:3 Niceee. I was seeing a very well made video with nice art, vocals, and quotes, on Buddhism, and ideas of philosophy. He brought up Christianity. A Buddhist was asked by a Christian, what is the difference between us. The Buddhist said, you believe in'a room, that God is with you there, right? The Christian said, yes, that's true. The Buddhist said, well, when a Buddhist is in the room, there is only God in the room.

Mmmhmmm... All of this enlightened thought is exactly what led to the technology behind our smartphones and the very platform we are sharing content on. Tbh. In history we have a period of time called the enlightenment... There has been enlightened people... Are you guys saying Einstein, Galileo, Newton... That they weren't enlightened! Or as I seem to interpret it... The version for enlightenment the video is talking about is actually specifically that of a certain cultural perspective. I suppose this video is true for the Borg.

"Through wisdom I know that I am nothing, through love I know that I am everything, and between the two my life flows." Nisargadatta Maharaj. One of my favorite quotes you cited.

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

That sounds very wise especially compared to the louder and more numerous messages like "Be Somebody!" "Get Rich Now!" "Look Younger!" Etc. So, thanks for sharing one of your favourite sayings. Words represent thoughts and thoughts represent our beliefs. This "I" that knows through wisdom that it is nothing, and this "I" that knows through love that it is everything, is the very "I" which is only implied, but never exists! Fiction writers know very well how words used creativity can conjure up whole fantasy worlds. Shared fantasy worlds could be mistaken for reality if many larpers were playing along and doing that 24/7. That's where we all are. We're born into it. But fiction remains fiction no matter how many believe it. Many sayings are wise, but the supreme wisdom is the realisation of "no self". In any thing. This is exactly what it is like when there is no self! There is nothing to achieve and no-one to achieve it. REALIZE!

I hope to be known by a few for having a simple yet advanced way of thinking we should be focussing on our third eye helping take care of the only habitable giant rock in space for who knows how far. We need to stop being distracted by hate and war, distrust, money and greed, we need to focus on love, unity, respect, evolution, this planet and all it has to offer, instead mfs got three different social medias, becky makes a killing in only fans but posts vids on Instagram about objectifying women, a man speaks about his lifestyle and how he treats women and all the sudden Millions flock,meanwhile fentanyl is killing every type of drug user besides the hippies and tripper's. Everyone is so distracted by the tiny screen in their hands or what that group or this group is doing, who can we hate next, what can distract me to the point where I'm too old to realize I've wasted my whole life being a sheep, believing everything these politicians, news channels, and fake woke people are saying. We are wasting time destroying the world and not moving forward. Y'all still judge by the way someone looks outside and not in, and y'all take the easy way rather than make an effort for us and for every living thing. I'm not a Christian etc. But if. I was God I wouldn't let this shit go on, but it's us who's the problem. Shit won't change we won't evolve and advance if we don't figure out how to get out of this cycle that happens every 50 to 100 years, we will all keep dying keep fighting, get distracted by random pointless shit cuz youre too lazy or scared to try to leave the herd. Keep wasting what this planet gives to us till it's too far gone, I'll hopefully be dead before that resting in the same earth that gave birth to us.

The concept that the self doesn’t exist can be handy when a part of you is trying to ‘spiritually bypass’ the existence of an emotional body as a form of protection. Oneness is about acceptance, compassion and understanding of ALL thoughts and feelings that arise in the now and using skilful communication where needed

[@antonlevkovsky1667]

there is no "now" , there is always some past being dragged along any sensory input or impression. It is impossible without it - any sensory input is an integral of recent moments which are in the past already. Watch carefully. Pure now without past must be that samadhi thing (sensory flow is impossible there). A human cannot function in the real now, the effort becomes meaningless. What happens to a practitioner of being in the present moment? He shuts down some of the faculties of the mind so that the attention can be focused on the flow of immediate impressions. He then develops this feature of NOT BEING PRESENT in the parts of the mind which do higher reasoning, allowing actions and words to flow out on autopilot. You are present in one part, absent in another.

[@helentam-semmens821]

A little knowledge is dangerous, my fellow human. Consider this: A person is having a terrible nightmare and can't wake up. Somebody is trying to rouse him, but you say there is no need, because the dream is not real and won't kill him. Regardless, the person is suffering, isn't it? And the pain and suffering in this physical existence is as real as we all make it to be. In any case, your ego self will ultimately want to wake up/dissolve. Meanwhile, please don't mislead others until you have a glimpse of reality (enlightenment) your self.

