Talk to me here Mr. I'm too negative....

bodhi sita is a fashion faux pas! lol

Oh - if you are talking about yeeears ago - we approached each other with the wrong intention?

True?

You hurt someone years ago and moved on, because that's what people who hurt people do. The world continuing on depends on a) forcing them to forgive an injury not important enough for you to remember having committed, and b) deceiving them into thinking a) was of their own free will.

Thank you for projecting your assumptions on me.

I really fell for someone years ago - with no rational reason.

We talked a little. They said they wanted to open up to me but chose not to.

So what did I do wrong?

Seems to me, that was their choice.

I however, have not been able to keep from thinking about them. Wishing them well, and wondering.

I also had a lot of growing to do.

about 5 years worth.

So - if I was still on that persons mind, perhaps we should meet each other as we are now.

I already apologized in so many ways -

But again, is an apology necessary to someone who never even asked for my phone number?

Is an apology necessary if I thought it was just sexual on their end?

Deep questions.

i HOPE you actually get paid to follow me around like a heckler...

It makes me laugh.

Thank you.

Noteworthy - I asked if they were married.

They didn't say no....

I feared the worst, and honor my sisters so much that I would never be with a married man.

you can leave me out of this

Not really. Siddhartha, for example, grew up a prince in a society about to collapse under the weight of the racism and nihilism that founded it. So what does he do? He makes nihilism into a never reachable nirvana, whose requirements to be reached are--you guessed it--the same old caste restrictions on the body. If caste is immaterial, then why retain reincarnation, its vehicle, especially when the soul and the judge of it, atman, do not actually exist according to dependent origination? Buddhism also keeps hell,just for the hell of it. What is the fucking point? The ruling caste got soft by virtue of ruling, and began to see the beauty of existence at the same time as they lost the ability to rule. So they invented a god who doesn't actually exist who demands belief in an enlightenment that never comes where the sudra, who shovels shit and handles corpses, will see the same beauty as the rulers sitting amid lotus petals and courtesans. And hell forever for those who call bullshit. This is what you are peddling.

Wow.

I openly state that I feel many things are mistranslated from Every religion.

Even so far as to state each of them have a lie and a truth.

I wished you could have listened to my talks with my mom, a devout Catholic about this.

To me, Buddhism has a lot of wisdom about how to not get trampled by your own expectations.

Their views of the Cosmos are quite detailed, with the different realms.

The ghost realm for instance - (hungry ghosts.)

However, I agree they are too passive.

I take a little from each.

I am not a Buddhist, but I am really drawn to the fact that a Rich Prince chose to look deeper at the meanings of everything.

In the same way I love the theories of Jung.

Buddha stated he was not Enlightened.

He did not want to be a God -

I can understand why you might assume things.

I prefer questions, instead of assumptions.

Our mind will come across information on it's own, and if left unchecked can come to the wrong conclusion.

Some teachings in Buddhism teach us how not to do that.

I know many Priests who also refer to Buddhism and their wisdom on certain issues.

Again, clearly you don't know me, nor do you want to.

You can keep the illusion you hold of me in your mind..if you wish. Free will and all - but it isn't me.

:fouragreements:

CUI BONO?

I think you should direct that question to Foundations...

Not wisdom about how to navigate being human.

Unless?

Why are you fighting for people to become quantum entangled in this "realm" if you are arguing about the Buddhist karmic life and death cycle?

Redundancy, imo

I just got done telling you, the person parroting the wisdom of Buddha, the face of an ancient corporation, that there is no difference. So who benefits? I forgive, you forget. You got to mistreat someone for free, and in return I get to be a weaker person, and delusional about being 'stronger' into the bargain. A simple glance at how society functions tells me this is no wisdom at all, but instead benefits everyone who acts as they please--something I am myself not permitted to do.

I am fighting to be free of your constant interferences in my life and decisions, and especially your dishonest talk of free will when I see you having a hand in every punishment--and selective punishment, at that--I am still recovering from today. You're deranged. Any administrative power over someone else, and you immediately overreach, all the while relying on dusty old nostrums about forgiveness, when you a) haven't yet stopped the offensive behavior, and b) went into your transgression of other people's boundaries fully expecting to use those tired excuses to get their forgiveness, because it would be easier for you to get than their permission.

It's ok, I understand...

Hope you are ok.

Yeah, you are lost bud.

Can't help you if you can't hear me.

Try another voice.

You have me confused for someone else.

The first time I responded to you, I told you, that you were projecting.

If you can't sit with that, and look at it - then please leave me alone.

I do not interfere in your life - put me on ignore bud.

I am ok -

I actually enjoy standing up to bullies, manipulator and thieves.

Bodhi: All things considered, there's no longer such a thing as "too negative." We're watching the rise of full-tilt tyranny by people who think mass-genocide is a great idea. A human brain is hard-wired to rage against injustice & growing threats. Too many people have become too complacent or are conditioned to be passive & submissive. That's a surefire way to get yourself turned into a lampshade.


Both Jesus & Buddha famously expressed anger when it was appropriate. It has it's place regardless of how at peace you are with the world spiritually. For all my ranting on GLP, you'd be shocked to find out how serene & peaceful I am 99.95% of the time. Every well adjusted person hopefully is like that. That 0.05% is what keeps you alive when the chips are down. Without it you perish.

:water:

Thank you for saying what I had the wording to lack.

You would probably be surprised in real life how in your face and fiesty I can be at the right target.

If I didn't have children who need my time and attention as a mom, I would be working with rebel assassins I think.

Hi, Bohdi!

So when do we all get to whip the moneylenders?

They're a bunch of baby-eating weirdos. I think they'd probably enjoy getting whipped. I'm thinking flamethrowers & bazookas.

:flamethrower:

WWJD?
