That would be your projection. Indeed, the mind is sneaky.

@Ether Does it matter?

@Edvard Have an awakening first, then let's talk.

Death is right here. You're it.

I like the one where some disgruntled villager who hated the Buddha sent an angry elephant charging at him. As the elephant was about to strample him, the Buddha gently held up his hand and the elephant bowed. Always brings a tear to my eye.

Of course

I am thinking of publishing it tomorrow. Maybe. It's uploading right now.

Of course, pragmatism is the last refuge of a stubborn and closedminded materialist. The whole point of ego is pragmatism: self-survival. It knows nothing else.

Lol That's like saying, "Prayer works for me, that's all I care about." Oh... orthodox scientists... sigh...

In other words, find your passion

Here it is: Be sure to watch Part 2 (when it comes out), that's where all the really juicy stuff is.

I doubt he saw that much truth. His journey was only beginning. Imagine if the Buddha had eaten some poison berries 2 years into his journey. That's what happened with Chris. It was a noble effort, but poorly executed, and execution matters.

Actually, I really should. Because the hardest part of shooting a video is the standing still for 90 minutes.

Almost done uploading Part 1. If I didn't split it up, it would take several days just to upload a 50gb file.

@Hermes Trismegistus The only way to know what death is, is to die. By which I mean, become enlightened. Psychedelics can show you this in 60 minutes. Or you can sit on the cushion for 10 years.

@Viking I wouldn't waste my time with it. It's too arcane and needlessly complicated. Your time would be much better spent just doing a 60 min yoga or meditation practice.

Kaballah isn't a book, it's an esoteric numerological methodology for interpreting the Torah and other Jewish texts in a mystical light.

The problem with ritual, is that it tends to become mindless, which is the opposite of mindfulness. If ritual alone produced enlightened, half the world would be enlightened. What's required is consciousness, which is much harder.

Good stuff

Learn to discipline yourself and stick with projects. Without that skill, you're basically fucked in life. But also, only start projects which are highly meaningful to you.

This video turned out be 3hrs 40mins long. Lol Guess I'll have to cut it into 2 parts.

A superposition of both

@How to be wise According to someone, everyone is wrong.

Nice!
