Re: Help deciding what, if anything, to do with my life.
Just sleep, eat, piss, shit. There's nothing else in life that has to be done. Don't get involved with other things: They're not the point. Keep a low profile, Sleep. In the triple universe When you're lower than your company You should take the low seat. Should you happen to be the superior one, Do...

Re: What do you think the ego is?
What I am struggling with is what its real/natural function is, does it die as part of enlightenment and what the hell is it. I think as long as we are in this form as a human, a individual, a person that has an identity, you will always have an ego, although there are various degrees of attachment...

Re: What do you think the ego is?
The ego is thoughts.
The ego is thinking.
The ego is logic.
The ego is a survival mechanism of the conditioned human .
Ultimately, the ego does not exist.
It's a conceptual thought.
Thoughts are impermanent.
Only what is not impermanent exists.
It's thoughtless & egoless.

Re: Mystical consciousness first...
my understanding of attachment is not one of the equality of emotions, detachment for me is the ending of emotions Emotions are emotions. They are equally emotional. One suffers in love equally as one suffers in hatred. Attachment is grasping, craving, desiring. Evolving from the emotional human to...

Re: Mystical consciousness first...
Since attachment is the root cause, then logically/intuitively, detachment is the way. Well, actually you don't go from one extreme to the other to end suffering (attachment/detachment, love/hate, etc. ). You eventually become immune to extremes. Logic is not in the realm of intuition. One can beco...

Re: The cow Te ching
Love the humour :) I think part of the problem is, when one thinks conventionally and then realizes the ultimate. Conventionally there are sound waves , but ultimately there is no one to hear it. And yes, Cahoot, it does make sense that if sound waves are produced, to have a receptor is nessesarry t...

Ok, how is it that I can hear myself talking in my head, when there are no sound waves being produced ?
Also can hear whatever song/music I desire, without soundwaves ....
I can even make the sound of a tree falling in a forest ...

Also, a recording device doesn't have ears or sense perceptions, but it will record sound and visuals. I think though that everything is sentient, even if it isn't what we would call biological life. Atoms make up everything material, all things are a living energy whether it's animal or machine. Th...
