Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. He said I was never on his cameras.. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car or even drove up.. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield? With glazed over eyes?? I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.

If I can do a wish then I would appreciate one vid especially on the topic "identification with consciousness" - which appeared shortly here in the context of the 5 skandhas - but it is a long debate between Buddhists and Advaitas - so an interesting topic to dive in

I realised recently, when I remember places I have been in the past and think about visiting them again, if I returned to that same location the place would not be the same place. What you have in your memory is absolutely unique, a one-off occurance never to be repeated. You had the experience of being in that place at that time, at that time of day, in that season. You will never have that identical feeling again. The now is really all there is, and memories of past nows

You’ve never been in one place or the other. If anythng a place appeared to be in “you” , and a”I” appeared to be in it. It’s appearing now. But there’s no really an “I” and no “place’, language and a cognitive mapping makes them appear so. There’s only always empty here

One of my favorite stories is that of the Bhudda's final test. After he reached enlightenment, the demoness Mara approached him and told him "No one will understand you Bhudda". Bhudda thought for a minute and said distinctly "Some will understand." With this insight and assertion Bhudda had just passed his final test. I am not Bhudda but I have faced a similar dynamic in my Path. I may have a glimpse here and there without my figurative headset. I don't expect everyone to understand as this is a prescription for failure (see quote by Bill Cosby). But some will understand. I paradoxically as a student on the Path wish to understand those who I might not understand if I'm not careful and open-minded. When I learn then I must have the will to share this with others who may not in turn understand me. Peace. 😎

[@gabrielkehdi1412]

This video has so many layers! You know, when I was on my early studies I struggled a lot with this coded language that Buddha used for teaching . I was like “just give the answer already, man!” 😂 But as life progressed and I gathered more experience I began to understand. These topics, despite being absolutely simple, are extremely hard to understand without an active and vigorous will to learn. Simple answers would lead only to shallow debates. So yeah… do we exist? Empty is form and form is empty. About the interdependent arising, I feel it’s also Samsara itself. This net of matter, solar systems, of needs, of constant hunger, seeking and feeding, raw necessities, birth-reproduction-death, trades, transformation, karma… being born into existence is to spin the wheel of Samsara. And then you start to see that suffering is imbedded into existence to the core. And the more we realize that, the more suffering loses friction with our minds… we can still feel it, but it doesn’t hurt as much anymore. We begin to see that every single one of us is swimming as hard as one can to survive existence. Just a bubbly foam of life, drifting upon an infinite soup of matter.

I’ve studied Buddhism for many years and really enjoyed this video. But right now I have to go split firewood or else freeze my butt off. For me, day-to-day Buddhism always boils down to answering the question, “what needs to be done?” In other words, pay attention to my immediate surroundings and deal with that as opposed to things I have no control over. Beyond that, live and act with compassion and empathy. In fact, someone once said Buddhism really comes down to two words: “pay attention.” Thank you for taking the time to produce this excellent video.

Is thinking dreaming in the mind? A dream forming thoughts creating a stream of consciousness and a river of cognition. Awareness is made of the same substance as a dream. A dream is a dream only until it knows it’s a dream and then it wakes up… Interesting 🤔

[@seeker2seeker]

Thank you for your support! Yes, I see a strong correlation between thinking and dreaming. (Perhaps the same process in different levels of intensity?) Your final remark reminds me of the 12-link formula of Dependent Origination, which generates and regenerates samsara only as long as it is ignorant/unaware of itself. Once the cycle realizes its own nature, it breaks. My next longer video will be on this :)

[@tyamada21]

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (series)

The video was remarkable, conveying a profound message that humanity would benefit from acknowledging- the inherent unity of all.

_To identify with your knowing of experience is as absurd as identifying with the space in which you stand_ Awesome clarification.

[@leocities]

Surprisingly good. And it's hard for me to think something is good. 👏

[@pprehn5268]

Gratitide is the right attitude. So much of what you said aligns with experiences with Dhiravamsa 3 month Vipassana retreat where one day for a blissful minutes(I think Therefore I am totally didn't matter to my wholenesswithout any drugs, I meaning my dual nature disappeared and suddenly every move in the grass, ripple in the sky had dissolved me.

My little brain is strained , but certainly has gained.

[@kellykizer7014]

Interdependent arising vs spontaneous generation how does it square.

[@thelaserdoc1]

Profound words that lead me to a better view.

[@GreenSeppel]

Great view on the existence! Thank you for this! ❤ We might not be able to choose what we can choose now but we can choose what influence we want to try to have on our choices in the future. ^^

[@seeker2seeker]

Beautifully said! I think the Buddha would have enjoyed hearing this :)

[@petespencer8813]

You wrap up neatly and succinctly ideas I have struggled to communicate. Due to linguistic shortcomings. Mostly on the part of those I was trying to illuminate. And, my inability to speak in the common vernacular.

[@evopwrmods]

Oh my, by far a showcase of all your previous work. Kudos and much appreciated. Excellent work, so much to digest. But you've help me past small bump along my path. Many times during this video my thoughts were drawn to Orange, and Emptiness. One is coming to realize; to be empty, is to open up ones vessel for more. However if you are filled up, then one can not experience anything new or novel. Only the empty cup ever gets filled ? Many Thanks Seeker2Seeker, our Teacher...😮

[@seeker2seeker]

Beautifully put, my friend! And thank you for the kind words :)

[@og2t]

You’ve nailed it despite your young age 🙌🏻 Thank you.

[@Dennnis10B]

I just learned something recently. With no effort, put yourself in the Universe . Imagine that the world, time or you, never existed . Everything about you never happened. It's just your awareness. This is what empty is .And when you are ready, do this but outside the known universe. Do not force this. Just breathe.
