Dharma is an important component as well. I get that monadic Vedism leads to different conclusions and a more purely transcendental perspective, but for those of us unable to cleanly attain nirvana, we would do well to attend to our material concerns from an ethical and value-based framework.

I was pretty struck by how Sam Harris has it so right and then I learned he spent two years in total in silent Therevada and Dzogchen meditation studying under some pretty good teachers. He was even the Dalai Lama's security detail for two weeks.

He doesn't buy into some of the religious claims but fundamentally he really understands what is the objective of meditation and what is the deepest most fundamental message of Buddhism.

Buddhism doesn't claim good things happen to bad good people and bad things happen to bad people. Most don't even say Samsara is a clear cut cycle that's fair.

And you can see Buddhism without karma, karma becomes psychological states.

The main take away from Buddhism after growing up in it, then leaving it, then coming back to it is that the self is an illusion. By that I mean what you call you is merely thoughts arising and dissipating. The illusion is that you identify with them and think you control them.
>>
>>533477753
>Mahayana ritual + Theravada Aesthetics + Dzogchen theology
Nice dissolution chamber, but i've already said it, buddhism relishes in escapism and that's just the "new finish line" you've set for it, that's your final redpill, becoming nothing and everything, suffering and enjoying at the same time. It destroys the boundaries that define linear identity. I think trying to escape identity cultivation and continuity is gay. Daoism makes you work with what is rather than transcending it.

I don't think you realize that if you go with the buddhist hierarchy and hit the end of its ladder, you'll just reach the bottom of that same ladder. Daoism makes you recreate yourself on each step, enjoying the boundaries, not running away from them. I value identity over everything else in my paradigm.

> It destroys the boundaries that define linear identity
Because linear identity literally doesn't exist. That's the essential and obvious truth. You know that you don't author your thoughts. Where do they come from? They seem like they come from you even though logically you know they don't. They simply appear.

When you are deep enough in meditation you don't associate your own thoughts with a "self" any more than I associate words out of your mouth or the sounds of wind as my "self".

Buddhism works within reality. Escapism is living with an illusion that the self is real. Buddhism doesn't teach you become nothing. It destroys attachment to permanent self. You value identity you say... but your argument is that you don't like that Buddhism destroys the illusion, not that Buddhism is incorrect on the matter.

>I've experienced the sindle mindedness focus that blocks external sounds and changes my time perception, but so far everything is in my mind
A lot of modern meditation methods don't have much, if anything, to do with what Buddha taught.
Most of the time, they're about focusing/zooming in to one thing so as to block out everything else.
The direction Buddha took was zooming out. You'd be closer to what Buddha did if instead of focusing on something specific, you just quietly sit and be bored.
Whenever he talked about jhana or supernatural powers, it was always after describing thoroughly abandoning sensuality. Many focusing techniques are still just chasing after pleasant feelings, rather than freeing you from being burdened by feeling in the first place.

>>533478461
Yes Karma effects your perception of reality and if you do bad things it will shape the way you think and feel since people will treat you differently based upon how you treat them and the world.

Bad people have bad karma and they spend their entire lives with this psychological torture in their minds unable to escape and try to atone for their sins by prayer.

>Many focusing techniques are still just chasing after pleasant feelings
Many techniques today the problem is people do meditation thinking it's just a "feel good quick" scheme or "I want to be happy forever" or "give me a sensation like I'm high on drugs without drugs"

You MAY feel really happy after meditation. You MAY feel a drug-like sensation. but it's not guaranteed and not the goal and not going to happen if you just start. And if that is what you are chasing you miss the entire point of meditation.

I use "you" here meaning a random person not you I'm responding to as I'm agreeing.

But I would say the point is not to be bored. Boredom means your thoughts are racing and you feel anxious about sitting there. You shouldn't really feel boredom. That's not to say beginners won't be bored, that's normal. But once you know what you're doing you won't be sitting there bored. If all meditation was was being bored it wouldn't have a purpose. The reason beginners will feel bored is because they are still learning and get lost in thought or think things like "Am I doing this right? How long have I been doing this?"

I would also say there are some teachings that say zoom in some that say zoom out. Neither is wrong. Just like some are walking meditation some are lounging some are sitting.

This is what modern buddhists get wrong, yeah there's arising of thoughts but there's also something before, during adn after the thought registering that arising. You can't prove the self is an "illusion", you're just pointing out the mechanics of thought arising and calling it proof. Modern buddhists almost always mistake the lack of thought identification with the lack of "the one" who stopped identifying.

