But, before I give you mine, I > want to see " yours " . I want to SEE... if you are " thinking " ... what > I am " thinking " ! > I " SEE " craving (sexy women) I " SEE " aversion (fighting men) I see neursocientifically this is how the most basic processes of our brains work, until calmed by a nondual view. I " SEE " Crook (craving, gathering, Pharaoh) I " SEE " Flail (aversion, dispersion, Pharaoh) and how they are crossed over a dead Pharaoh's chest, in a kind of tantra, an X, realization of eternity, bridal chamber of the mind, wedding of craving and aversion, realization of what's beyond I AM, death of ego, while alive... Through deep insight, the Buddha discovered that the crucial link is sensation (vedana). The Buddha said that with the base of sensation craving and aversion arise. Sensation is the cause of desire (craving/aversion)...which causes suffering. In order to remove the cause of suffering (craving/aversion), therefore, one must not allow sensation to generate cravings/aversions. One must practice Insight Meditation (Vipassana) at this juncture so that ignorance (avijja) becomes wisdom (panna). One has to observe sensations, and to experientially comprehend the truth of its arising and passing away, ie " impermanence " (anicca). Paticcasamuppada (The Law Of Dependent Origination) is fundamental to the teaching of the Buddha. Emphasizing its importance, the Buddha said: One who sees the the Law Of Dependent Origination sees the Dhamma. One who sees the Dhamma sees the Law Of Dependent Origination -- Majjhima-nikaya I, Nal. 241, PTS 191. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dream is just an imperfect REPLAY of the movie that has already happened before! The dream is simply a random PLAYBAK of the memories... and, nothing else! And, the purpose of dream is to keep, make and strengthen memories and to exercise the brain. This ['memory making', memory strengthening and memory keeping] process keeps happening even while we are Awake... that is the single biggest thing that takes our Attention away from the Present Moment! And, the motivation behind " memory making " is... SURVIVAL. Humans long time ago learned the " importance " of 'remembering' the location of " food " , the location of potential " mates " and the location of... Predators! They are still not ready to forget it and to let go of the PROCESS that has helped them SURVIVE thins Long! This process [of being " busy " in memories] will go away ONLY when something else is SEE to be More important than " life " ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
