GENIUS FORUMS

The infinite is the interplay, the all, the totality, everything, including ourselves. There is nothing outside of this.

As Nagarjuna implies nothing ever becomes any particular thing therefore there is no thing to cease.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. To realize humanity is one, is only part of the equation. The ego is easily convinced it somehow belongs in a land far far away, where blood, shit and tears no longer exist.

The totality has no center, no edges, no size even; for it is beyond measure, beyond limits.

Experience mis-interpreted causes denial or the desire to escape.

Beyond consciousness of form does not negate form, nor negate consciousness, its simply not being taken in by the mirage of separation.

"You" as caused Intent or Tendency of "Universe" also continues when your consciousness of form is ended Consciousness of form is ended by simply not being taken in by the illusion(that things inherently exist) of form. Consciousness of Form is consciousness still deluded by app...

I knew someone would respond this way, but this is like saying the fly caused the yak, which is clearly not true. It appears as if the fly is the center of the universe simply because that is it's point of awareness, but it's not the actual center. Freeing yourself from all appearances of mind, then...

LOL whats wrong with any of those behaviors? Laozi dead, dust to dust, Universe continues Buddha dead, dust to dust, Universe continues Jesus dead, dust to dust, Universe continues Cathy will be dead, dust to dust, Universe continues Do you notice a pattern here? Like a fly on the ass of a yak I am ...

Ultimately behavior would be fluid and adaptive changing to accommodate changes in the environment and changing to cause change as more is learned about reality when studied as a whole, free of unconscious desires, the word natural may not even exist because un-natural as Supermegaultragenius pointe...

Clearly I disagree. If you want to put all your eggs into the basket of death go ahead, but I don't understand why you would choose to put off what can be achieved here and now. I mean you simply have to drop the belief that death is some kind of fix, why is it necessary to drag around, if it's true...

Just because something is natural it doesn't follow that it's desirable. Such judgements always arise in a value context. If one values truth (and therefore devalues delusion) the ego becomes undesirable because it arises from a place of false ideas about the self. I guess we're back to perspective...

If you simply want to be happy, but your mind won't let you ignore the insanity in the world, then you have the potential to become enlightened, if you have the potential to become enlightened then it's your destiny.

Cathy, From the Maha-parinibbana Sutta: Last Days of the Buddha, posted by you: No movement of breath, but with steadfast heart, Free from desires and tranquil — so the sage Comes to his end. By mortal pangs unshaken, His mind, like a flame extinguished, finds release. This sutta makes no sense whe...

Transformation does not happen in a vacuum. Empathizing with perfection is the transformation, but can you honestly say that awareness of perfection does not also include an awareness of imperfection? Yes. There are no imperfections only deluded minds. I cannot say what the Buddha was experiencing ...

what are the delusions of ego? its not wrong or suffering to have the experience of ego or separate self. the cause of suffering is the belief that ego is its 'own being' when the truth is its dependently arisen. is that your point? Not wrong just a mis-perception of reality, which causes suffering...

there's no entity in control. This is it. Which is why the end of suffering in the world occurs one individual at a time. By imagining suffering is caused by anything other than the delusions of ego one can go on playing the game of god and attempt to change the World meanwhile ignoring the actual ...

# The Noble path is a method to end suffering so no I don't see it as relating to the appearance of a noble cause that includes suffering for the sake of suffering. If Buddha was still suffering how could he see a method to end it? To empathize with someone's suffering merely reinforces suffering, t...

evoke a piece of brocade, embroidered silk material of gold or silver. this material presents 2 faces, its right side and reverse side, which are totally different it symbolises manifestation presenting its right side to God and and its reverse side to mankind. Its right side is splendour and the r...

Without intent of life, delusion obscures truth. ;) Ok tell me exactly what your intent of life is please. That body of yours will surely be dust someday. And yet you continue to feed it. Why? The intent of life. Your eyes that read will turn to dust in time. And yet, you read. Why? Go on, say it. ...

that reads like an advertising brochure and as an input into a curriculum of education for realising emptiness is useless. distinctions are necessary. that's why 2 truths are distinguished. in that way nihilism is avoided and essentialism is avoided. If enlightenment is caused and we need to distin...

Religions thingify primordial essence into a personality with a purpose and fight unnecessarily over the rightness or wrongness of each others thingy, like a pissing contest. Yes religions clearly have intent, that intent is used by man to moderate himself (ego) is clear, to live naturally is to li...

Cahoot virtuous desire is the desire for truth, once the truth is realized (I am nothing) desire ends. With the intent of life, the desire for truth exists within the context of compassion and ahimsa. All that is needed is a clear mind unclouded by the delusions of ego. Until you realize that suffe...

Buddhism doesn't believe in a God or outside superpower overlooking proceedings which is generated by the the idea of the Absolute. ight It's easy to see phenomena is empty, God requires a leap of faith or inference. for Dignaga and Dharmakirti to claim emptiness to be insufficient and for them to ...

The ego would rather annihilate the world, rather than itself.

# If you suffer you have desire, simple as that. You have desire to end all suffering, which traps you in suffering. How can you speak of transformation when transformation hasn't occurred. Form = consciousness so what you desire is annihilation. The same thing that drives a drug addict drives you, ...

Either you're still suffering or you're not.
