  1. Nice, I will try it! What software did you use to code it and what language? Very interesting!
  2. Totally agree with that. I think he didn't want to manage the community but he loved the attention from the Sannyasis...
  3. @Leo Gura I forgot about Mu. I remember being in the Zen reddit once and someone answer me "Mu". I thought they were kidding, then I find out about Mu reading Zen books hahaha... I was a noob!
  4. She is 11, and now I think influenced for the guys that do Aikido is reading the Dhammapada hehehe... she wrote something about it, I will post it later.
  5. Lol!!!! It's a mix with Abracadaniel (my real name is Daniel) from Adventure Time and mouse because of the book "who moved my cheese". I always talked about that book and someone said I should be a mouse, then someone wrote my nick name in a chat mowse, and finally I changed the k instead the c and that's the story Lol... You can call me Daniel hehehehe...
  6. Knowledge is coming to me in the right moments. I went to my daughter Aikido class, they have a lot of books and I found one from J. Krishnamurti full of transcripts of his talks about Fear. Really enlightening.
  7. @Faceless Cool. I have to meditate on that and pay constant attention to what IS.
  8. @Faceless Tries to keep control through Fear, fear needs to be accepted or seen, observed as what IS.
  9. I found out that this is what scares us (or our ego) to lose. If we lose that "perspective" the mind goes crazy in the sense that it has nothing to grasp "reality". It's a shock for the ego. That's why I think a slow path to assimilate the new concepts that will substitute old ones is necessary sometimes. for a sudden enlightenment the person needs to live experiences that open him to that more truth and shocking reality. It's like jumping to a vacuum, or to the unknown. But I may be wrong.
  10. @sarapr I agree. I wish more scientist understood his point of view.
  11. Last quote about Niels Bohr, promised. Maybe I open a separated thread about it.
  12. I am fascinated with Niels Bohr, a scientist saying things like that. Of course, now they are disregarded by the science community because it was a long time ago, for sure...
  13. The guys who worked on Quantum physics are more rationalist than the so called "rationalists", like Niels Bohr.
  14. They "think" they are "rational". They go to certain point and they stop, they don't go beyond concepts and thoughts. Because they think that they are separate entities who "think", that the thoughts are "their thoughts". They have attachment to ideas, and anything that is outside their "rational" thinking can't be explained, so they will never go beyond that.
  15. You are not wrong. Rationalist have beliefs but they don't accept that is a belief. They think that there is an "objective reality". They are members of the Rationalist Church Sect hehehehe...
  16. I don't mind how people call it. I like to call it God. But there's other names I like, Brahman is nice too. Infinity. I AM that I AM. The I. The Self. Void. I also like the names the Jewish used to call "it" like Elohim, Jehova or Yaveh, Adonai, YHWH. Allah is good too. In reality I don't mind the way we call "The Absolute" because any name or concept can not encapsulate IT, or What IS.
  17. @Faceless Ok, cool. I remember finding a Zen book online. I don't remember exactly the name hehehe... but what I really remember very clearly is that the book said that someone asked a Zen master about what is Zen and the master answered, Zen is attention, attention and more attention. Lol
  18. Ok, let's dig... I am observing the mind more and more, not trying to stop it but just observing it and de-identifying of that guy who is doing things but in reality is doing nothing. I found out that when doing this, the mind gets more crazy, like if it was fighting for its survival. In those moments is more difficult for me to de-identify and observe. I get trapped in the story. But, as soon as I notice that, I just become the observer again.
