If you've seen this 2018 TV show then please don't spoil it for others. The delivery and context of this line was killer! "Don't tell mama"

Is that like bending in the wind?

Well I have a hernia operation coming up in November and if I get butthurt from that I'll be complaining!

I though the butt thing was was to do with plastic surgery! Am I alone in thinking that old Kim is a loony?

Is this the beginning of a cult?

Yes of course, because certain words are very powerful like shazam! HP taught me that one. There's also words/terms which could out you as a... ...fundamentalist!

I thought I posted it in the hole! I'm just getting old.

This is supposed to be fun and has no serious point other than seekng out obscure slang whether offensive or not.

And this groundbreaking news:

Hmm I figure the primordial self is like a perfect mirror, conceptually speaking. As for a personal self that's kind of like a dirty mirror or one that's warped and not perfect/true. The ego is this dirty mirror which we can choose to clean! So the individual self does exist but it needs a wash, or does it? Repeat one-thousand times: Tend to the work then wash. " " " Of course this has nothing at all to do with enlightenment and is simply called 'needs must'.

I'm not really a Buddhist I just walk like one!

Yes 'opinion and understanding' is what forms one of the two Buddhist truths the other being the absolute truth which we can't talk about because the mind will just.. well do that monkey thing.

Empathy, Sweat & The Transmission of Emotions: Scent & Spirituality
Patrick Brown posted a topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Found this a couple of months back and I found it very interesting. So do you believe that empathy is a strong force that we should always be mindful of? -
This chap thinks it's all balls. Watched the first 10 mins and will watch the rest later.

Anybody tried dry fasting? Apparently it can be very beneficial for ones health. I'm in the process of cutting my fluid intake down as well as keeping away from modern beverages such as tea, coffee, alcohol, cola etc. Herbal tea, water, fruit and vegetable juice is what I would choose to drink.

Did you notice the black marble?

This one's for marbles, obviously!!

There is a Tibetan Buddhist doctrine about the two truths, one of which is relative and the other which is eternal. Oh did I just say it all?
-
That version seems pretty good, sometimes a new version can allow something to trickle through.

Hi All, I'll just chime in as I'm passing, been away for years!! So the way I see it when you're dead you're dead but what people tend not to get is that there are somethings beyond the material realms and in essence they don't exist! It's pretty hardcore philosophy, or not, but the personality of an individual is what reappears. So everything disintegrates and nothing is left so how can a persons personality reappear? Well it never really existed to begin with did it? It's like an illusion. Think memes and ideas as that's similar. Anyway the mind-stream is an unbroken thread so as the conscious mind fades into oblivion another mind begins it's appearance from oblivion. Bear in mind that everything exists and is happening all at once so the continuation of the mind stream is a natural event. You can pencil in the rest for yourself. Oh the dissolution of the personal ego/personality happens but I haven't figured that out yet it's something to do with it being absorbed into a kind of nirvanic state (laya center perhaps) and some say the personality can still reappear! Well either way we're often told we're eternal beings but be careful not to freak yourself out with that notion!