[@karmapeople1735]

Nowhere in the video have they dismissed suffering. You've some assumptions. Your doubts can be answered by this story of Adi Shankaracharya: Once, Adi Shankara shared, ‘This whole world, that is everything, is nothing.’ So, he was saying, ‘This is all nothing.’ Like the modern-day scientists say, ‘All this matter is nothing because it is all just waves.’ As he was saying, ‘Everything is nothing’, just then a mad elephant started running towards him. So Shankara ran to take cover. Then someone said, ‘Oh, that elephant is nothing. Why are you running?’ Shankara then said, ‘The elephant is nothing, and my running is also nothing.’ Such was the profound intelligence of Adi Shankaracharya, and you will rarely find someone like this. Don't confuse the apparent reality with the absolute. Suffering is in the apparent reality, but if you're speaking in absolute terms, then that transcends suffering. But this in no means tells you to ignore the pain/suffering you feel in life. "Meanwhile, please don't mislead others until you have a glimpse of reality (enlightenment) yourself." And how do you know the video creator is not enlightenment? That's another assumption.

[@helentam-semmens821]

@@karmapeople1735 Emptiness is the highest truth. But it is not to be taught to the novice, as it will confuse.

I agree - these kind of arguments misunderstand that a collapse of binaries does not give one free reign to indulge. That’s classic spiritual bypassing. Originally the crazy wisdom was for select monks and nuns who hadn’t made progress after years of practise - it was designed to shock them out of their limited view. Disseminating these teaching in Western Dhamma contexts has been a complete disaster - as independent research will easily verify.

This was a surprise, well done, nice summary, and a wonderful collection of images. That true spontaneity only exists within a context of relationships, and that that is ethics, is a beautiful idea.

[@nocantry]

The Confucian approach to true spontaneity seems contradictory to me. How can spontaneity be true if it is confined to prescribed relationships? Maybe I'm biased for having an affinity towards Taoist ideology, but surely we can agree that spontaneity is something that arises naturally everywhere, and not strictly within the relationships in a hierarchy. If anything, I feel like the hierarchical nature of the relationships hinder true spontaneity. But this is just my opinion. Truly, I know nothing.

[@markcounseling]

@@nocantry Your question is a good one and it seems to me essentially similar, maybe even the same, as the question Arjuna had for Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. Why must he fight? Why does he have to live out his prescribed role? For a full answer I would strongly recommend reading the Gita, but as a KZbin comment I'd say that true spontaneity can only occur within relationships because all there is, is relationships. There are no "things". There is only the energetic flow of Reality Itself, but for there to be names and communication, a hierarchy of order and value is automatically, spontaneously inherent in the words themselves, because of their relations to each other -- mother, son, and so on. Those relations are not just totally random or meaningless but derive their sensibility from a spontaneous structure. Yin and yang is already a sort of structure, before the 10,000 things. In order to have a society, which is to say the flourishing of a large group of people, some codification of beneficial relationships is in order. In fact that codification spontaneously arises as a part of the natural wisdom of the situation. Do the people have to follow the codes? If they want the society to flourish, it's not a bad idea. A hermit living in the forest has little need for those codes, because he becomes the forest itself, but if he goes to the village, suddenly there is a spontaneous web of relations that begs for an ethical response.

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’³

Imagine if Gautama Buddha had been born and raised, not inside a palace ruling a peaceful kingdom, but in a country which had been conquered and corrupted by a brutal imperialist power as Jesus was. Would Buddha have kept teaching until captured , tried in court, and executed like Jesus Christ was for preaching peace and love? Or would he have self-immolated like the monks in Tibet after Chinese Communist conquest? Regarding the story of the exchange between the Buddhist and the Christian at the end, I think a difference between the two faiths is in the understanding of potential conscious action. In the Bible the Trinity also discusses potential courses of action, and there are many stories of God talking with followers about what God's plans are. So with the Christian, the contemplation of possible action remains conscious, but the goal is to be so unified through the Holy Spirit of self-sacrificial love, exemp[lfied by Christ saying "Not my will, Lord, but yours."

[@youbigtubership]

@@dars240 I think you missed my point. Buddha's response to internal social degradation or decadence within the population of his unconquered country (peaceful in the sense of not oppressed by an imperial power) is what created Buddhism. My question is about Buddha's hypothetical response to a hypothetical imposition of an oppressive military force and political system on his father's kingdom. How would he have responded pre-enlightenment vs post- enlightenment? Using the words 'more refined', if you think about it, makes little sense. They were in very different cultures and nations, facing very different challenges. So to teach in the same way would be impossible. I don't see refinement in Buddha's teachings in any practical juristic sense, for instance, whereas in Christ's teaching justice and law, mercy and forgiveness are central. By contrast, I don't see a hierarchical variety of spiritual goals being set in Christ's teachings, but that seems to me to be most of what Buddha teaches. Their respective teachings address very different circumstances. It's interesting to speculate what they might have done.

