Reality is the present moment .🎉❤

[@TimelessWisdom999]

Incredible insights! The idea that reality is shaped by our thoughts and perceptions resonates deeply with me. Can't wait for Part Two!

[@LightofMindfulness21]

The Buddha’s teaching that reality is not fixed but dependent on perception is incredibly liberating. It encourages deep self-inquiry and detachment from rigid beliefs.

[@AnandaWijewickrama-c6s]

I listened to you. Everything what you said is maya. Appeared and disappeared. Norms, hypothesis, and thoughts are maya. Thanks.❤

Hello, I'm Thai 🙂 (Thailand🇹🇭). I use google translate, so there might be some mistakes. You should study more.The core of Buddhism is Paticcasamuppada, which is the process of the arising of suffering, which has the following characteristics: Because there is ignorance (not knowing the Four Noble Truths), there are all sankharas (fabrication of bodily, verbal, and mental actions). ------------------------ Because there are sankharas, there is consciousness (perception, mind .Consciousness does not mean ghosts, such as perception through the eyes, perception through the ears, perception through the nose, perception through the tongue, perception through the body, perception through the mind). ---------------------- Because there is consciousness, there is name-form (things that are perceived, both abstract and form). ---------------------- Because there is name-form, there are sense bases (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind). ---------------------- Because there are sense bases Therefore, there is contact (the interaction of consciousness, name-form, and sense bases) ---------------------- Because of contact, there is feeling (happiness, suffering, equanimity) ----------------------- Because of feeling, there is craving (desire, passion which has 3 types: 1. Desire for Kama(Kama is lust for what is desirable things such as lovely form, sound, smell, taste, touch, reputation, property,...) 2. Wanting to have, wanting to be in desirable things 3. Not wanting to have, not wanting to be in undesirable things) ------------------------ Because of craving, there is clinging (clinging to things desired as unchangeable, clinging to things desired as undeteriorating, clinging to things desired is mine, which has 4 types: 1. Clinging to kama 2. Clinging to opinions 3.Clinging to the precepts 4. Clinging to myself) ------------------------ Because there is clinging, there is birth place (things that are clinged to). ----------------------- Because there is birth place, there is birth (person who cling ) ----------------------- Because there is birth, there is decline and decay and there is sorrow, lamentation, suffering, grief, and distress. ------------------------- When the time of death is near, because there is still ignorance (not knowing the Four Noble Truths), there are there are all sankharas ----------------------- Because there are there is sankhara, there is consciousness (perception, mind), which consciousness arises and ceases continuously throughout the day and night very quickly, for example, consciousness arises to perceive form, ceases from form, then arises to perceive smell, ceases from smell, then arises to perceive taste, ceases from taste, then arises to perceive thought, etc. Consciousness arises and ceases very quickly in every fraction of a second. It arises and ceases so quickly that it seems as if consciousness does not decay. But in reality, The soul also decays like the body, but decays much faster. What has arisen and ceased is not the self (self), but is not the self (not self). ----------------------- Because there is consciousness, there is name-form (what is perceived, both abstract and form). ----------------------- Because there is name-form, there are sense bases (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind). ---------------------- Because there are sense bases, there is contact (the contact of consciousness, name-form, and sense bases). ---------------------- Because there is contact, there is feeling (happiness, suffering, equanimity). ---------------------- Because there is feeling, there is craving (desire, of 3 kinds: 1. Desire for Kama(Kama is lust for what is desirable things such as lovely form, sound, smell, taste, touch, reputation, property,...) 2. Wanting to have, wanting to be in desirable things 3. Not wanting to have, not wanting to be in undesirable things) ---------------------- Because there is craving, there is clinging (clinging to something is my own, clinging to something is myself. clinging something is my identity. Although everything have to decays, when it arises it will disintegrate, it is not your own, not yourself, not your identity) ------------------- Because of clinging, there is birth place(location of consciousness, things that are clinged to, which are of 3 types: 1. Kama world, which is the birthplace of hell beings , animals, ghosts, humans, and Angels in the world who still have lust 2. Form world, which is the birthplace of Angels in the world without lust 3. Unform world, which is the birthplace of Angels in the world without lust and body ) --------------------- Because of birth place, there is birth (birth, beings have senses, consciousness go to their mothers’ wombs) --------------------- Because of birth, there is aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and distress, which arise completely. The arising of suffering (things that must decay) is also in this way:

[@kib3571]

The Buddhist concept of "no self" holds that self-consciousness is a temporary aggregation of the five aggregates.

[@kib3571]

With the disappearance of consciousness, everything in the body naturally dissolves into or belongs to the universe.

This is a series of existential questions from the Mahapunama Sutta (MN109). 1. "Am I?" 2. "Am I not?" 3. "What am I?" 4. "How am I?" 5. "Where has this being come from?" 6. "Where will this being go?" These questions represent: - The nature of identity-view (sakkaya-ditthi)

[@Sanmayce]

What of the three worlds one enters when tripping on Ayahuasca? It seems that the unsolved question what Soul/Self is comes once again. The no-Self, is it experiencable during those psychotropic trips, or just the Soul/Self wandering without the 5 senses? Consider a narration pointing Theravada Buddhism stance on visiting supernatural realms.