Reality works through recursive boundaries, those are what produce what buddhists call "illusions", but that's also what everyone considers reality in their "layer of experience". Reality isn't an illusion, if you consider an illusion to be something "fake".

Reality is not an illusion. The self is an illusion in that you spend your life identifying with your thoughts. When in reality you are in no more control of your thoughts than you are mine. That's the illusion. Why do you identify with your thoughts? Why do you call that the self?

>, yeah there's arising of thoughts but there's also something before, during adn after the thought registering that arising
You are saying that the self is hidden in some mechanism registering the thoughts? That something is just more awareness and experience, not an unchanging self.

>Modern buddhists almost always mistake the lack of thought identification with the lack of "the one" who stopped identifying.
But I can turn the question back on you... who is this "one" and how is it any different from thoughts and awareness... you've just pushed back another layer. The feeling of noticing is just another thought that came from nowhere out of your control.

What I meant was that the way mindfulness of breathing is typically taught today, such as focusing on your breath, is not what Buddha taught.
In a practical sense, how would focusing on your breath free you from the liability to suffer? It might temporarily block out certain sensations, but when you don't have the chance to do your meditation technique, you're back where you started, experiencing suffering with no way out.
Buddha put so much emphasis on virtue and moral behavior because giving up greed, hatred, and delusion does genuinely free you from suffering, no matter what might happen to you. For example, following the 5 precepts will put a limit on how much suffering your mind can create when things don't go your way.
>>533479525
>But once you know what you're doing you won't be sitting there bored
The point of meditation is to give up your tendency towards acting out of greed, hatred, and delusion. If you're doing some technique to just temporarily shut off what triggers those intentions to arise, then you haven't actually abandoned anything. You can do that for centuries and still be liable to greed, hatred, and delusion once you stop.
The reason why sitting there being bored is beneficial is because it's closer to the complete freedom from action of nibbana than doing any specific meditation technique. In some sense, nibbana is the extreme of boredom/neutrality. There won't be anything happening or anything to do ever again for you.
>>
>>533480217
>if im thinking, i can stop my thought in the middle of it
You didn't decide to think to stop your thought any more than you decided to start them. When you talk the words simply come, when you forget a word it happens without you wanting to forget a word.

it's like when somebody tries to prove they are in control of their thoughts by going
"I'm going to think of a blue monkey right now!"
but that thought, once again, did not come from a self, it simply arose out of the mind.
>>
>>533480046
You said it yourself
>you are in no more control of your thoughts than you are mine
Something is registering both, that's "the one", and you're describing its function and denying it exists.
>The feeling of noticing is just another thought
If noticing is just another thought, what noticed that? You're getting into infinite regress with this shit and you can't stop it unless you rely on what you're trying to get rid of, or "dissolve".

What happens with buddhism is you're not really dissolving the self, you're chasing it through its functions and saying it's "gone" when you can't grasp it. And that's it.
>>
>>533479814
That says nothing about women being unable to attain Buddahood. It's just a strong metaphor about what actions to avoid as a man, because getting caught up in sensuality and greed will keep you trapped in samsara indefinitely. It's more accurate to say that sensuality is a trap, rather than women.
>>
If that's the case it doesn't make a difference
>>
>>533480217
If you were the one thinking, then you'd be able to choose what thoughts you have and don't have.
If you had that kind of power, then you'd never think anything unpleasant. In a more practical sense, you'd be able to choose to simply know the answer to any question, if you actually had the control over thoughts that it feels like you have.
>>
>Politics is an illusion
true. you can choose to ignore and feel more relaxed. not much you can do anyway. even local politics is highly determined by those who already have power. we are on /pol/ for entertainment. many have accepted we can't change much. but just memeing funny shit has a small impact that adds up and is hard to measure.
>Women are a trap
yes, most are. especially if they are feminists. passport-bros are right, you have to go foreign to get an advantage, and even then you may run into women who just want to use you for citizenship.
>Karma comes to us all, small and great, enlightened and unenlightened
if you avoid interacting with others, then you can limit how much bad karma you get hit with. hard if you live in a crowded city. eventually some faggot will try to fight you and you may choose to fight him, break his jaw and get into trouble with local laws. karma is basically cause and effect. but most of the time you don't get repaid for good deeds. i've helped plenty of people and got nothing in return (directly), but maybe i got repaid in terms of good luck.
>Happiness comes from within
true. but it's easier said than done. will also sound like cope to most normies who value symbols of success.
>Money is an illusion
whole world is an illusion. money is the point system in that world. so you still need it if you want to live in that world. of course you can go into nature but you'll have to rough it out. money is a socially-constructed tool, it is not inherently evil. you could choose to hoard metals but then when you need something, you would need to deal with someone who accepts that metal and has the thing you need.
>Blacks, women and faggots will never attain buddhahood
true, they are distinctly obnoxious because they don't care about Truth. they are hyper-connected to the material world, and only care about status, comfort, etc.
>>
>>533480338
>The point of meditation is to give up your tendency towards acting out of greed, hatred, and delusion
True, and that doesn't mean you should be bored. Boredom means you are sitting there with thoughts.
> If you're doing some technique to just temporarily shut off what triggers those intentions to arise, then you haven't actually abandoned anything
True
>The reason why sitting there being bored is beneficial is because it's closer to the complete freedom from action of nibbana than doing any specific meditation technique
Not true. Boredom was never taught. Being bored with no clarity accomplishes nothing. Maybe we are using a different definition of boredom?
>n some sense, nibbana is the extreme of boredom/neutrality
That's not true. Buddhism is a form of aversion. The end of craving is not boredom. Boredom is the feeling you have when you want to mindlessly scroll on your phone.
> There won't be anything happening or anything to do ever again for you.
Perception isn't gone, just clinging and reactivity if that makes sense.

