That's not enough.
Think of the market.
I want the book and the movie.

The market? As if such things were ever written for money. You are a very pessimistic person.

Re: Earth is Paradise
I never said money.
You said money in your introduction when you raised the possibility of making a few bucks because you said everyone's doing it.
try and be consistent.
For whom is the performance?

Re: Earth is Paradise
Do you use money Dennis?
Did it again, I said it could be done for whatever people wanted and the only thing you know I was going to talk about was enlightenment.
You keep acting like there are rules for what you should do in this dream.
For whom is the performance when you write whatever it is you have ever written?
How long do I have to put up with your resentful attitude?

Re: Earth is Paradise
In order to attain liberation,
the Buddha taught, one must disassociate
oneself from volitional action.
This is done, not by refraining from
volitional action, which would not be possible, but by refraining from
believing that there is a real self which does real acts.

Re: Earth is Paradise
The possibility of making a few bucks would have been a different group helping topic to the writing one wouldn't it? lol your talking about nothing again here.
Yes, it is a grand showing and illusion. All too aware of it, it is our nature too, completely empty, I look in the mirror and know it is not really me, how fucking incredible a dream this is. There is intelligence clearly in what the mind displays. The fact that we have it ourselves shows there is intelligence within its scope. What happened to not losing one's "humanity"? Whatever that is.
The Buddha was about complete extinction from the cycle of life and death, shouldn't that be our goal, complete detachment, ending sensual craving. This is apparently not so bad in one life or another, but as a continual cycle is great suffering, to me it seems one has to die to achieve this, pretty ironic. Not really sure about this, clearly as I've never not returned.
You are God. The nature of existence is dreaming, the universe exists only in the mind. Having belief in knowledge and not recognizing it for what it is, not real, is what leads people to think of more and try to explain it. (unreal explanations). "Know nothing" means "Know no thing". Don't eat from the tree of knowledge, or you will be kicked out of paradise.
You can act smart but the truth is you are exactly the same as you have always been, children of the mother, your intelligence has never increased, you have never aged or changed. Some feelings have changed, that's it.
People seem to have a lot of knowledge about these mysterious unexplainable feelings changing.
If we look just a little closer at this sensation we will see what it is made of.
Not that you created and designed anything, just that this is all within you, simply what you are.

Re: Earth is Paradise
If people point out contradictions in your story it's not because they are resentful it's because there are contradictions in your story.The possibility of making a few bucks would have been a different group helping topic to the writing one wouldn't it? lol your talking about nothing again here.
If the Buddha's simple observation of impermanence is enrolled in,
then lack of an intrinsic self is a logical consequence to enrol in.
We have to be careful what we infer as a result of that.

lol, being resentful means you are being resentful, you are contending your little heart out. See what I mean by we are all children? You are 62 and your still lying to yourself. I could find 20 comments that contain nothing but a short sarcastic insult in the last three threads.

"Living off the welfare and your brothers kindness"
Usually to teach someone they are being an idiot you just repeat the same thing to them:
Wearing a nappy yet Dennis?
^This is called childlike contention and ignorance. I would have to do a hundred of these to catch up to you.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Geez John,
this listening/language base sure has its difficulties.
a breakdown or upset arises out of an undelivered communication.
it can be the authorship or the readership.
perhaps it's my readership.
can you see why I could contend there appears to be contradictions in your statements?
where there's a breakdown there's a possibility for breakthru'.
what are we gonna play for?

He is an idiot. Idiots follow people around looking to insult them or point out their grammar flaws. Wise people let those people know they are being idiots, it wasn't sarcastic.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Whoever will point out flaws should be considered as a teacher... feel free to call me an idiot when I'm following you around speaking like this:
Dennis makes some sarcastic comment about my age or perceived personal attriubutes while directing it in conversation to someone else. Including made up fantasies like welfare.
I reply:
"Dennis is a dear one, so old and frail, his mind doesn't seem to be too strong any more, how long till his heart gives out I wonder?"
^This would be me creating contention and being ignorant. Its as close as I can get to a reverse of what you do. I would have to do this 99 more times to catch up to you.

In post mortem,
sifting the ashes,
exposing the soft underbelly,
where it rankles,
The 'welfare and brother's kindness' was a stinger.
Money is a 'hot potato'.

No, just a good example of how you are making things up in some kind of game.
So, if you were in the middle of a dream, how would you act? What would you do?

Re: Earth is Paradise
It renders the situation intelligible.
It's what seeker told us.
There's nothing right or wrong going on here.
Philosophy is of the subjective experience and the sharing of the subjective experience generates the recognition of commonality of experience.
Wrangle with a human being hard enough and long enough and he/she will tell you their 'resolute way of being' or 'act' in the form of a metaphor or myth or story of selfing.
The selfing is the persistent point of view or winning formula.
Being (spirit) is no thing, ex nihilo, empty set.
The recognition of that is not a mystery.
The mystery is the covering up of being as the Greeks revealed in the 'wearing of masks/personas' expose.
'all the world's a stage and we are the players upon it' isn't some kind of an insight that is meant to fill us with shame,
rather,
it opens up the being of human being.
