  1. I know this isn't your idea or the way that you think, but the hypothetical "scientific" explanation you've given is not clear or coherent. It's tough to answer since the claim being made is unclear.
  2. Lead by example!
  3. Lol you misunderstand Leo and then mock that very same misunderstanding as though it were not you who came up with it. That's pretty funny too!
  4. I'm not sure what to make of this...
  5. I don't know if that's a fair interpretation of the average modern zen master (in Japan). I went to visit some temples this summer and was struck by how cheery many of the masters were.
  6. Perhaps because "this stuff" is not meant to be explained. We all try though haha.
  7. You speak as though God is a "thing" which can "do vibrating." God is no-thing. How does no-thing "vibrate?"
  8. Be careful! Enlightenment isn't about how often you have negative thoughts. It's about Truth and Reality. What is Real? What is True? That is all that enlightenment will reveal
  9. Surely, then, you don't think you've reached the end?
  10. Admit it: you want to do it, but you also know that you shouldn't. You're distracting yourself with the opinions of others. Deep down you know what to do
  11. Yes and No at the same time. It also depends on what level of depth you ask the question. The answer must be highly nuanced and paradoxical. It must. You are asking about the very building blocks of sentience, individuality, and (unbeknownst to you) consciousness. Were you really expecting a solid, definitive "YES" or "NO?"
  12. Some of you guys can't be saved. It's sort of sad seeing everyone trying so hard to help. It's in our nature, I suppose. Spirituality is not for you if you cannot even experience standard happiness levels on a consistent basis. Don't bother with nonduality if you hate life. This should be obvious.
  13. Interesting experience! When you start trying to backwards-rationalize it with science, it's crossing into mental masturbation territory though.
  14. What an attitude!
  15. 1) Precisely what do you mean by "words are truth?" 2) You can't assume that. Maybe "correct" and "pseudo-correct" are both incorrect. 3) Well then why so serious?
  16. @Nahm Since when do you give out Skype calls?
  17. If you actually grasp what language IS, you cannot take seriously the notion of symbolic communication anymore. It's utterly groundless and circular. There's nothing of substance to be found within symbols. Wispy. Of course, that shouldn't deter you from engaging with symbols. There are many fun and creative uses of them, and furthermore they aid survival tremendously (which is always a cute bonus). The question is: how serious are you? If you really get it, you would be able to laugh off any attempt to dismantle your symbols.
