James Low, we are not just bopping here!! We came here to get lost in Samsara and find our way back to true nature - liberation. We learn and grow along the way until we realize how to get home without necessarily dying - even though eventually we will die... and maybe we will reach liberation upon death but it could happen before. You kinda make life be meaningless. I love and understand the principles of Buddhist teachings and thought - we are not just bopping... we are looking for happiness... and the buddha gave us a road map for the realization of it.

The most liberating of all the buddhas teachings is impermanence. And impermanence is not some mystical formulation, it is something that is there in front of your nose 24 hours a day. It is not a concept. It is the actual lived quality of our existence. That everything is a ceaseless flow. There is nothing to grasp. What we grasp are concepts. Concepts grasp concepts and create the illusion of a stabilised field of experience - James Low

Very often we confused intensity with awareness, that things become real because they are intense - James Low

Thank you so much for sharing these videos! The insights are incredibly useful. However shorter videos would be better! I would always be happy to volunteer my time to cut them shorter too.

Too long and many times, it felt like it was going around in circles... that got not very helpful .

To be part of the world is to be disturbed, so if we think I don't want to be disturbed, I shouldn't be disturbed, it's not fair that I am disturbed, you disturb yourself twice as much. The fact is you will be disturbed because disturbance is what you get here - James Low

So very important in meditation is to let all thoughts go. If you get some brilliant inisght and understanding just let it go. If you find yourself plagued with negative difficult thoughts don't get worried and agitated because that will act as a kind of glue to make them stick, just let then go. My minds full of shit, ah yeah. It's not my shit. Somebody's shitting in my mind. Sooner or later they'll stop and then the rain will come and wash it away but if you think you're doing it, if you get into the omnipotence that I am the owner of my mind, I am the creator of all that happens in my mind, I'm in charge of it, I am responsible for it and I am not going to put up with it any longer, then you will be very, very busy - James Low

The turbulence of the world is great and if we try to resist it just by pushing it away that often doesn't work, we just become very exhausted. Part of I think the way forward is to recognise turbulence is normal. If you watch the news there's always something going on, why is there something going on because there's always something going on, our world is turbulent. It is just turbulent it is never calm, its never ever calm. The Tibetan word for this world is jigten, jig means disolving or breaking or changing, something which is transitory and ten means a site, it is a site of impermanence, this world is a site of transition. Now if that is what it actually is to image that it will be stable is an absolute illusion - James Low