[@heavycurrent7462]

So how many more years of journey do you need until you finish circumnavigating the content of the mind? That is all you do. Living in the mind. It can stretch out to infinity, and you can hold both false conviction and right comprehension all the same. The mind is a colourful canvas. But it is also the abyss. If you seek things greater than the mind and its ideas you need to step out of it. Be no more partakers of the fruit of knowledge. Else, continue on

[@rodcameron7140]

@@heavycurrent7462 I do believe your focus is in the wrong place. Living as the best person you can be is the focus, exploring your mind is just a small part of what needs to be done to help facilitate that. The mind is not a continent. If a mind, or belief, or perception is static, then, I believe, that individual has missed one of the biggest lessons of life itself. Everything in life changes, it is the "natural" progression of life. Even our mind changes over the whole course of our life. To put a limitation on something that "naturally" needs change is to do that thing a great disservice. If AI becomes sentient, then we will instantly be parent and God, because of the limitation of perception of our creation. Though, as every parent should, we would hope that our creations achievements exceed our own. We should hope that they become better than us. Both for our creations sake, and for our own sake, we should not put a limit on our growth, and we should continue to grow in many areas. Exploring the current progress of our minds growth is one of them.

In a sense, this is enlightenment. Once there was a monk who was to be sent to a great king to work under him, a king known for killing his subjects on a whim. The monk told his master he was not ready. He left the temple for a year and returned, telling his master he was ready. His master asked him what made him think he was now ready, he replied "before i was worried i would be killed by the king if i were to serve him, then i realized there never was an I" His Master replied "you are ready"

Basically they are designed to program a person to a particular response, and the major stimulant to facilitate that change being peace and love. ...but the idea that story teaches, is that something you really believe, or is it just accepted as truth because there are so many people that appear to have achieved something desirable, saying it is the only way?

There are only metaphors and similes used in the attempt to have a conversation about enlightenment. All such terms, ("emptiness") have limiting qualities, that we need to use in our effort to communicate; but do not apply to the "infinite." You can only say, "It's not this - it's not that." There are no terms using language that will not be limitations to the metaphysical infinity of what you are searching for.

[@thrashingrage659]

Yeah, language is mind control. Partial truths that create contradictictory illusion, one dimensional and fixed parameters that only constitute a fragmented context, lack of understood sensitivities in words that breed semantical hierarchy in their interpretation, and overall an insignificance not to be considered when realizing the infinite coexisting factors of actuality as it always results in the subject swiftly turned to ignorance, and for the individual, a distorted perception. People unfortunately seek the absolute in words regularly, guess it fits with the surface level observations of change that we are conditioned into, societal pressure to conform and give a quick answer to avoid uncertainty. Not like uncertainty is rewarded anyway, you'll likely be condemned and/or isolated.

[@thrashingrage659]

@eightpetals ha nah I don't know about that, that seems to be humanities problem.

I "logicked" the idea that all is one over 20 years ago now as my extended family was pushing very hard for me to become a member of The Church of Christ. I figured if God existed before all of this and God created everything the only way for God to create would be from God's self, so everything has to be a manifestation of God. As such we could not find God or meet God since in essence we all exist within God. God is all that exists, so movement of any kind is impossible, since there's no place in which God can move. Time is intertwined with space and movement and is also impossible. What I struggle with and choose to reject is the purposeful pain humans cause each other and other creatures for pleasure or personal gain. Whenever I see something innocent or blameless suffer it's very painful. I also know that ultimately there's no self, but the illusion of self and ego can continue indefinitely, and "I" enjoy being a self. I'm choosing to continue the illusion.

[@CroshVine]

"Can you be enlightened and kill people, or be unethical?" - Enlightenment is the awareness that everyone is you, living in a dream world of infinite consciousness. It is detachment from the consequences, fears, biases, preferences, and opinions of your limited identity, as well as the identity itself. In that state, you know that nobody can die, that those people are just other incarnations of yourself, and so the decision to hurt them may be easier. On the other hand, a truly enlightened person would recognize that killing a bunch of people would have no real benefit or impact on the flow of balance in our world, so they'd be far more likely to just sit back and do nothing. So, while an enlightened person might be ok with these deaths and corrupt practices, they wouldn't engage in them personally. Because, what's the point?

