The ND Wall St. & TheTrading of Ideas

[Guest guest]

In my opinion Advaita and Buddhism's

ideas are trading well. Yet,

trading wrong ideas for better ones

is not enough to change your life.

To have the right concepts

in your spiritual portfolio, is not

enough. Enough to conquer suffering,

to perceive rightly, to live joyfully,

to be free from the tyranny of your

ego's self-importance.

 

Only letting the mind slow down,

subside, and sink into the completely

unknown, dark, silent presence of

true nature would radically change

your life.

I am just wondering what those Buddhism and Advaita ideas or concepts

are? And how can a concept ever be called " right " ? It never occoured

to me to consider those traditions as ideas or concepts. Rather they

are forces, urging us to abandon all ideas and concepts.

Dont try to conquer something that just has to be looked at to

disappear. Dont try to do something " rightely " when there is no " right

or wrong " . Dont fight what is your very self-important nature. You

will become only more and even more tense.

Maybe slowing down the mind is not such a good idea? Sinking into the

dark deep sleep of ignorance could make you simply forget who you are.

Why not sharpen your mind and go on full speed... maybe then you will

be able to cut the ropes that are binding you and you can face the

light.
