[Paul]

Distraction from?

 

Nature

Nature

 

That is a very broad generalization. The natural world? Are you implying that humans are not part of nature?

One self nature

Very broad again and evasive. Please explain what you mean.

Example

A crystal

[goldisheavy]

To affirm an existent entity whether personal or transpersonal, in whatever form.

 

For example; Judeo-Christian theology which posits an independent, eternal soul... that is an essentialist view.

 

Or, Advaita and Samkhya yogas which posit the purusha [brahman] as is an unconditioned, independently existent, transpersonal field of consciousness... that is an essentialist view.

Obviously, coming from Buddha Śākyamuni this is not an eternalist statement, but is merely pointing to one's nature as profound emptiness.

Are you implying that there is also an emptiness that is not so profound?

I am not sure if anyone here figured it out, but Sheboar was Paul with a new account he created after being suspended.

 

The accounts are merged and banned.

 

This is the end