[@smashhimmungo5798]

When i broke through on some Heavy DMT it was like i was out of my body and time and space stopped ! It was a different level of Consciouness and it was ME without a 3D body with what we call time and space ! But the question is IF IT WASNT MY EGO WORLDLY ME THEN WHO WAS IT ? This is where alot of people including myself get confused ! ❤

[@fish-108]

those are just altered states of consciousness, and thus, different worlds. on normal days, you're wearing yellow sunglasses, and you "see" (actually you MANIFEST) the (your) world as a human + yellow sunglasses would. everything's yellowish. on days you take Aya, DM-Tee or whatever, you're wearing red sunglasses with christmas lights, and you MANIFEST your world as a notExactlyAHuman + red sunglasses with christmas lights would. everything's reddish + sparkly. since youre manifesting a different world, you're "somewhere else". YOUR earth, at that point of time, does NOT "exist" anymore - they now return to existing only as waves/ currents of super-potential, just like how the double-slit experiment in Quantum Physics proves. once your consciousness takes off the red sunglasses, and goes back to its normal yellow sunglasses state, the waves of super-potential collapses back into the earth you are "familiar" with. similarly, during Astral Projection/ Sleep OOBE/ etc, youre wearing different coloured sunglasses (purple, blue, etc), and manifesting DIFFERENT other worlds. similarly, when dreaming too. and EACH dream, youre probably wearing different glasses, depending on your state of mind when you laid down to go to sleep. this is why Arahants and Buddhas do not dream - they are in Sati 24/7, and dont go accidentally putting on any of those fun-glasses and go mindlessly out at all those various other manifested worlds, which are all, including this earth, illusory.

[@fish-108]

@@smashhimmungo5798 that is still your worldly ego you. even if you broke through to the Deva realms, or even as high up into the Brahma realms, you are still your worldly ego you. because even those celestial and heavenly realms, are all still within Samsara, and thus, conditioned. your "self", is simply just that - a conditioned object.

[@Sanmayce]

@@fish-108 Still, I have no "stable" vision/understanding what are those states, nor what Self is, and that's okay, I feel no eagerness to know the esoteric truths. Yet, these mysteries are prompting on a daily basis to remain alert of how magical and mystical the life is. As far as I see, you are in agreement with Carlos Castaneda's notion that dreaming could be shifted constantly thus changing the world we are in, I have read with great interest the 12 books and remember once Carlos asked Don Juan what would a standby guy see if a shaman has a chain locked on his leg in the process of shifting to another reality as a bird, didn't get the explanation and didn't feel the need to "get it", love this feeling of abstractness where control is not enforced but coming out of itself. Hope, someday on this channel or another the ignorance to be dispelled, at least the most profane part - not knowing that "truth" is paradoxical - this is one of the verses in Dao De Jing that I love most.

[@smashhimmungo5798]

@@fish-108 So does that mean at the time of death you will put other sunglasses on and still be a ego self? Or at the point of death your Sprit consciouness still exist minus the worldly ego ? How can one know how to beat the illusions of the realms to escape samsara if death and the heavely realms are illusions and conditioned ?

[@fish-108]

i think that Samsara is a holographic computer simulation RPG movie-game. and each and every single one of us, has played this game trillions, upon quadrillions, upon septillions, upon gazillions of time, in an innumerable number of versions of eternities. the problem is, every single play-through, is FILLED with injustice, pain, agony, suffering, anguish, torture, etc, yet we STILL INSIST on playing again and again. so its either a self-induced dr0g-addiction on a cosmic level, or its some sort of a TRAP, whether intentional, or unintentional, who knows? only Arahants and Buddhas know.

[@Jamalavrau]

I do believe in Nagarjuna's word when he talks about emptiness and the buddhist views on how reality is empty of experiencers and objects being experienced by people, but I must inform you, if you don't study quantum mechanics, please BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL, it's against the Budda's Dhama to assume any total compreheension of anything, scientists don't know what is the nature of quantum mechanics, we have asumptions to keep thing having a physical meaning, quantum mechanics is not philosphy it is results, you don't need a conscious observer to make quantum mechanics exist, your thoughts and Ideas doesn't shape the world and to think you become the universe the ultimate prison of the Ego: you don't dissolve it, you make it as big as the universe, it grows infinetly and so does it's imperfections, that's mostly Jung's view of the Ego as a complex of the Self. So, in short, quantum tunelling is happening in the sun rn as you read this and it's happening in many places where consciousness doesn't exist, reality itself can only be understood by a conscious mind, it doesn't mean it is bounded by it, you don't create reality, you can't cure cancer with your mind, if you think you do, that's grasping to view and you're still far away from the end of ignorance (it's an Ego complex, not enlightment). Only conscience can verify reality and reality in turn gives birth to consciousness, it's a non-dual, mutual relationship, so please don't stray from the path towards a petty view from the universe, analyze your thoughts and see the truth of ignorance

raw Information is real. Processed information may illusion. Universe is real

[@blueskies1237]

The problem is that your brain does not get raw information. By the time information from your census gets to your brain it’s been highly processed and highly filtered. The amount of information coming into your brain. It’s so vast it would be like standing at the bottom of Niagara Falls.

[@DanielLogue-n3p]

I was enjoying this video until the narrator started making blanket statements about physics and evolution. Although i might agree to an extent about consciousness, dont make statements about physics and evolution that lead to invalid conclusions. You dont need to. What youre trying to say holds without that.

[@Bahujan.Chintak]

Well said. It is usually common for religious people to find science in their religion. What was not known at the time of the religious preachers, one should not ascribe to them. Buddha was a moral preacher and not an evolutionary biologist or quantum physicist. Nevertheless his preachings and ideas were more scientific and dogma-free as compared to other religions. But still one can't claim him to have known all modern science.
