Pero

It was more of a rhetorical question, I`m not searching for an answer. Anyway, I don`t think I understand these questions. Like if I find one anywhere, like it is somewhere outside that I should search for it? Nor am I sure should I be talking about my experience. In any case, it is something one has to experience, I cannot tell you what it is like. And one reason for that is also that I have not enough experience. And even if I told you, what good would that do? If I say, it`s like an orange, you will think maybe it`s something like an orange. But then someone else will say it`s like an apple, and you`ll think it`s something like an apple. Which you said yourself, "not something you have decided to be true". You need to "find" for yourself. I`m very little knowledgeable, so better for me not to speak too much so I won`t say stupid things (more than usual anyway hehe). Perhaps it would be better if you explain what exactly you mean by two fighting in war and one fighting in war?

Hi Max Do you know him personally? Or read his book or something? What do you think? Some things are a bit weird (perhaps an understatement hehe), like:

War can only be if there are two. If there is one, where could conflict be? Hmm, sorry to nitpick but, you "heard" or it was passed on to you? Anyway, can you describe it (in a general way)?

No Buddhas, no mind. Father Paul soars beyond the sky, Zenbrook thinks of getting high.

Is emptiness the same as the "void"? If so, I would say no. Basically, the danger is that you could become a sort of deva in the formless realm. Living for thousands of years with no suffering perhaps, but it is no enlightenment. Realizing emptiness and merging with it are not the same thing IMO, but I could be wrong. But I`m not reallly sure if we are talking about the same thing. To me merging with emptiness means my body would enter (dissolve) into emptiness, and what that means is what I said above. It is the danger of the emptiness meditation. That and being reborn in the formless realm. Or so I hear. So I`m not sure if I agree with you Rex. I am a bit confused on this topic.

Good point.

That`d be kind of hard, considering there`s over a billion of them, don`t you think?

If I`m not mistaken, John Chang isn`t Lei Shan Dao... "There`s no doubt the mysterious warrior was a Sith." "Hmm, always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice."

Ah, I think I get you now.

Secrecy is not wrong. In general it`s good not to talk much about your practice.

Who is B. Katie?

Doesn`t Elohim mean "those who came from the sky" or something like that? And what do Christian notions have to do with that? Old testament wasn`t written by Christians. And I`m not sure that the "god" of the old testament and the "god" of the new one are the same. Aliens....

Another theory is, that the reason it`s "our" is that there were many, and they were aliens... So they created us in their image....

Oh boy, you must be really old then. Are you one of those immortals I keep hearing about?

Funny. But disgusting. If I start thinking of this video the next time I see a beautiful woman, you`re gonna get it Rex!

You know, when you first registered with the title "Master Chunyi Lin" I thought for a moment that HE registered. I never studied with him, but I did watch one of his videos and read the manuals. I did practice it for a while, and I think it`s a very nice form.

Who is Abraham?

Great song. FMYctamYBVM&mode=related&search=

There is nothing to apologize for. If there were, I should also be apologising for not being perceptive enough. As for the ring.. You don`t "have" to do anything, so do what you want.

Renounciation is not exactly the only way. I was actually surprised you said this ZB since in another thread you said you practiced Tantric Buddhism, which is not a path of renounciation. Though of course it can apply it, and it`s not unimportant or something. Nice discussion BTW. I love to read your posts Ai Wei. (this even rhymes )

The realm you are thinking of is Deva or God realm. They are not enlightened. They do live a life free of suffering, only enjoying. They have long lives, even for thousands of years, but they don`t live forever. And when death comes, they suffer infinitely. Due to their clarity they know they will die a week before. A week of suffering. I remember something about their bodies begining to give out a certain scent, as well as becoming sick. They remain alone, since no other god can face that suffering, they don`t want to admit it will happen to them as well. When they die, the go to one of the three lower realms since they have spent all their positive karma, and have "pay" for the negative actions they did. That is of course, unless they meet the Teachings. But it is also said, that because they have an easy life, they do not care much for the Dharma. Which is why Human realm is said to be the best to achieve enlightenment. (Asura realm is kind of similar to Deva realm, only they suffer more I think) And BTW, while being in human realm, we can also be in one of the six realms.... Hmm, who is this Abraham you guys are talking about? (it`s been a long time since I`ve watched the secret)

LOL.. I don`t know how that got out of my fingers, maybe it was because it was a bit late and I was sleepy... What I meant was more like, what have you been up to Sean? You haven`t been posting as much as you usually did for some time now.

Are you lost?

What exactly is a cave lama?

Hey man, don`t leave just because of a few perhaps rude or something posts. And sometimes it`s hard to figure out whether people are being rude or not, because you don`t see them or hear them. Also, often you have to deal with rude people in real life, if folks on an internet forum get to you, what will happen in real life? See it as an opportunity, use it for training or something. Anyway, I hope you stay.
