He was in deep samadhi and was unable to tend to basic needs.

I believe during Samadhi.

Speak for yourself about the diapers because I am not wearing them. 🤣🤣🤣 We is a plural pronoun where you have included all persons or at least implied it. Don’t include me in “we” since I am opting out as a choice.

Ramana Maharshi sat around in diapers and his devotees fed, changed his diapers and bathed him. I guess that is what some want here? Don’t ask me. 🤣🤣🤣

That is the million dollar question! Right to the heart of the matter! I have been around many heartless selfish Buddhists as well as Advaita devotees who could care less about others.

I had an encounter with a 6’ Western Diamondback rattlesnake a few years ago in the mountains above Los Alamos NM. It’s rattle stopped me in my tracks at 12’ away. I wasn’t afraid, but my mind was very clear with a bit of adrenaline. Western Diamondbacks don’t back off!

Why bother?

It always amazes me that "I" and "is" are used prolifically in non-dual discussions. The verb 'is', or 'to be' denote action by an individual that directly contradicts what you are attempting to negate.

I was waiting for some snake encounters from you since your country has the most poisonous snakes in the known universe. Survival protective instinct was automatic.

I have mentioned on this forum regarding my history with PTSD that went on for decades most every night, same time most every night. Guess what triggered the events at the very beginning? Vipassana meditation! That wasn’t the cause, but the trigger that set it off.

A formidable opponent for certain. Especially, with young ones around. I

One point to consider is that certain individuals with mental, organic, and brain damage will not know fear. Meditation or any practice will not be a solution.

Many talk on this forum with no experience of being faced with threatening situations.

‘Terror and fear go together. Have you been in that type of situation?

‘Today is the 78th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, June 6th 1944. I want to see the purveyors of no self no fear run headlong onto Omaha Beach and see what cold hard reality feels like. That’s what sheer terror is!

Who are “we” that you speak of? That is a generalized statement where you are attempting to apply it to all persons, a false generalization. Speak for you self please and don’t condemn others to your world view. I call it religious posturing whereby one claims a higher superiority, or cause, by classifying others as ignorant.

Fear is a physiological evolutionary response built into the lower brain stem, a survival mechanism. Not a recent adaptation, but over hundreds of millions of years. Ignorance has nothing to do with it.

You're supposed to have the answer. Only if you know the question because I don't.

CO2 tipping point was around 400ppm a few years ago and as of today C02 is at 421ppm. Not good at all!

What about the entire being (body) experiencing a full awakening? There seems to be scant evidence of it. Although, U.G. Krishnamurti, Sri Aurobindo and Mirra Alfassa AKA The Mother, may be in that category.

Thanks! As I said before it was the guilt tripping and blaming what he doesn't understand. The heart center is not the physical heart as he alludes to.

According to Southern Baptist dogma.

That is not the point! The OP is regarding non-dual with dualism, but so far the discussion has been enlightening, unlike so many other discussions on this site. Let's keep the guilt and fear mongering out of it. Shall we?
