You should have your own advice column

I'm looking for that someone (again) and I definitely know myself, but that doesn't make it any easier, everyone I run into is so.. well.. plugged into the illusion that it's hard to find someone that's been unplugged for as long as I have (that isn't decade older than me). That separation is a big one.

I come to find that there isn't as many other people around that know their self's that well. So I feel like an alien here, maybe I am, don't know.

hey machineamentum...

Here's a little Huang-Po....

"Thus we can encompass all possible worlds, numberless as grains of sand, with our one mind. Then why talk of "inside" and "outside"? Since honey is naturally characterized by sweetness, it follows that all honey is sweet. To speak of this honey as sweet and that honey as bitter would be ridiculous. That is why we say that emptiness has no inside or outside. It arises by itself, spontaneous and absolute.

Ordinary beings are the Buddha, just as they are. The Buddha is one with them. Both have the same nature. The phenomenal universe and nirvana, activity and stillness, [guys and gals] - all have the same nature. So do all possible worlds [3rd/4th dimensions] and the state that transcends all worlds. The beings that pass through the six stages of existence, those who have undergone the four kinds of birth, all the worlds with their vast mountains and rivers, enlightenment and delusion - all of them are the same. When I say that they all have the same nature, I mean that their names and forms, their existence and non-existence, are empty. The vast world-systems, uncountable as the sands of the Ganges, are all contained in the one boundless, empty, radiant mind. How then can there be Buddhas who save or ordinary beings who must be saved? If the true nature of all things is the same, how can such distinctions be real?"


so machineamentum...

know this. the only difference between a waking and a dream state is the perception of time. As such, "reality" is coloured just like your dream state is coloured by your feeling/astral nature.

To change your perceived reality, you need only change the coloration of the perception....

that special someone shares the same nature as YOU, the self before a thought arises. in fact, there is only this one Nature we call Self and everyone is it.

All the waves on the ocean are the ocean. there is only water. you dont need to "go" somewhere to "find" something. The universe does not exist.

i hope the Huang-Po helps and doesnt hinder. There is only the eternally present Presence we call Now which is no different than self-nature before a thought arises. The universe is a holographic reflection.

What colour do you choose?
