disturbing nonsense. gone for awhile. bye.

Can a lion eat you twice?
-
this came up and I forgot whom I wanted to share this withā¦ I hope it finds its way might be worth pondering about @dwai how do you recognize a lion for a lion (and yes thatās a metaphorical/philosophical question) ?
-
Neo, itās not a way of being dragged anywhereā¦ itās about letting go (not the same as giving up!) and following the cute white little rabbit down the w/hole *š° ā¦if you dare and are prepared enoughā¦ that might not be up to you - anyhow - these windows of opportunity are small, you gotta be prepared, if you think about it for one millisecond, itās gone - *š°or whatever they call it in your tradition (grace?)ā¦

@old3bob would you mind expanding on that thought a bit more or rephrase it in simpler concepts or connections, it seems like potential, but I fail to understand you hereā¦

there seems to be a detox process going on for me recently, itās not simply physical, - else Iād simply throw up, it feels more like having an alleviating period but going upwards in the wrong directing (like wanting to vomit but thereās no material), heat from upper belly/breast region towards mouthā¦ what helps the process, before I consider classic advice for traditional herb recipies? Sage? Salvia officinalis? What else?

When if ever is guiding of behavior of others ethical? ā Due to conditioning and separate interests doesnāt it resort to āmanipulationā fairly quickly as long as you get in an argument with someone? Or try to act from a sphere of separate self? How can healthy boundaries be defined and upholded? How can the conditioning be dissoluted? (this probably should be made in a separate thread or will be deleted, note to self.)

NOW, thatās why!

Why is the white knight talking backwards? Is it a koan? Is he even white? A knight? Does he even exist? What is behind words?

thread for posts that are easy to understand by most people
S:C replied to Cobie's topic in Buddhist Discussion
My understanding: The ideal of the divine/light/energy/union/dissolution/unreasonable happiness [placeholderā¦] is to be found and recognized in the real present moment and not in a distant far away different layer of ārealityā. Un-separable. Giving up on absolutes. -
Thoughts or feelings, yes, that prove to be a part of resistance and thus hinder a full reception. (In my opinion. Which might be wrong.)
-
If I define it, I separate subject and object in my perception. Itās useful if you want to manipulate perception in that way. But then thereās still a you. Nice to have made you laugh. Make me laugh too?

Your brain structure doesnāt care if its the past or not if an experience ingrained itself there. Causality in its different forms doesnāt bring clarity at all. Too binary. Probability more like it. Never clarity. But beyond. Causality like time is a human concept.
-
Iām not so sure anymore. Isnāt truth a questionable and sometimes even dubious concept, depending on the perspective, question, context and definitions? Whatās it called in the vedas? I gotta look that up sometimeā¦

That too, was quite helpful and enlightening today! Thank you @Daniel ! Do you have advice for a good book that gives an entry into modal logic (ā¦ is there something like modal logic for dummies?) You explained it very well, I think itās helpful for all sorts of assertions of people!
