Buddha had no ego because buddha, even more so than ego, was a constructed fiction. "Take possession of thy kingdom, cast the Pope into prison, and have Jesus, Buddha and Solway shot". -- free after Nietzsche's "insanity letter". Yes, a constructed fiction created by another con...

lets round up a posse and kill the bastard.

If the Buddha had pride or was proud of himself & his accomplishments , it would only serve his ego.
But being that he had no ego, there couldn't be any spiritual pride.

That sounds narcisstic/egotistical.
I don't think Enlightened Masters got off on reading their own shit.

You're sorry you even mentioned it now I suppose. LOL Dosn't really bother me one way or another. I'll try not to use ellipses so much. I do write as I think and speak. I do write "stream-of-consciousness" It will be a challenge for me. I guess I don't feel self conscious about how I write.

Why all the periods? Because I'm... fertile Bloody funny! Or too much trailing open-endedness. Female thinking....? Fe = Iron Ironmale thinking ? :) When talking....don't you pause ? This is the natural rhythm of my voice...when I type..it's how I talk....the "trailing off" is simply how ...

When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. F...

I think what Dennis is saying...is that Love is just Love. The nature of love is just love. Real love does not need to attach itself, smother another. It is free A free spirit only the ego needs to be loved and love (attachment/selfish) love is just love (free alone, non-attachment) if you truley lo...

I am just concerned. Yes, he is your husband, and you should be. I'm sure this is hard to talk about with friends and family ...thus you felt the need to come here . Not all here are qualified to give you advice...including myself. I am just a romantic, with a little bit of level-headedness. As far...

I never did see that movie Cahoot...but yes...poor poor thing... the tao that can be named.. is not the eternal tao... here comes the silence again.... the ineffable silence.... in·ef·fa·ble inˈefəbəl/Submit adjective adjective: ineffable 1. too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words...

What is silent ?

Yes...but there still remains something that exists, even when nothing inherently exists.

Some call it Brahman
Some call it God
Some call it Emptiness

To me it's all the same.

Concepts

Yes, the Ego wants eternity...so why is the Universe zillions of years old ?
Whatever this is or isn't, is eternally nothing or everything or both or neither.....

rehashing old script doesn't make a difference. there must be 30 trillion books around also scripted. Yeah, but doesn't it just go to show that things of this nature (truth) doesn't change ? You can say or write or feel and think what millions have before you...just because its all the same doesn't...

I don't know...I can't imagine what Kunyab is going through... I always dreamed of having an Enlightened yogi to be my husband... But when someone is that close to you in your household, I can imagine how hard it would be to see them as Enlightend, when you can see their faults...etc But in India it...

Dear Kunyab...

You feel your husband has drifted off into another reality.......maybe you could take a vacation to his world, and travel together for a while....
It may help you understand him more....and be more at peace ?

Kunga, Thanks for your words and the link to the story of Rumi. This is also what my husband keeps saying There is one eternal, simple truth: I AM. And because that is so, everything is because I AM. I AM God the Creator, everything else I am not, although I can be if I so choose. But I say you hav...

I read a little of your husbands blog....he seems to know what he's talking about !

Dear Kunyab.... Have you ever thought about having your husband teach you ? In the meantime...I read this story today for the first time about Rumi (I love his poetry), this story helps to understand why Rumi wrote as he did.....and why some are Enlightened..... Enjoy ! http://jamilahammad.com/rumia...

Get some paints..mix all the colors together..what do you get ?

Well...I'm still blown away by it all....especially when thinking about it.... Being aware and silent...there's a feeling of bliss... But when I think about bliss...maybe it's just my ignorance... But there is no wisdom without ignorance.... In this whirl of words... evaporating... clouds .... Pheno...

Pam... Thought cannot reach this state of truth, here feelings are of no avail. In this true world of Emptiness both self and other are no more. To enter this true empty world, immediately affirm "not-two." In this "not-two" all is the same, with nothing separate or outside. Xinx...