I do think maybe we have a different definition of boredom. But I would clearly put Boredom in aversion as boredom is more similar to anxiety than anything else. which is why I think boredom is a translation problem or something
>>
>>533480473
That something which is registering thoughts is just intellect-consciousness. That consciousness will cease at death of the body. Anything which you could possibly cling onto/assume to be a self is all out of your control and subject to death.
>>
>>533480473
>Something is registering both, that's "the one", and you're describing its function and denying it exists.
There is awareness but it doesn't require there be a separate entity behind it
>If noticing is just another thought, what noticed that? You're getting into infinite regress with this shit and you can't stop it unless you rely on what you're trying to get rid of, or "dissolve".
There is experience appearing and some of that experience is thoughts some of those thoughts are "I'm noticing".
>>
>>533476371
Buddism is closer to the truth than any of that Demonic Abrahamic bullshit.

>>533480752
I don't mean that the unpleasant mental state of boredom is good. I mean that giving up intentional action is beneficial, and if someone is just sitting down experiencing boredom, then they're closer to abandoning intentional action than someone involved in breath focusing meditation.

>You didn't decide to think to stop your thought any more than you decided to start them.
im pretty sure i did though. intention precedes the thoughts, and intention stops them. it's the same as with moving my arm. i decide when it happens, even if it can also happen on its own, like thoughts can happen on their own

>When you talk the words simply come
because intention precedes the words. the words themselves you got from listening to them somewhere

wanting to say a word but not remembering it demonstrates intention

Ai is obviously the future. The bubble popped, yes, but it came raging back. And no i'm not just talking about mainstream BS like openai, shatgpt, or claude, all jew-faggot shit. I'm talking about the general tech, artificial neural nets, training sets, advanced algos, etc etc. Next step is running Ai on quantum chips which became the next next new thing last week (quantum stocks mooned 60% and may continue) when nvidia said they were going quantum.

Point is, whether we live in a material or mental or whatever world, it's still there. You are still faced with choice: participate or don't. if you don't, you might as well go full monk ascetic and leave society, because that's what the final end game would be.

If you want to participate then you need to get good at Ai, learn as much as you can about it. Look at literal retards like sam altman becoming billionaires (and doing jackshit with that wealth). same goes for elon and the palantir dudes. They are winning because they adopt the latest tech, and the latest tech works which proves it's got more EFFICACY than all this religious babble (that suggests you should be ascetic....most religions tell you to reject the material world and its temptations).

either become a techfag or a monkfag. or stay trapped in the in-between option: normie consumer-worker who maybe gets laid on the weekends if he does everything right and lives in a mid-to-large city with slutty women. maybe one of them becomes your gf. maybe she's faithful maybe she's not or maybe you're not. maybe you're lucky and there's no drama. maybe maybe maybe.

those are ultimately the three options. seriously. i've thought about this shit my entire life and missed out on so many opportunities because i did not see the big picture.

Nah, you haven't escaped the infinite regression problem, you're just replacing "self" with "awareness" that's not a solution. Awareness without an entity is just a word, what's aware?

