I think you can drop preferences, but still enjoy that which you once preferred. You simply aren't attached to it being there - so it's dropped, yet when it comes around, you enjoy the tasty treat.

You are developing equanimity by not trying to develop it. The work is done, and you do no work!

I hereby proclaim that Deci Belle is the One True Buddha.

I will def watch!

I love the wonderful flavor of labeling things - our minds are fucking super computers, and, when connected with the Taomind, become capable of great acts of beauty and creation. We are mini Tao-minds within ourselves, a reflection of the multi-verse....And we can also just relax and let Tao-mind do everything, which is fucking ecstatic as fuck! Y'all know wadda mean - hells yeah!

edit: with some crunchy bits still melting....my energy will melt into a light body someday, which will be like glowing electromagnetic/ionic oil of pure fluid anything being.

I am like glue, or molasses in the hands of the Tao...

Great point, and useful when you can't stay out of dualistic-hyper-predicating-mind-mode, although still better left behind in the long run. When you non-act through non-doing, you will not need to judge, for your actions will occur spontaneously according to the Tao. It helps though for survival until you can let it go and be merry with the Taomind.

yeah, but the demons will be you - there is no separate selves. I'm talking Tibetan Book of the Dead style. We can channel any personality through the unity-Tao-consciousness...they are all illusions. They are all the self. Realize their nature with the Dharma Eye open, not-doing, not-knowing. The illusion becomes apparent and eventually stops being projected onto reality.

birth is also a time of wonder and exploration...the Yang to the Yin of the scary place...wondrous and exciting, scary and perplexing.

booby-trapping us... our own minds are the jailers Self incarcerate

just one I think: "Hannibal" what's the other one?

That's funny, I was just visualizing cutting off my arm...something I saw done in The Swordsman II

I apologize for judging you. I shall not repeat this offense. EDIT: ...that is I will not do it here, but in my head I will continue to judge you until I am free of my own tendency to judge. Again my apologies!
-
I second that finding!
-
both true and false.... you see clearly on some level, but on the surface level you do not...Your Buddha self is in the background. So you are already that Buddha, but your mind is in the way is all. Once your mind stops projecting things onto the scene and in front of your true eye, then you will be that. So you have something to be upset about when I say this, yet at the same time you do not! It's all good clean fun in any event.

Wrong....sorry to tell you, but judging at all is simply the mind labeling things as 'this' or 'that,' when in all actuality, you don't know whether that thing you are labeling is a this or that in the first place since you are not that thing which you think you know. Example: I think I know you (let's pretend, for I do not know you)...I label you as such and such from tiny bits of perceived information...this is like you went to NY city once and you saying you know NY city, which you don't. This error of conceptual vs. actual knowing is illustrated by the false understanding of this phrase, which I believe Deepak Chopra co-originated... "The whole banquet is in the first bite." An incorrect view of this quote would be as such: This means that you assume, upon tasting a bite of the delicious banquet, that you have tasted all that you need to in order to determine the quality and isness of the banquet. - just because you taste a plum doesn't mean you know what the fish tastes like. An enlightened being, however, does have the power to know the whole of a thing with one bite, because they see clearly...you have a dirty mirror, so your vision is clouded...

Buddhamind=Kundalini=Djinn=Spirits=Taomind=All-Mind=One-Mind=Hell-mind=Demon-Mind Good point. My thanks.

This is very good - I agree that the Buddha created various systems within his systems, trying to have as many available options as possible for students to find the right way in regards to their instrinsically motivated predilections. The various enlightened sages which followed opened up even more pathways. Buddhism is a beautiful land of possibilities. I especially dig the crazy wisdom paths and Vajrayana...I still feel attraction to crazy-wisdom and Vajrayana paths, and so if I so choose I may venture down these ways, but I might store potential for later instead...
-
yep! The schools co-taught each other.. But as far as who was enlightened first, I don't know, nor do I care...I try my best not to look backwards, only here now, with occasional forward planning when necessary.

Complete Reality School. Deci Belle is my Alma Mater

we have bunches in common! truckloads...

So you think, but if you wish to know about me instead of assuming you know about me, feel free to read certain threads which contain my biographies... I understand if some of you who are Buddhists are upset, and I shall explain. I have had bad experiences with Zendos on East and West coasts...the problem is that they are not accepting of me, due to my inclinations to use entheogens, and my inclinations to question their systems. It is simply not for me. I am actually coming to the understanding that I am basically inclined to be a Taoist. However, one should eventually stop trying to group oneself into any particular way or path if one intends to eventually be a master of the pathless path. Taoism is most in line with this...it is this in fact, yet it is not at the same time. I humbly apologize for my judgments on Buddhism. All ways lead to freedom when openly expressed. Each to their inclinations so shall it be done. I shall try to proselytize no more. So shall it be done that I will one day be free of proselytizing and judging good or bad, better or worse, unhappy, or happy, fit or unfit, useful or non-useful, etc.

Judging is certainly an illness of the mind, which co-originates as a protective mechanism as has been stated. The core of the issue might be, how can we stop judging, and that is basically, how can we stop labeling, and basically the answer is obviously, mental cultivation. Stupid thread! Sorry.. lol
