Thought Art

I want to write out my other interpretations but not today or tomorrow

Just build flying walls for the planes? Duh

Not sure the artist

I remember in high school my English teacher told the class to draw what they thought God looked like, or to draw God. I spent a lot of time stressing about it. I’m the end I didn’t hand anything in…

Infinite Yes

No

@Davino thank you ? Seems hard time find in my country

I went with the remarkable cuz it has like 100,000 pages. No need for library of physical books. Can organize it all in the tablet.

Ego includes the concept you have for yourself. Which, is also part of your survival. Ego is more than just your self image, but how to relate to the world in terms of your survival needs. For example, you are loving to your wife, make her breakfast. bur then while driving to work someone cuts you off so you flip them the bird and curse. Ego is what gets you to prefer living over dying, eating over not eating, taking care of your life or not. An ego can be healthy or unhealthy, highly developed or not very developed, an ego can operate at higher levels of energy or consciousness or lower ones. An ego can be wise, open and loving. Or foolish, closed and hateful. Does a selfless person have no ego? Well, maybe in theory. But this person still has preferences. Does a liberated human have no ego? Does an enlightened person have 0% ego? NO! Not one of your spiritual teachers has 0% ego. Why? They are Buddhist, or Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim, or hindu, or are a non-dualist or whatever system or set of practices, insights, realizations, schools, epistemological background etc formed them into the finite little spiritual guru they are. It’s Ego and mind games. I think I could argue that plants have biological ego, as do animals. As do humans. Because, the cellular memory prefers to be one way and not another. To survive in this way, and not that way. These biases to me, are ego. There is probably even metaphysical and existential ego to. To dream being a human in this finite domain vs some other domain that could be sprung from the endless creativity and potentiality of the infinite universal mind.

@Moksha The point I’m making is more that the word ego, and how one defines and relates to the word and their unstanding of it is widely varied, nebulous, complex, full of bullshit, and little understood by any particular type of epistemology as they all tend to be biased, partial and incomplete. Though, often they are complimentary when stitched into a larger tapestry.

@Moksha it is impossible. I’ve read many uses of the word ego. It gets used in many ways. David Richo, Sheldon Kopp, Vernon Howard, Leo Gura etc… my own experiences and contemplations. I think the gurus you share are wrong, they have a partial perspective on ego. They themselves have ego, and your clinging to them as what ego is is ego. Ego is bad, it’s essentially survival. Ego is survival. That’s all. Not bad, not good. Ego as a concept or concepts can be looked at through many lenses and perspectives.

@Moksha flimsy

Ego includes and transcends your idea of yourself. Ego includes personality, habits, thoughts, traumas, previous life experience, transference, genetics, self image, stories you tell yourself, the mood you are in at the moment etc. Ego is both static and dynamic. It’s hard to pin down.

@Moksha ego is deeper than identity

Dogs love that

Interpretations (will be built over the week) 1. The boy stood up and asked like 3 times if he could Hug the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama was surprised but said yes once it was translated to him. The room is full of a bunch of people. The boy goes up and hugs the Lama. They hug and kiss. The room laughs and claps. It's all rather platonic but loving. Like a parent kissing their child they share moment of platonic affection. The Dali Lama was playing the room, trying to get people to laugh, smile and feel the love. The boy was smiling. The Buddha wanted to say "Eat my tongue" jokingly but said "suck my tongue' through poor translation. They touched heads and stuck their tongues out at each-other. both their chins tucked into their necks, foreheads forward. This is filmed during a live event a month ago. 3 months later someone re-uploads the clip with no context and it gets spread around the world as an outrage.

Ego is a useful concept but its meaning is nebulous.

If the Dali Lama did that to you you would be uncomfortable and probably upset. Even as someone older it’s still weird if the Dali Lama asks you to suck his tongue? Like what? So strange. My mind is still ambiguous about what I think about it. For those of you who also are working on understanding how your mind interprets reality this should be fun. Next post I will list 10 possible interpretations of this situation.

We're playin' those mind games together Pushin' the barriers, plantin' seeds Playin' the mind guerrilla Chantin' the mantra, peace on earth We all been playin' those mind games forever Some kinda druid dude liftin' the veil Doin' the mind guerrilla Some call it magic, the search for the grail Love is the answer And you know that for sure Love is a flower You gotta let it, you gotta let it grow So keep on playin' those mind games together Faith in the future, outta the now You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind Yeah, we're playin' those mind games forever Projectin' our images in space and in time Yes is the answer And you know that for sure Yes is surrender You gotta let it, you gotta let it go So keep on playin' those mind games together Doin' the ritual dance in the sun Millions of mind guerrillas Puttin' their soul power to the karmic wheel Keep on playin' those mind games forever Raisin' the spirit of peace and love Love I want you to make love, not war I know you've heard it before

People have posted positive results in regards to loosening muscle tension. Relaxing is also a skill set that is worth investing in.

I found it increased my body awareness for sure. No other dimensions. Just infinitely here.

This is an edited version of the video. His tongue was out longer…

I wanna take back my earlier comments. I don’t know is my stance

@WeCome1 cool, gonna start very low. I have doubts for sure. I know how dangerous these can be.