[@imuuri]

Very very good points. And then again you eat food. If you know your true infinite nature you know every particle you take in is yourself, you consume yourself. Murder yourself. It's built into every single beings nature to do it. Even if you choose a reality where you stop eating and drinking, you still breath, and in each breath are mold particles you incarnate and your body's cells will murder them to preserve your internals. We are murderers. Sure we sit back and say what's the point but doing nothing doesn't give it any more meaning. Eventually you want to stand up and stretch and eat. And then conversate and compete. That's why you are in this realm and not the singularity right? Every enlightened one is a murderer. Everyone lashes at themselves. I am the only one that kills myself.

See we often want enlightenment to come with a particular set of rules, easily crossing it over and confusing it with a holy person. Enlightenment does not mean you are holy or will do holy things, it just means you have been endowed with superior knowing. Holy people do have this, but they are orientated to work for the creator to restore balance back to positive. But you have evil beings that are too enlightened my friend. Because it is when you get to really know the creator that you begin you see that it is not concerned with your idea of good and evil Which is subjective to you or whom ever is appointing themselves as judge, the creator is concerned with forward movement/progression. And this is indeed what evil if for, it is to enable friction to happen which causes change. It's is the aspect of order and chaos, thee known and thee unknown and the never ending story of good vs. Evil. So enlightened people are on both sides, and holy people are scaled to be positive dominant, but may be a Robin hood or a Moses or somebody potentially saving people through negative means and such, but they are more intense with God than an enlightened individual, an enlightened person is more on the aspect of being able to navigate the universe that is inside of them and bring their light in said area or realm in order to draw gnosis or knowledge.. as opposed to one who hears the creators whipsers as does the holy ones

The enlightenment hype is misleading. Everything is empty, however the true awareness of ones own non-existence is both intensely rewarding and painful. It would be beneficial if instead of questioning these disciplines we focus on this concept of “love” and question its true nature for this is the last frontier of liberation; shedding love and compassion to just “be.”

[@mansinirmaljain]

[@4587445]

The problem is when you speak about focusing on concepts and questioning. This doesn't do the work. The problem isn't philosophical, it's neurological. Our minds BEHAVES like this, it doesn't THINK. It's like the difference of imagining the taste of a strawberry cake and actualy tasting it. You can imagine the taste because you know the taste of strawberry and the taste of cakes, but you don't really know the taste of that particular cake until you truly put it in your mouth and EXPERIENCE it. Enlightenment is the same thing. It's about how you EXPERIENCE reality, instead of how you THINK about it. You will never truly know how it feels like to be completely egoless unless you teach your brain how to experience the world in this form. And for this you need to do intense meditation training for thousands of hours, you'll be rewiring your brain to not have this thing called 'ego' or 'I' or 'self'. It's not an intelectual matter. Therefore, reflecting upon it will never lead you to enlightenmente, you need to practice, to teach your brain and shape it accordingly through training.

[@LeandroAlmeida108]

@@keldealmeida5768 The problem is in trying to be loving or any other concept, if you know how to just be, you know that "love" is your nature, and i dont even know if love is the best word, we are talking about a dimension of experience that is constipated in most people's life, so if we keep using the word "love" in a social sense what are refering to? What i am talking about is a deep conection with every living thing and everything around you. I think this "love" in new age spirituality is picked up from cristianity, buddhism or something like that, but many spiritual tradictions never felt the need talk about love, or better yet, see the live words of enlighten masters like Sadhguru, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, they dont talk about love, but simply know one self. Lastly, talking about a concept of love is it self a contradiction with spirituality, since to go beyond the mind one needs to go beyond concepts, and to go to the formless one needs to go beyond form. Why talking about focusing on the concept of love rather then the experience of love?

Actually now that I reread what I wrote while most likely drunk, tons of stuff changes. Relationships are magnetised, you always meet people on your wavelength with almost a 100% rate. Especially when you’re not specifically looking, it just comes to you. The closer you get to the Divine, the stronger your feelings of love, creating strong magnetic energy within you and you suddenly become the emanation of joy and love. You become more like God. People will suddenly start talking about exactly what you need to hear in your journey. Everything will become like a video game. You will realise just how connected you are to God in every moment. No separation, and as a result, every part of your life will be a mystery that some people may not even be able to believe, because everything is intensely incredible. You also realise the ways in which energy and your individual consciousness affects everything around you. So you begin to emotionally change ahead of the future you want, because by being in love with life, you will receive a life that you love. You can either manifest as a reaction, or as an intention.
