Contemplation is aimed at experiencing the truth of some matter. It is based on profound questioning. Speculation is imagining what something is or how it will turn out. The latter is easy but it's nothing more than coming up with possible "answers" to an equation without actually going through the process of solving it. A bit like running a marathon vs imagining what running a marathon is like.

A lot of it is cultural conditioning and blind faith. So you believe in God, so what? I believe in Santa Claus. The key is becoming conscious for yourself of whatever's true.

Being honest isn't necessarily antithetical to dealing with others in a sensitive, agreeable, gentle manner.

First and foremost, telling the truth must be done towards oneself. Contemplate: what is honesty? Honesty isn't about spitting whatever comes to your mind at any moment as that is yet another manipulation serving your self-agenda -- it's obviously motivated by self-interest. Neither is it being reactive and destructive or acting out one's anger. In social interactions, caution is advised. For example, it may be true that you're angry at someone but at the same time it may also be true that you love her, and so don't want to hurt her. Consider how the principle of honesty is dynamic and context-dependent. Honesty isn't antithetical to care, sympathy and sensitivity.

Something like becoming a monk.

Mind, proof, logic, etc. might come after reality, that is, the latter may be prior to mind and the others. In any case, What would that type of proof entail? A conclusion or conviction? How can the nature of reality be captured in a thought?

Not gonna happen. Enlightenment isn't relative and isn't dependent on "stuff" -- circumstances. This doesn't mean good work can come out of this type of research. Shinzen looks like a wise, smart, nice guy, though I haven't studied him.

Because his work is profound and he's honest lol. Newcomers may find his work unremarkable and even basic. People seem to be mostly after fireworks and fancy ideas. No pretense, no party.

Feel free to get various formats and a couple of paperbacks as a gift for family and friends. In order for Freedom From Suffering to come out, this one has to sell well.

Don't know, others have already provided useful answers though. Practice soccer , you'll get into amazing flow experiences.

As long as you're clear on what those terms are referring to, why not use them? You can be pragmatic. Each of us must grasp who and what one is for oneself, existentially.

Looking forward to this book: https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/ from author Michael Greger.

Explore the relationship between the urge to exist as that particular self you take yourself to be and the experience of self-contraction.

When you exercise, the body releases tension and stress and is able to calm down. It frees you from intellect and grounds you in your body. It increases presence. Something like that.

Resell value, long-term software support, maybe increased security and privacy (due to its closed nature). Also, you get to own a device with the fancy apple logo By spying I mean telemetry, which Microsoft does with Windows since it became free. Apple probably does it to some degree too but has less incentive to. I use Android, btw.

Apple hardware is fine for the most part. Their custom silicon on Mac is great. Software is restrictive, though. Android, Windows and Linux are much more open platforms. About macOS, it isn't that good in terms of customization, window management, multitasking, gaming, etc. but I'm fine with that. It's stable, consistent and seamless. But hey, Apple is called a walled garden for a reason. macOS likely doesn't spy on the user as much as Windows does. Still, I'm keeping an eye on the Asahi Linux development.

Am I the only one who doesn't really know but pretends like he does? Reminder to be rigorous and ruthlessly honest with oneself. Once the condition is accepted, changing it becomes possible. Start by asking yourself: What am I really conscious of? Do I grasp who and what I am?

Those videos are enough for the theory.

I see. In any case, smart guy.