>it helps "as a means of cultivating the seven factors of awakening
My point isn't that mindfulness doesn't help anything, it's that the mindfulness Buddha taught is not what tends to be taught contemporarily. So the meditation technique you're doing isn't doing much, of anything, to cultivate the factors of enlightenment, even if you give it the same name that Buddha gave to what he taught.
>intention precedes the thoughts, and intention stops them
But can you choose what intentions you have and don't have? Can you choose to only have good intentions and never have bad intentions? If so, then nobody could ever experience addiction, because they could just choose to never have intentions to do drugs.
You can choose between the intentions that arise, but you can't choose what intentions arise in the first place. You can only try to choose actions that might indirectly influence what intentions arise in the future, and you can only do that because the intention to do so is already present.
>>
>>533481064
>I mean that giving up intentional action is beneficial
That's not what Buddhism teaches. Buddhism teaches right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. You must intend to live that way.
>and if someone is just sitting down experiencing boredom, then they're closer to abandoning intentional action than someone involved in breath focusing meditation.
Satipatthana is the total opposite of sitting down and being bored. Again, boredom is a desire for stimulation which not what you should feel.
>“… Is perception constant or inconstant?” — “Inconstant, lord.” …
Inconstant doesn't mean doesn't exist. Let's continue:
“And is it fitting to regard what is inconstant, stressful, subject to change as: ‘This is mine. This is my self. This is what I am’?”
“No, lord.”
“Thus, monks, any form whatsoever that is past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near: Every1 form is to be seen with right discernment as it has come to be: ‘This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.’
Don't identify the self with perception, notice perception and even notice that insight and realize the attachment to being the noticer is not the self.

An Arahant is freed from both good and bad actions. The purpose of the noble eightfold path is to bring that freedom. You abandon action by means of good actions.

techfag: parabolic curve upward if you are successful. flat or downward if you are not. you mostly hear success stories, the failures stay quiet or become normie workers.

normie consumer-worker: linear line slowly going up if you stay employed and keep advancing career, but if something bad happens the line changes direction, heads downward (illness, divorce, fired, laidoff, overtaken by addiction, etc.)

monkfag ascetic living innawoods: parabolic curve downward or flat depending on how good he is at survival. look up that mccandless guy who gave all his money away, went to alaska to escape society and died of starvation because he had no survival skills. this lifestyle also sucks because you guarantee zero contact with women (which is what some men want since they hate women for being shitty feminist bitches).

I guess OP wants that buddhist flatline of not caring about money, women, or societal politics. good luck. like i said, easier said than done. there's some urge programmed in our genes to make us want to grab soft tiddies and cum inside pussy. i haven't been able to overcome that voice so i'm still bound to the material desires.

>>533481664
maybe not to you. but they are (1) successful and (2) rich, at societal level. they aren't dominated by fear and worry about finances like rest of normie masses. they have power, which is objectively useful. they can go to a month-long retreat in the jungle or desert to connect with nature if they wanted to and not care about the cost. that makes them better off than me at least.

maybe just focus on being a NEET buddhist somehow. that seems like what you want.

take my ex for example, she cannot even spend a second considering religious or "spiritual" topics because she is so stressed about finances.

your point about mindfulness is noted, but i dont have a better source and i cant go back in time to listen to what Buddha said in person
>But can you choose what intentions you have and don't have
that's a great question
it's kind of like the same issue as the thoughts or the arm movement. it's not an all or nothing issue.

>Can you choose to only have good intentions and never have bad intentions?
most of the time yes, sometimes no, the intention is automatic and subconscious

so can i choose to have intentions or not have intentions? yes, but it doesn't mean sometimes i dont have automatic intentions are reponses to something external

>If so, then nobody could ever experience addiction
if someone puts 100 kg on top of your arm, do you lose the capacity to lose your arm just because your intention is being resisted by an external factor?

>You can choose between the intentions that arise, but you can't choose what intentions arise in the first place.
i don't disagree that intentions can arise, but it seems pretty self-evident to me that you can arise an intention yourself too

>You can only try to choose actions that might indirectly influence what intentions arise in the future, and you can only do that because the intention to do so is already present.
that's an irrefutable statement because you can claim anything that has ever happened has caused the next happening, but at the same time it's not provable

Religion is the whole point of the Aryan race, someone found the Dharma and the Aryans became empowered by it and stake on it and spread it

Greeks use the word "Morality" but that's not a robust notion, Greeks and Anglos could never define it and that's why Buddhists say all Dharmas are empty.

If you really want to work your brain, think why Aryans spread the Dharma if all Dharmas are empty.

My point about intentions is that they don't really belong to you, and so they can't be you or yours. You do have some control over which intentions you choose, but even that is very limited, so that capacity to choose isn't a self or owned by a self either.

