity to do which in itself is unrelated to liberation, but may optionally offer the opportunity to realize its always been possible to show genuine gratitude unconditionally for all range of life experiences by mindful choice, which is liberation from the capacity for suffering to the limits of the beings choice in mindfulness. We each alone each limit the bounds of our inherent capacity to mindfully appreciate now as it is. The aspects of human constructed expression and labels for confusion, including this post is not liberation, but a gift in compassion for all beings. Humble not-knowing eyes and ears prepared to drop the limitless human labeled constructed self ensnarement in exchange for the awareness and appreciation of the divine beauty in all aspects of the galaxy of galaxies will know liberation from suffering and constructs alike. The immortal spirit inside each being eventually evolves to someday chose to appreciate Now (while inhabiting an optionally distracting meat-sack monkey mind persisting ego-ilusions) , maybe thousands of lifetimes later, but it still won't happen until they make the choice to mindfully do it Now and not choose to stop.

Liberation happens when a being recognizes nobody else has ever thought for them, and mindfully choose to appreciate the nature of what IS rather than suffering a personal fantasy of how they think it needs to be instead. The universe offers some sensational phenomenon. If a being chooses to receive the phenomenon with sincere gratitude or with sincere fear is the difference between liberation from suffering and suffering. All suffering arises from a single beings choice in Now, all liberation arises from a single beings choice in Now. Choosing to wait for some time other than Now to choose to experience liberation is ensuring suffering until death. Liberation can not be saved up for with weekly payments over time, it does not have a list of conditional prerequisites, it can not be purchased, it can not be captured or saved in a jar for later use. It is a precious gift you can unstoppably and unbreakably choose to experience in Now, or not. Unlimited Love, -Bud

No text can offer more than the reader is willing to gain from it. Diamond sutra may optionally offer unbreakable liberation. Perhaps only the Upanishads and Dao-de-Jing translations evoked spontaneous tears of joy to word count ratios. None of the patterns of symbol/letter arrangement creates the joy of liberation in itself, but through relating aspects to this one fleeting moment between conception and death. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Consciousness is the aspect of your being choosing to entertain constructs/delusion/thought. This is the little mind that thinks itself into meaningless loops capable of filling unlimited pages of philosophy texts with expressions of personal confusion. Awareness is the equanimous observer, which is optional to ever experience or appreciate. If one chooses to silence the thinking mind, an unfathomably beautiful awareness remains. These are just some patterns of symbols for the conscious mind to stumble around, awareness requires no comprehension, labels or definitions of awareness. Defining it at any level is choosing to replace perception of awareness with unnecessary human constructed aspects of confusion. Unlimited Love, -Bud
-
Consciousness is not awareness. Consciousness comes as goes willy-nilly, awareness remains uneffected. My apologies for not being a poet to help make a better pattern of letters to answer. Countless vastly superior poets offer better explanation, but perhaps it still requires experiential relating to grasp. Unlimited Love, -Bud

As always, thank you for sharing your wisdom Spotless. Can't bunny hop a 370lbs motorcycle over a large unexpected obstacle until the moment you discover one in your path while traveling at a high rate of speed. Then somehow it works perfectly, because the alternative option of just splattering against it is adequate motivation to make it happen. Maybe guardian angel assistance, maybe temporarily unlocking access to every ounce of strength, maybe mind/matter interaction, but whatever phenomenona is involved it works. Unlimited Love, -Bud

As a guy who's KO'd himself enough in decades of amateur motorcycle racing, awareness doesn't cease when KO'd, just conscious mind pauses for a bit and with good fortune resets. In heavy trauma (broken neck/spine KO's which I don't need to manifest occurring again with good fortune), sometimes memories of awareness during the crash event doesn't happen for a few days, but awareness diligently remained through it all. When sleeping, awareness remains perfect, conscious mind rests while awareness and subconscious mind plays or meditates in the internal dream state. I would never ask or expect anyone to believe anything Ive stated on the nature of awareness in natural sleep and/or KO'd states, as if I had not experienced it myself I would not believe it was possible either. I've only experienced perfect awareness during sleep for a 4 day period following a breakthrough plant teacher assisted 15hr meditation session on a long international flight. After the 4th day of being aware of everything through the whole night of sleep, I chose to let awareness in sleep return to being appreciated by subconscious mind alone, as it's optimized for perceiving sleep state awareness.

