I am now in a moment where I don't know what I am doing, I just keep doing it because it's the situation in this moment. But I am not thinking anymore (as much as before) on the future... sometimes I feel lost, sometimes blissful. But I try not to get attached to any thought or emotion as mine. I feel identified with your post @FirstglimpseOMG But not so identified just in case, to not cling to anything Lol...

Cool, thanks for sharing! I am still struggling about what to do... or what not to do... or if stay quiet... or move... Lol

Lol... I thought that if people were enlightened they would see the stupidity of doing wars and fights, etc... and that if we are all one, why fight and wars? I saw your video about Zen devils, but I still like don't get it. If they see through the illusion, why would they fight? But maybe I am off-topic with that comment.

... :-P

I think an actualized political outlook will be when all human race is awakened and no politics will be needed.

We have to "move" to our hearts.

Nice @FirstglimpseOMG thanks for sharing.

@Callum A That's very smart. That's what "I" am trying to do lately, "Know thyself". I am also trying to stop all desires. Even the desire for enlightenment.

Lol... Cool

How you do that and why? Isn't that judging?

Any word we use is wrong. I was reading a book from Marcus Aurelius of meditations and he says something very true: "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." We cannot say what truth is, so everyone chooses the best way, like you said @Elzhi . I also noticed that some people make more emphasis on the liberation side, but what Mc Kenna and Norquist say it's very true. The best thing is to find balance, and get prepared mentally and phisically to get a shock of reality hehehe... but I think we can do that. I am reading the Buddha Gospels, where you can see a lot of reasoning from Buddha about enlightenment, is very liberating. And he is obviously the most important voice in this particular theme hehehe... Jesus too, the only problem is the bad interpretation given to his teachings by the mainstream christian religion. But there's so many similar teachings on both "avatars" that is scary.

I would say the same as @aurum . You never know what would happen in the future, the best bet is to follow your heart, try to follow your instinct. Don't overthink too much. :-)

Eat the snakes and spiders while experiencing samadhi...

@Aware Interesting. Another thing I was reading about some time ago is that they are saying that the tilt shift of the earth that makes seasons, it's not so big. So they were theorizing that maybe it's not the inclination of the earth which creates the different seasons. I heard about it on a radio show, don't remember well which one.

And sometimes it looks curved in the inverse way... like concave

In the video, the border of the earth changes constantly. Sometimes you see it straight in some other times it looks curved.

I got you... I really didn't want to participate because I really don't know the arguments of the flat earth supporters. And it happened to me several times that I dismissed books to read because I considered them too crazy, and now I am reading them. Lol

I like the pear shape theory.

And what's your idea @Aware ? I must say that I have to investigate more the arguments of flat earth supporters.

The Buddhist advice is watch your thoughts but not to engage with them. You mostly become aware of everything, a car passing, people, sounds, etc... and thoughts, but like if the thoughts were like any other thing on reality. Thoughts are also part of reality, you don't have to engage in their meaning. Just observe as when you observe a tree and let them go. I am glad that you found a way to meditate more confortable.

@Aware I have a question, if the earth is really flat. Does it have an end? How does that works? I think that @WaveInTheOcean was talking about that the boat should fall on the edge, if it is plane it must end somewhere, and boats should fall on that edge. It has to be like a disk, right?

@WaveInTheOcean that was awesome from you! It's hard to do what you just did. Nice!!! I am also learning from all this thread. :-)
