Re: Earth is Paradise
Have a look at the 10 Oxherding pictures please John and let me know your take on it.
there's different readers reading and commenting.
reading is always/already for human being an 'ink blot test'.
you'll 'read' what is 'read' from your 'readership'.
language gets taught and 'readership' doesn't.
find a 'luminous' reading that feels like mojo to your readership.
if there's no luminous one forget it.

Re: Earth is Paradise
10/10
Although they don't go in that exact order, least not for me.
If you get them all why did you originally try to dispute what I was saying? Did you think I was contradicting "no thing" in my mind simply because it was by written word? "Dream" is good.
I personally think you convey "no thing" much, much too obscurely, no one is going to come to realization by you telling them about dependent origination by itself.
But I guess no one is going to come to it my way either.
Not our fault. One in a million. Baby.
*take a look at the "projection nature" of the earth and it's many manifestations in your mind for a moment...

dependent origination means 'harmonious relations'.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Fruit is falling from the trees, some are ripe while others aren't and yet they fell. Interested passersby will pick up the ripe ones and discard the prematures. Now how would one ever know that the time was ripe? Just because it fell?

Take a bite.
You can tell what's ripe if it's flavor is right.

They do go in the order depicted.Although they don't go in that exact order, least not for me.
Firstly, Spiritual life is desired before they come in to play.
Most people don't want that. they just want an 'edge'.
You said 'harmonious relations' was your issue.
Do that.
make it a strong suit.
They exist 'in concert'.
No separation.
departure, journey,arrival.
the profound logic of the symphony.
10 part movement.
looking at it as a whole.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Tomas, one of the only people that's sure he hasn't been eating from the tree of knowledge, are you sure? Is earth paradise?
lol Diebert it isn't the apples it's the people, they are full and need to be emptied before they even consider taking a bite.
I have no issues, other people have issues, and I'm simply in the way, circumstance, so I attempt to try and lessen issues for everyone's calming benefit, either way for me it's still the same, there is no departure and arrival, only the journey.
Laird is on the first picture! That's why he doesn't bite.
And they didn't go in the order depicted, the first thing that ever happened to me out of these pictures was "The illusion of reality being separate from the mind was shattered", Batman: The Dark Knight of the Souls occurred before I ever new what I was doing, it hit me both with pure "dread"/fear and excitement without even knowing what enlightenment was really about.

Hi John,
What do you think of the philosophy clearly expressed in the following video? What's the flaw?
Take it!

That it's not a philosophy, plus our way of life is a product of nature in the same way.
So, purposefully obscure and vague on their own opinions which is a sign of your intelligence guy, how have you been? Has your break from GF trolling been beneficial for you?

It said something about how we've abandoned the natural way, I think it's an absurd claim to say nature has abandoned it's own way.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Of course it's absurd to say Nature has, but what about nature? Isn't that what all this Enlightenment business of eliminating the ego is about? U.G. Krishnamurti made a big fuss about calling it "the natural state".SeekerOfWisdom wrote:It said something about how we've abandoned the natural way, I think it's an absurd claim to say nature has abandoned it's own way.

Re: Earth is Paradise
That is in reference to the enlightened state of consciousness, or "empty mind", now he isn't being precise because both are products of our nature, but what they mean really is that when the mind isn't caught in delusion/suffering, (born of attachment, desire, and identification with Self and thoughts) it is in the *No false knowledge and ignorant actions* state, (ignorant actions being ones that cause suffering) and this is a wiser way of being and hence it seems more natural to them. Technically all of our nature is natural.

Re: Earth is Paradise
Yes, he made a fuss about renaming it "the natural state" because often seekers mistake Enlightenment with a multitude of transitory enlightening experiences.SeekerOfWisdom wrote:now he isn't being precise because both are products of our nature
Was this man's action ignorant?(ignorant actions being ones that cause suffering)
Yes, this is why it's absurd to say that Nature has abandoned its own way.Technically all of our nature is natural.
