So you're back to death as the only peace. You have some kind of a god complex, imagining your sacrifice will end the suffering of all beings. Your desire is your own undoing. dhammapada-347 Those who are lust-infatuated fall back into the swirling current (of samsara) like a spider on its self-spun...

Yes, I do know what is going on in the mind of the wolf by relatedness of being sentient. To deny relatedness of sentience, to me, is more insane than is denying that reasoning can purify the mind of emotionalism. It is no different that the relatedness I experienced with my son or daughter when th...

And who or what caused ignorance? The nature of consciousness causes confusion, through this mis-perception the ego is born, nurtured and taken for real.

The ego believes in and creates reincarnation. Distinguishes between life and death, consciousness and super-consciousness, beyond ego these distinctions disappear. There is either something or nothing, when there's nothing time doesn't exist, when there's something it's impermanent. Suppose the ear...

Dennis, jupiviv, I find that most human beings are surface dwellers in their exploration of when suffering was imputed and because of this surface dwelling, have become human-centred in their division of suffering's end. In my experience, most human's restrict their understanding of suffering to th...

Tell a wolf ["God's" projection of matter] whose leg is broken and who starves as a result of the broken leg that all it needs is love or a dream or reason and suffering will be no more. Tell a female lion whose screaming cub has been dragged off by a hyena to be eaten alive that all she ...

These things no longer make me suffer.

A relationship with God is suffering, the end of suffering is the end of the relationship. It takes two to have a relationship.

Cathy, Who is the royal "we" you speak of? Do you eat? Would you come to the aid of a child being molested by a sexual predator? Would you please include in your post your address and phone number so that I can send it over to sexual predator.com , or to looking for juicy females.com ? 1....

$ You can conceive of a thing that exists outside reality in theory only, for as soon as the conception arises it (the idea) is part of reality. What is your definition of thing?

but the question still remains. it's open. we don't know. You mean; most do not know. It is truly open - it is beyond conceptualization but it can be experienced.
