20 posts in this topic

What are some interesting paradoxes on the spiritual journey that'd lend themselves to dramatization via a fictionalized anthology?

Could you elaborate? ?

When difference is no more, and all borderlines are erased; resistance and surrender are actually one and the same. The two blend into something known as 'Infinite Will'. 

In direct experience; the 'paradox' was unbearable - to say the least. There was no possibility of any release without a conscious effort. Meaning; even the sense of relief had to be willingly cultivated into being.

Prior to transcending this paradox; it was quite literally an equivalent to hell. In transcendence; paradox was no more. Only laughter and... Unstoppable, infinite Will.

Time exists. Time doesn't exist. 

Part 1. Our heroine takes a huge dose of 5-MEO-DMT, and becomes enlightened and finds time breaking down. She starts to find herself suddenly in different times and places and bodies and is desperately trying to work out what's going on.  She finally works out there's a common thread to it all...

Paradox is essential.  Thingness itself is a paradox.  Because it's absolutely impossible for something to exist yet here it is. 

In Buddhism they talk about emptiness "sunyata". It doesn't mean nothingness or what you think of the concept of zero. But basically the lack of any substantial existence to all of phenomenon.  Always changing. Insubstantial yet appears as if it's so solid and real. Tempting you to grasp at it.. Only to realize there is nothing there to grasp.. Yet it reappears again and you are decieved again like a fool.. Sweet cycle lol.

...To a mind, yes ?

The heart has never seen, nor experienced a single paradox.

@Someone here Maya?

Love is Maya? 

That's a new one.

Well I didn't say love.. The love thing is tricky and don't even get me started on this one lol. 

You said the" heart " as an opposite to the mind.. I'm not sure what are you talking about?.  I know pure awareness and the intellectual mind.

@Someone here Pure awareness is infinite Love itself. The Heart = Unity.

The mind understands only through polarization. It is not an opposite to The heart. It is an opposite to itself - if anything.

The mind is - in that sense - merely an extension. Not The Absolute.
