One’s center is not one’s center, it is the center of the whole. 

And the ego-center is one’s center.

That is the only difference, but that is a vast difference.-

Where is the "none of the above" option?


Bearing with the conditioned in gentleness, fording the river with resolution, not neglecting what is distant, not regarding one's companions; thus one may manage to walk in the middle. H11L2

any belief that a person adopts which leads to contentment, is not useless or worthless, and if that is what he wants then so be it.

and this will be the second lesson in the context of the absence of judgment, the first one was about the "no-self".

There is no wanting to do.  There is only what is.

the one who really believes in something, also believes that he want to believe in that something, otherwise he would have dropped that belief already. for him, that something is the truth, and that's fine.

@tsuki sorry, fixed

@Patang it's sounds very tricky what you are saying. Playing the buddha, false believes does not lead you to ignorance and so on, to suffering?

one can choose to believe in whatever belief he chooses to believe (the belief paradox and the free will paradox, a vortex).

Once you write something, it's open to become a belief. You are arguing yourself.

There's no you that's writing anything.  Reality is just playing itself out.  It's clinging to beliefs about reality that makes it seem like there's a you controlling stuff.  Writing is just an experience in reality.  A happening.  Everything is just happening, but you're taking it as a you doing certain things.  That's a belief laid up on top of the happenings.  And that belief or lack of it has no impact on the happenings!  The happenings are independent of beliefs about the happenings.

You should keep a open mind and not place limits or preconceied understandings on to a subject. Do not form an opinion on something before you explore it and experance it.  If you do you are doing your self a disservice. 

 


I no longer advocate, participate, condone, or support  actualized.org or Leo Gura in anyway. The reasons are left in the few post I left behind.

What I'm working on is not instantly dismissing any of these listed above and other phenomena that I don't consider 'real'. 

If I haven't encountered the reality of the thing, how can I judge it to be non-existent? That would just be believing in my own conceptual bubble that I consider 'able to happen'.

I finally learned that within me 
there lay an invincible summer.

all except for: energy reading, soul, karma.

The majority of others are real, but pointless. 

I’m gonna throw out some controversy and say psychedelics are mostly pointless too.

@Will Bigger Yeah is controversial, to several cases of anxiety or depresion may help, 

as Leo said this psychedelics can teach you about context bringing you another context complety diffrent,

the problem is only a few people can make sense of the experience, and the most people just stay stuck in their mind or use it for recreational stuff
