You've sold your Soul

[Tim R]

"When you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him."

- Linji Yixuan 

 

This was the first Koan I ever understood and it's probably one of the most important things you can realize on the path.

And I know for sure that there's a whole bunch of you who haven't understood it yet and who for this very reason are on this forum. 

 

Leo / Buddha / Guru / Master / Teacher / more awake / higher consciousness / enlightened / authority / scripture / holy text / etc.

 

None of the above are real. 

All authority is your authority. 

 

You watch Leo's videos, you read Leo's posts and think that his words have authority. They don't. You have assigned authority to them.

You are the only authority in you entire life.

Every decision, every belief, every scripture and every Guru - you have been the authority behind them. You have created the Guru. 

 

Do not sell your soul to others. Do not subjugate yourself to projected authority. 

Reclaim your sovereignty.

This was such a huge revalation once i understood it.

It is insane to ponder that most people have given their authority away, and completely unknowingly at that most of the time.

Of course!

True but funny you come on HIS forum to say this hahaha

[Goldzilla]

Yes, being the reason that the only truth is in self love, self image, all about the self hahahahahahahahaha

Loving myself is loving all the universe. 

[Goldzilla]

Religion taught you to love others, and that is what duality iiiiiiisssssssss. 

The love for others only truly arise after self love.

i guess there is much to reflect on the differences between a koan and a joke and who`s authority that is.

ofc you can`t avoid the marketplace. why do most people identify with the man and not with the ox?

[gettoefl]

i inderstand this koan as

don't be distracted don't be diverted don't be derailed

on the path mind will see all kinds of temptations tricks traps treasures

even your beloved lord will come and say hey stop rest relax enjoy

cut off his head, you have been waylaid by more illusion

there is plenty further to go

g-o o-n d-eeper #god

@gettoefl  #seppuku?

i want to make clear that any form of self harm because of psychological abuse should be directed to find professional psychological help on a massive scale it`s even easier than meditation, the self here includes all forms of self.

Can I go shoot my pastor then? He's been preaching that to not obey God is a sin worthy of hellfire all his life...
