Salvijus

Nungali, please write something positive/wholesome for once. All that salt is is not healthy for anyone. I appreciate it if you do 🙏 And if you don't want to do that, then let's at least part our ways and not engage or slander each other anymore. I hope that's cool with you 🙏

@Apech No need for flowers 🌸

You continue to make my point.

True... I could use some medicine from all that salt.

First of. These two words are often used interchangably. Sencond of all. You can't do spirituality without addressing the soul. And you can't do any work on the soul without it belonging to the spiritual process aswell.

Could be because of failure to understand the intention of those words.

- knock knock - who's there? - a delivery boy - but i don't remember ordering anything - not a single minute in your day goes by where your heart is not crying for deliverance. -knock knock -who's there? -your worst nightmare -a big scary demon? -the love of God.

🤧 That was beautiful

"So ... just be a camera then ?" Camera has no perception or knowledge of what it is recording. Camera is only capturing the light outside and storing it. But there there is nothing sentient there to perceive the collected data. Like a mirror. A mirror gives a clear reflection of reality, but reflection is not knowledge. And it is knowledge of reality (synonymous with perception of reality) that amounts to knowing the truth. The element of Knowledge is missing in both camera and mirror. Without the ability to Know( synonymous with "to perceive" in this context) , there is no possibility of consciously knowing Truth. Mindfulness is not just recording the information that enters through our senses. Mindfulness is to have concious knowledge of life that is throbbing all around you. That's why there are degrees of mindfulness and mindlessness. "To the extent you are concious, to that extent you know the truth, to that extent you're free from false perceptions, illusions, projections of ego. To that extent you are free and happy"

I think no matter what I say, some of you guys will still going to get salty. But making sarcastic jokes is not a healthy or effective way to cope with it. Something unfortunatly you guys are taking a long time to understand it seems... But hey, if you think that will bring you closure, by all means, keep trying.

Cool

Just because my answers fly over your head, doesn't mean they missed the point.

I mean what was wrong with my answer? I answered your question why animals don't see reality as it is even if we have established that they are mindful. What more do you want.

Mmm. What do you mean? What was wrong with my answer?

Not mindful of their own conditioning tho. That's the main difference. A human being has a potential to become aware of their own conditioning through the practice of meditation and that enables them to see reality without these filters/conditionings.

The one who sees reality without conditioning. In this case both animals are not witnessing the truth of reality.

Different method but same objective. Big deal.

Both of them are seeing reality through the filters of their survival conditioning. Their minds are conditioned in a certain way. Only a human being can see reality beyond any sort of conditioning. And witness the truth of all reality unfiltered, unprejudice, unpainted with their projections.

Mindfulness as a practice is not the truth. Mindfulness as your ability to perceive reality without any filters is the truth.

"The degree to which you are concious is the the degree to which you know the truth."

In this particular context yes.

In that sense mindfulness and the truth are the same. When you're mindfulness is 100%, you perceive reality as it is.

"Truth - the reality one perceives when there are no mental difillements or mental projections going on." There's is no way to make it more direct than this.

When you perceive reality without the filters of ego. You perceive the Truth. How is that not a direct answer?

"Perception of reality without any filters of the ego. " That's a clean answer.