Human sensory phenomenona interfaces through inherently relative ionic differentials in Sodium and Potassium ion concentrations. Through no amount of relative data collection does one arrive at an absolute. Words are inherently relative, they could not contain an absolute to share it verbally/textually. Yet with equanimity, the absolute of Now remains the whole of the real and always inseparable, inherently inexpressible, and always optionally available to appreciate to the limits of a beings choice in mindfulness. As a scientist engineer I have tremendous gratitude for the science foundation I use as a tool to benefit all living beings. This does not change that in no aspects does it or has it contained truth, but sometimes offers inherently imperfect but still useful functional aspects despite being exclusively an expression of human constructed confusion. I remember decades ago as a young scientist thinking science had so many aspects of reality concretely solved, yet today I welcome anyone to please share even a single aspect which hasn't been later proven to be an incorrect assumption of what may be. God is being Now (and perhaps always.) The Dao exists in Now (and perhaps always.) What God/Dao created or is of God/Dao exists to human sensory perception limitations in Now alone. When we trade what is of the Dao in exchange for "imagination of future state," this is how genuine appreciation of God and the Dao are rejected and replaced by the optional delusion layers covering over it. Expressable aspects of may-yet-to-be is called fantasy, and only Now remains no matter how long or short you choose to wait to discover what is of God/Dao. Whatever busy work is believed to be prerequisite requirements to appreciate Now is actually just additional layers of separation between Now and appreciation of Now. Now has no dogma and no preferences or needs related to dogmas. No membership cards or special handshakes. No uniforms or time intervals in special postures required. No amount of acting out ritual motions generates a surrogate Now. Now awareness requires no amount of imagining and manifesting Now blocks or manifesting Now block removals. It requires only appreciation of this one fleeting moment between conception and death. Each being is free to live and die having spent the moment diligently persisting/manifesting unlimited reasons why they are unprepared or unworthy to appreciate Now. Now remains the whole of the real with equanimity maintaining perfect up-time availability to appreciate if a being wishes. It may optionally be imagined as something difficult, and if ones objective is to understand Now it only stacks delusions of the non-real to cover over the real in a meaningless puzzle as complex or simple as the bounds of imagination choose to take it. No spare moment to waste, commit with reverence and the respect a life a death situation deserves. Each being is free to suffer their own choices in belief and preference. Each being remains equally free to embrace their one moment with appreciation, this is the mechanism by which one honors God and lives the Dao. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply my friend. For a fellow who prefers science labeled choice in religion: Atoms aware of atoms at any distance(or illusion of distance) instantly(to the limits of today's best equipment's ability to measure) https://www.sciencenews.org/article/millions-atoms-entangled-record-breaking-quantum-tests When a being accepts not knowing, opportunity for discovery arises. If the discovery is believed, then the opportunity for discovery is halted. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Respectfully sir, the choice to believe science is merely a common flavor of religion in which every theory without exception has later been shown to be mistaken human confusion. The scientific method applied toward science itself reveals each hypothesis so far has contained purely human fantasy. The difference between what's labeled fiction and non-fiction by a culture is that cultures preferences in self-delusion. All expressable aspects of being sum to atoms pondering the nature of atoms. Awareness continues to shine in brilliantly if it's ever noticed and appreciated or not. Each beings single divine entitlement is shedding the meat sack and returning to unfiltered and unconfused awareness of what may be. Experiencing this prior to death is optionally always available, but never a requirement. Unlimited Love, -Bud

What aspects of an immortal spirit could be created by human action/choices? Which aspects of an immortal spirit could be created or destroyed? What if the greatest blockage is belief in great blocks? If this one moment isn't appreciated in Now, the meat sack still dies choking on a web of it's personal flavor of choice in delusions never having appreciated that which is of the Dao. Immortal spirit remains in unbreakable equanimity even if a being chooses to replace awareness of it with human constructed labels for expressing confusions of what may be. Waiting for Now to be something other than Now to be appreciated is suicide while the body still functions. The Dao remains perfect, immortal spirit remains perfect, the option for a being to appreciate them as they are remains unlimited. Unlimited Love, -Bud

The Effect of Drugs and other Substances on our Spiritual Training!
Bud Jetsun replied to LousyLaoTzu's topic in Daoist Discussion
Pick whichever arbitrary levels you wish for the ineffable and it will be as good as another. If you're perceiving a "you" concept existing as something having an experience (even if it's God rape/intercourse or whatever), then not there yet, but possible level 3-4. While there is still concepts of being someone having some type of an experience then you're not Level5, and remaining dualistic between delusion of what self may be and the inherent Oneness of reality. In exploring the nature of reality I have chosen to experience a dozen or more plant/chemical teachers, in a low dose test and a very high dose test, always with commitment to push deeper into exploring mind and supra-mind or no-mind states of being. Psychonaut meditation explorer would be an accurate description, but each being remains free to make the labels of their own choosing (druggie, fake-druggie, etc). Ultimately makes no difference what numbers and nomenclature, but this is the scale reference for trips. Level5 for those who have been there contains no aspects meaningfully relatable to others and is treated with awe and reverence until dying breath. Unlimited Love, -Bud Level 1This level produces a mild "stoning" effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etc). Some short term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound "wider".Level 2Bright colors, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2 dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change of short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. Vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed. Level 3Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing in wood grained or "mother of pearl" surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colors, etcetera). Time distortions and "moments of eternity". Level 4Strong hallucinations, i.e. objects morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking toyou, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out ofbody experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.Level 5 Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measureable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satorienlightenment (and other such labels).- 54 replies

The Effect of Drugs and other Substances on our Spiritual Training!
Bud Jetsun replied to LousyLaoTzu's topic in Daoist Discussion
Respectfully sir, if your dosage and/or choice to cling to mind delusion remains and thought and concepts are possible, it's not a spiritual level dose. If done right, there are no illusions of self and no residue of what self may have been. No constructs and no residue of what constructs may have been. No expressible aspects or a concept of what expression may be. Pure indescribable unfiltered awareness of being Now is all that remains. This supra-mind timeless state experience even for a moment is more life-enriching than the summation of all human life activity/experience. Unlimited Love, -Bud- 54 replies
