@Razard86 Do you think it's a matter of hearing and understanding an answer? If it were that easy...

"So I robbed that bank as you told me... now what?"

What is desire? Can you find pain behind it?

What is beyond beyond?

@Creatorbeing Are you high? Your posts aren't very clear. You should know that posting in such state isn't allowed.

Fear is as accessible and constant for us as a condition that it stops being noticed and instead recedes into the background of our experience, subtly (or grossly) tainting our experience of everything.

By attempting to modify, add to, withdraw or hide --through pretension and manipulation-- our experience of ourselves and of life, we are conceding that what is there isn't enough by itself. As a result of this relating, a continuous struggle emerges as our background condition.

@Razard86 You're still holding being as an action, not as is. Here, there, when, entering, floating. Whatever you're talking about is relative and a subjective state. You might have had insight or breakthrough but it always sounds like your mind and intellect are filtering it through their set of beliefs.

@Razard86 Being is, experience occurs.

Maybe not.

Hey, our shit smells too.

What do you habitually apply yourself to? Apply: do, think, feel, pay attention to, consume, invest, create.

"Refuting Buddhist Rats"

According to the legend of Gautama, it is.

Depends on why you take meditation up. Its function is healing and mindfulness, so that's what you'll get.

I think paying attention to ways in which you've failed is not a given and can increase your chances for success. Success is relative to the purpose for a given interaction, so first clarity of desire is essential. Most people aren't even aware of feedback. Indecision Procrastination Lack of clarity

@Rishabh R Feel free to start it.

@Breakingthewall OK, contemplate.

It is possible to realize the absolute. What you say sounds like a state and I'd question your conclusions.

Who? We are, maybe it's by design. In any case, I appreciate the chat.

Again, my contention isn't that the absolute isn't absolute. It can't be experienced as it isn't an experience, it's the word we use. Relative phenomenon appear to us in distinct forms, depending on what we're talking about. An experience of an emotion isn't the same as an experience of an object, for example. A hug isn't a hunch, etc. Absolute doesn't imply insight into the relative. That's why, if other things such as skill or transformation are desired, there's more work to do besides enlightenment. Gautama might have not been a masterful cook. Then grasp how it's being imagined, to what degree, and how it's done and lived. Acknowledge and master it as it is experienced. This is an answer about what's true. It's the same principle: self-survival. What drive is pushing you? What is surviving? Distinction isn't limited to language, though. It is that you experience what you do. Uniqueness may occur conceptually as self does. Given that, the self dynamic can also be said to operate similarly as any other distinction. Uniqueness is a subset of a perceived "self", entity or object. Is distinction conceptual, and viceversa, though? Have to look into it. Everything might be nothing, yet our experience of life is unlike that. Completely transcending self, suffering, life and death is unlikely and rare. Ultimately, we don't know anything and therefore must remain open. Enlightenment is a good first step. Tried to come up with an analogy: Electricity is foundational to a computer's operation. It sources and is present throughout all of the computer processes, hardware and software. The experience of using a PC (managing apps, writing, editing videos, playing games, customizing the GUI) are forms of electricity while at the same time they show up in particular ways which are experienced as different from each other. In this analogy, for example: What are hardware and software? What's writing a book? This would be the equivalent of investigating the relative. Something like that.

@Majed Fair.

@Majed Could be but those are the guidelines.
