Oh, perhaps it’s simply a coincidence however in the last 24 hours the same phrase (more or less) “you die twice” came to “my” attention but in completely different contexts yet who is it that really “dies” eh ? For the first it was during a discussion where each of us shared their experience of ...

On the Liberation FROM “self” 3

Apr

2022

Ah, now, I suppose conventionally speaking “you” may have come across Spirituality / Buddhism / Dzogchen / Zen as a means of dispelling whatever it is that ails “you” or perhaps of becoming “Enlightened” eh ? 🧐 Indeed, it’s possible “you” have already glimpsed-your-true-nature and are seeking a deeper “understanding” of what “that” was eh ...

Ah, what follows below, is I’d say, some absolute gold-standard material concerning the Nature of Mind eh ? 🌟 A teaching on the nature of mind by the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche on The Hundred Verses of Advice by Padampa Sangye [1] The great pandit Shantarakshita, who was instrumental in transplanting Buddhism from India to ...

A Nondual Experiment 6

Aug

2021

Ah, I have created this new post as a result of some Contemplative practice that began after a suggestion from Jackson Peterson concerning the nature of the Mind’s capacity at paying Attention … As in HOW it is possible to apparently induce a sudden cessation of the selfing-process (aka the egoic-self aka simply the “I”) ...

Nov

2019

ANALOGIES THAT ILLUSTRATE SAMSARA Six analogies illustrate the nature of Samsara : Like someone who appears in a magical illusion, none of samsara has true existence. Moreover, like myriad dream images, your perceptions are based on confusion. Like the moon’s reflection in water, nothing that manifests has an independent nature. Like clouds, pleasure and pain, ...

Um, perhaps nowadays with our nervous systems potentially in a state of continuous arousal due to 24/7 online consumption, I suppose "life" in the absence of such stimulation may seem quite boring & dull eh ? #WhoFeelsTriggered #SuggestiveImagery #ItsSubconscious 😉 ❤️ 🙏

Ah, now, all it takes is to switch on the TV or pick up your smartphone & within seconds it's likely you'll feel "triggered" eh ? But what are such sensations & Who is Aware of all of them eh ? Must you react blindly as if there's no other "choice" possible eh ? #WhoAreYou 🧐 🙏

Ah, now, I'd say such a sentiment as pictured is no longer realistically viable eh ? Yet, I contend, what is possible is one's own Heart-Centered Peace wherein you sort of "Hold the World in a Loving Embrace" after discarding petty selfish egoistic desires eh ? #ItsAnInnerFreedom