>monkfag ascetic living innawoods: parabolic curve downward or flat depending on how good he is at survival. look up that mccandless guy who gave all his money away, went to alaska to escape society and died of starvation because he had no survival skills.
buddhism is pretty reasonable in that regard since it recommends the middle path, not asceticism

>this lifestyle also sucks because you guarantee zero contact with women (which is what some men want since they hate women for being shitty feminist bitches).
at the same time, men with women also suffer. a lifestyle sucking or not doesn't depend on what you lack necessarily

>I guess OP wants that buddhist flatline of not caring about money, women, or societal politics. good luck. like i said, easier said than done.
i guess so. it's more like not being attached to those things and enjoying things as they come. it seems to be the wisest choice to me

>there's some urge programmed in our genes to make us want to grab soft tiddies and cum inside pussy. i haven't been able to overcome that voice so i'm still bound to the material desires.
that's overcomeable. if a woman divorce rapes you im sure your genes stop mattering anf you don't want to see a woman again for a long while

Jewish historiography. Britain was already Romanised via trade long before incorporation into the empire, eating Roman food, marrying Roman women, worshipping Roman gods and wearing Roman dress. When you are a global superpower, people come begging to your door. Typical slave thinking, And Roman religion did not mandate Judaeo-soviet union style obliteration of your gods, christkike,

Words words words yeah that'll do it.

"We virtually get away with murder, and all the goy do is to talk about it, which is ineffective since we, the masters of propaganda, always publish a contradicting account. If the Aryan would review history and apply those lessons of the past, then the pen will be thrown down in disgust and the sword wielded in the heat of passion." ~ Harold Rosenthal, Administrative aide to Congressman Jacob Javits, in his 1976 interview

it's easy to see intentions are not me since they come and go, but it will take me a while to see they don't beling to me (i know that my arm is not me, but at the same time, it is mine, and i can move it on command most of the time)

It got 20-30 million Germans killed last time. Maybe this time you'll learn. in a way, your fate as a race marxist was set long before you were born. a spiritual-nigger victim of maya. Yes what we need are more sensual barbaric men, how 'Aryan', how 'noble', while you dismiss a literal last vestige of an Aryan Tradition after Rome was christkiked. PIss off mleccha Trash.

Try thinking about how if you lost your arm, then you wouldn't be able to move it anymore. That will bring up some sense of confinement/fear/discomfort, and through that, you can see how unownable both your arm and the intention to move your arm are.

>Karma isnt real
Yes it is. Karma is everywhere. you inherit Samskara's from your parents. you will put the world on your shoulders and you will walk the path of life.
There is good Karma, and bad Karma. only the wisest of people will say that all Karma is just Karma. never the less there is a righteous way to live life and a sinful way. living a more righteous life will grant you protection from the evilness in this world and just as living a sinful life will only bring more issues and misery to your world.
Its apart of Buddhism to change your Karma. you take on new Karma all the time. new job, new friends, new situations.
Karma will leave your body feeling old and weak. just like as when you take on the work each day.
but you must overcome bad Karma that isn't good for your vessel, so you can be a better person. this can be done by practicing Yoga, Meditation, and other spiritual practices like worship of God, Prayer, and renunciation of bad acts like violence, theft, and lying.
The reason you think that Karma is fake is because you are a Christian. its your job to renounce other faiths. or your an atheist. you have already arrived at the conclusion for something you deem as fake because something else or someone else has told you so.
That is Karma too.
A man goes out in the field all day and works the fields for food. he comes home with a sore back and a basket full of food. you must learn to use Yoga to get rid of your sore back. you must do the work and take on the Karma and then find ways to restore your soul.

Zen or theravada, tho I think the latter would be better for you it's because that is what you seem to be talking towards and also soon to have a huge amount of misunderstanding about.
And just look in Brazil. If you're anywhere close to a population center I guarantee there's some kind of sangha there

over on /x/ there's always a thread about LoA. basically the idea is that the more attached you are, the more you perceive lack, the more you attract lack and chase away wealth. OP has the right idea about detachment. i see this all the time with gambling. the most cheerful, carefree dealers get tipped. the grumpy ones who assume they won't get tipped end up not getting tipped. the gamblers who aren't scared to lose, they bet big and end up winning. the gamblers who are scared of losing, they bet small, keep flat-betting small, and lose. it doesn't matter if they lose slowly or quickly, they are so attached to the money they lose.

meanwhile the rich keep getting richer. and the poor, they get poorer, day after day complaining about rising costs.

detachment works. but it's easier said than done. look at all the words we've already spent in this thread and across various religious texts. just to say: don't be attached. don't want too much.

that's why simple pleasures are nice, like ice cream. attainable. if i wanted a faggot lambo and didn't get it, i would be sad. but i don't want it.
