axiom

The character never awakens. Eventually, all the seeking will be recognised as already it.

Unless rolling down a hill. Then you have all the benefits of momentum.

Anything can happen.

@r0ckyreed So what indeed. I quite liked the first Rocky movie btw. It had real heart. The later ones seemed like they were just going through the motions, with the notable absence of Rocky IV.

Your first paragraph is comprised of 58 words. Curiously, your final paragraph is comprised of 58 repetitions of the proclamation "I don't know".

Sounds entirely logical. And you can keep breaking through and breaking through and breaking through to higher and higher and higher and higher orders of infinity. It could be called 'Applied Cantorism'. Cantor would have approved - if only they could have sneaked 5MEO into the sanatorium.

Your post contained six paragraphs. The first letter of each paragraph (not including the last) spells out 'CSIPA'. If you rearrange these letters it spells 'ASPIC', which is a savoury jelly made with meat stock.

@Vladimir Did you keep your beard trimmed to the same length, or had it become unkempt and feral?

You are enjoying approaching awakening like a science. Nothing wrong or right with it. It's probably very fun. Seek and ye shall find. Atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, pentaquarks... infinity has no end, naturally.

Existence... nice! No. No no no. NO!

Most people seem to use the word "experience" to refer to an experience of something. This is a subtle duality. There is actually no experience of anything. There are only things appearing directly. The thing that seems to be looking is not looking. What seems to be awareness is just an appearance. It's all appearance. All the way down, up, sideways, on every axis.

@r0ckyreed Who? Me? I have no attachments. But I like it. The monks seem happy too.

Experience does not exist. Therefore, non-experience is all there is.

Experience is simply a misapprehension of appearance. No observer is required, nor has there ever been one.

Reincarnation is in your direct experience. It is the belief in the reality and ownership of a self / selves.

There are yogic practices that can help with that.

Yes, Kriya is boring, but is quite nice for breathing. DMT is fun. Buddhism is my favourite though.

A vampire is bitten and he sees the world in a totally different way. But it doesn't happen overnight. The person he once was must slowly die away, piece by piece, cell by cell - until finally all that is left is a husk, and then dust, and then nothing at all.

@Jowblob Forms / bodies are just the notes of an eternal symphony. Noone is stuck here on Earth.

Except Humphrey Davy, a British scientist, who experimented on himself and his friends with laughing gas at a medical laboratory he founded in Bristol, UK, circa 1800. "I am sure the air in heaven must be this wonder-working gas of delight!" wrote the poet Robert Southey after being introduced to nitrous oxide by Davy. As the laboratory descended into a den of iniquity attracting poets, playwrights, actors, scientists and philosophers of the day, Davy noted that none of these intrepid psychedelic explorers seemed to be getting hurt when they inevitably fell over while inebriated. Davy had a brainwave. Perhaps Nitrous Oxide could be used with advantage during surgical operations? Within a few years, it had become the first widespread anaesthetic, forever changing the face of medicine.

I like popcorn just as much as I like Buddhism, although buttering either seems like a bad idea.

Buddhism is fine. I like it.

Watch the thoughts. Realise they are not yours and never were. Realise that “you” were only ever an idea. Job done.

No. Words - even those comprising apparent questions - are only the punctuation of infinity. It could be said that all words, all questions, are absolute truth.

That’s all this is. It could be said that there is only magic. Everything that seems to be real is also completely impossible.
