@ArtemisI0 @realityacid108 Splat! Damn, you got me :))

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@ArtemisI0 Haha. Ok, I'll try.

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

It would be wonderful if people could stop saying things "are downstream of" instead of "are caused by" or "are a consequence of'.

Thanks in advance.

@ArtemisI0 @realityacid108 You're comment and the OP's claim aren't necessarily contradictory.

I never argue with clowns. We just throw pies at each other :)

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@ArtemisI0 @realityacid108 You misunderstand the OP. It has nothing to do with being "miserable" or otherwise.

It's a question of apprehending the real nature of conditioned existence - which can be too subtle an insight for many people.

@scholarofyore_ There's a reason Dante placed the philosophers in the First Ring of Hell.

@vividvoid The final stage of not caring how many group chats you're getting roasted in is the first stage of realising how far from enlightenment one is.

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@_space_punk_ Sounds like you've more or less (I'm too old to say lowkey) already found it :)

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@OMApproach From where do you imagine we fall?

There is no diffeence between the material and the immaterial world.

@_space_punk_ Western docs are mainly just clerks and errand boys and girls for the pharmaceutical industry.

Even when they don't even want to give you the fkn pharmaceuticals!

@jamesbloom_ Consider that in Buddhist cosmology there are said to be millions of inter-penetrating universes in every atom.

@_space_punk_ When iron-rich water oxidizes it turns red as blood.

@AesopZak Thanks for the xmas card of the day :) I emailed you but it might be in your junk folder

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@BarneysRubble0 :)) It's a long time since I watched it. I remember a few beautifully framed set-ups punctuating many tedious longeurs... and Marisa Berenson being easy on the eye.

@danielmingram @doristsao I'm not sure why you'd think this might be helpful, Daniel...

Surely the nature of genuine realisation is inseparable from its immeasurability?

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@BarneysRubble0 Haha, maybe.

Tbh I've experienced it more as a difficult way in :)

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@BarneysRubble0 I guess in the spirit of your "too many paradigms" I'd go with Nagarjuna's four-fold negation:

Phenomena neither exist nor don't exist, nor both nor neither.

That tends to put the cat among the paradigms :)

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@BarneysRubble0 WTF? Being a Buddhist I've got a bit of a slantindecular (thanks Flashman) perspective on the subject but it's a really interesting, well-written post. What's their problem, man?

[Tenpay Nyima @TenpayNyima]

@hyrevayn @O1A2S3D @xereeto For your consideration...

The gross human mind tends to think of death as the final separation of body from mind. A more precise description is that death marks the end of a period of time. Throughout so-called "life," we are therefore experiencing a continuous stream of "deaths!"

@HughAndFree @CHRISF0GLE Woof!
