forestofemptiness Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) How can one become immortal by adding on to your own nature? If by nature, you are not immortal, how is it possible for this nature to change into one that is immortal? And if by nature, you are immortal, then how is it possible to gain what you already are?

C T Posted April 24, 2010 How can one become immortal by adding on to your own nature? If by nature, you are not immortal, how is it possible for this nature to change into one that is immortal? And if by nature, you are immortal, then how is it possible to gain what you already are? Hey Forest, I am just wondering if there is room to consider the view of one as possessing outer and inner nature, outer being that which has been accumulated/indoctrinated, and inner is that which is beyond all dualistic distinctions and cannot be convened without first moving out to the external aspect of self? The outer nature is subject to all the natural laws of existence/change, whereas the inner nature is perpetually changeless, centered, and transcends all known natural laws? Instead of gaining immortality, perhaps it could viewed from the perspective of gradually dissolving the limits of mortality thru adopting/practicing the various authentic spiritual paths? Just a very basic premise to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forestofemptiness Posted April 24, 2010 Cow, There is room for all that and more! Of course, if outer nature were accumulated, then it would not be one's "original" nature.

And if by nature, you are immortal, then how is it possible to gain what you already are? Immortality is staring at you and you choose to be blind? Actually, spanking your monkey will make you blind. Immortality of the body is in your genetics. Immortality of the self is seen in the The Savasana. The Savasana allows you to choose your next birthmother. "How is it possible to gain what you already are?" Open your eyes to see the world as it is. Your Heaven and hell is created by you - in your children: Your children are the bearers of your next life. Charles Darwin noticed a repetition of genetics every 3rd generation. http://www.scribd.com/doc/18795161/probability-in-genetics http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/11802-awakening-psychic-abilities/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
