UnbornTao

Okay

Don't despair, we have churros.

Of course. Tends to be the norm, or so it seems. Maybe by its nature, it is uncommon for people to get, as it isn't found anywhere. And people may describe lots of this and that. Might have been.

A couple glimpses here and there. But don't use that to believe what I said. I wouldn't eagerly take someone's word for it, though. Profound consciousness is rare. And it seems lots of people conflate it with something that is there--in other words, something relative. In any case, breakthroughs are available to everyone, so some might be authentic--you just have to tell the truth about what you went through.

Okay. Maybe look into Zen with fresh eyes, particularly Rinzai and Dogen. This is just inspiration or a direction to explore. Get a sense of yourself and question what that experience is. Get it now. That's the gist of the practice. The "what" can be questioned after getting who you are.

In regards to pretty much anything, what do you have that doesn't boil down to a notion or "philosophy"?

Use "survival" instead:

Fine; it was just a joke.

And now throw out all that you think you know about this, it is garbage. Is it possible? If it isn't, what's with Gautama and the seemingly sincere others who claim to have had breakthrough into their nature? Maybe a few of them were authentic. That opens the door for contemplation. The question seems to be asked as a way to undermine the "quest" from the beginning; it's the easy way out--nothing to do, just making a conclusion. Beyond any assertion of its impossibility, what's true remains unknown to us--this is the underlying condition we find ourselves in. Are you going to let that stop you from looking into it?

Appreciate it.

Okay, here is your nature: If you're going to talk about it, language is going to be used. Whatever your nature is--I'm not presuming to know what that is, and neither should you. And somehow, for a reason I'm ignorant of, we are not conscious of it. Go figure.
