When the child grows up, they can leave the ghetto if they really want. I suppose the seeker can do the same thing…whenever they grow up.

Always remember Honzo with love. What you both gave to each other will help you along in the future….

You know Takuin, I have always wondered why seekers flummox you so much… You say, “Why do they so desperately want to know these things?”

Imagine a ghetto where someone entered when they were still a child… The ghetto is mean, very little laughter there, mostly trying to wonder when it will all end – would you still wonder that such an inhabitant would fantasize about what it would be like to not be in a ghetto?

Btw, remember I told you about my puppy Honzo. I have had to give him away. Now i have a hole named Honzo in my heart.

The kid couldnt even comprehend being born totally happy in the first place, like all of us

Perhaps adults cannot be happy because they can comprehend it…or at least comprehend an idea of happiness.

It is interesting that when we notice we are happy, that happiness seems to disappear…

Thanks for that, no matter how clear it is/was in the mind there is only this/life, nothing separate, not even the thought concept of ”you” and ”me”, was still trying to reproduce a final enlightenment experience including a total stopping of thoughts like the buddhas, ramanas, nithyianandas, nisargadattas and the like.

Great gurus for real but they never asked for the adoration only to take a look at reality like it actually is beyond words and thoughts.

Becoming happy through meditation? The kid couldnt even comprehend being born totally happy in the first place, like all of us (shelter, feeding, taken care of needed of course but no more needed.

Anyway a bit of a disapointment here no more staring into pictures, listening, reading, gathering vids, writing/tweeting to reach something lol.

“Lack of sacredness” made me laugh.

It can be difficult, but the answers are there. It might be more of an unwillingness to see than an inability.

It is not always easy to do the right thing, but that is mostly because we tell ourselves something else is more important. But I am not sure how strongly we actually believe our own stories, in that case.

I wish, if enlightenment exists , that it made me into a more high power anthenna that could transmit wellness throughout the world .

I think the main point to understand is, you can do that NOW. There is no need to wait.

One of the major stupidities of humanity is the inability or unwillingness to take action at the right time. We leave it to others; our favorite politicians, religious leaders, and so on. We feel that, if we rally behind someone, and at the same time, talk down to their opponents, we are doing something. But that is not action. All of this political talk, flag waving, sign waving, is an active form of laziness. If we really wanted to change the world, we’d get out there, do it ourselves, and not wait.

The real problem arises in inaction. In waiting, violence becomes inevitable. By the time we are ready to stand up, it is practically too late, and the closest vehicle for change is violent action.

This will be one of the main reasons for the fall of humanity…

It is not easy to act, when action is needed. It is easier to postpone, and hope someone else will take care of the problem. But we have to leap beyond this if we hope to survive as a species.
