Re: Enlightenment

you can read a brochure concerning a Ferrari. Study the specs diligently. etc... That is not the direct experience Ferrari.

Re: Enlightenment

You might notice playin' the 'suffering card' generates widespread approval.
Playin' the 'bliss card' is called a lie and insane.

Re: Enlightenment

If spirit is only objective, how do you explain our different views on subjectively? conceptualising mind. the only thing you dish up is causes/conditions affirming dependent arising. the logic is if it is dependently arisen it is vapour, smoke and mirrors, phantom-like, appearance, dreamscape.

Re: Enlightenment

There's a realization that they are not really separate. It's one experience, one action, one life. Whatever one might say or think about it! What remains is achieving clarity by removing the image of any mirror: removing notions of inherent difference between world, body and mind -- just like remo...

here we go again. what's been provided is causes/conditions which affirms dependent arising. what is dependently arisen doesn't exist from it's own side, under it's own steam, lacks inherent existence. it is empty of an own self. belief in inherent existence of phenomena is the cause of suffering. d...
