As long as you think there is something to understand and someone to understand it, you are doomed. Trying for this understanding is the most trying thing of all. Yet trying not to try for it is just as trying. There is nothing more futile than to consciously look for something to save you. But consciousness makes this fact seem otherwise. Consciousness makes it seem as if (1) there is some-thing to do; (2) there is somewhere to go; (3) there is something to be; (4) there is someone to know. This is what makes consciousness the parent of all horrors, the thing that makes us try to do something, go somewhere, be something, and know someone, such as ourselves, so that we can escape our---
>>43102005is that what you understand?
>>43102005so only thing left to do is to be aware of the conditioning (on all 4 points you mentioned)without trying to control, without trying to figure it out,without recalling previously tried things, without being occupied / busy and un-rested being present in the movement we find ourselves...no manipulation, no control, no discriminations

where your attention goes, energy flowsif it attention was fixed and stable, energy would compound on itselfthe attention could unfold from that stability and affect all of life
>>43102053the only thing left to do is self termination. if you don't exist but suffering does then removing experience (universally) is a net benefit. the value of the experienced only exists through the consciousness which is only MAKING IT SEEM like (1)(2)(3)(4)
>>43105487killing and hurting oneself is bad for health"if you hurt nature, you hurt yourselves"so no, self termination means neglect and hurt and "doing something" from a state of restlessness

>>43105695Jesus' ethereal theme park, is an appetizing carrot suspended in the darkness of life's suffering, if you are one of those who are sensitive enough to life's suffering. However, to get that carrot you must first kowtow to dogmatic authorities that cannot be told apart from those of Christianity, spiritual ministers who strong-arm you to do some things and not do others under pain of not becoming enlightened.>>43106179In Buddhism wanting things is just the thing that keeps you from getting the thing you want. Less circuitously, if you want to end your suffering, you will never end your suffering. This is the "wanting paradox," or "paradox of desire," and Buddhists are at the ready with both rational and non-rational propositions as to why this paradox is not a paradox. How to understand these proposi-tions is past understanding, because, per Buddhism, there is nothing to understand and no one to understand it. And as long as you think there is something to understand and someone to understand it, you are doomed.
