The potential of human existence?
    #11608976 - 12/08/09 06:14 AM (14 years, 3 months ago)

What is in your opinion the full potential of a human existence?

What is the very highest goal you can attain while in this body?

Care to elaborate?

Making potions? Big sleeved cloaks? Magic tricks? :shrug:

What does it involve?

i don't know...you ever see the movie baraka?

there's a scene in japan where you see an old woman with no hair. somehow i got this feeling that she was really old, like hundreds of years old.

that's pretty bad ass if it's true.

for me, my ultimate goal would be to always be mindful of my surroundings, to eliminate the things in my life that are of no use to my growth as a dignified person.

krishnamurti would say, i think, that the question is not what is human potential, but what is keeping humans from their potential? let's remove those things that we know are ineffective and we will begin to see what really matters.

definitely sounds better on paper than in reality but it makes sense to me.

i'd like to be a wise old friendly wizard....or i'd like to be able to transform into a coyote. for reals, not just in my dreams.

It doesnt sound better on paper, it sounds better being lived!

Krishnamurti was right, potential unfolds by itself, the only hinderance is obstacles, you simply remove obstacles & potential fullfills itself

Removing these obstacles & the result is the highest potential a human can fulfill

The 'result' speaks for itself, bliss beyond beleif, unconditional love, timeless wisdom...

Nothing can compare to the Infinite revealing itself through a body, and in this human body, it is totally possible!

i meant to say it sounds easier on paper, not better.

what i love about j. krishnamurti is his sincerity - he is stern and direct but you can sense he is truly sincere.

for me, to attain a true sense of sincerity in my own heart - to face any challenge in life knowing that my heart is in the right place, would be ideal.

i'd like to reconnect with my family, ever since my mom died i left town and i have been a terrible brother/son even though i try my hardest to be  good friend.

i am still young, 25, i have time...but i'm sure my mom felt the same way - she was 45 when she died.

I believe it may be entirely possible to shed our physical bodies - attain something such as a light body or the sort. Gregg Braden speaks of this idea a little bit. Some call it 'awakening' or 'ascension' or whatever. My goal is to attain this sort of Buddha mind/Christ consciousness of the Bodhisattvas.

i believe stars are the highest sentient beings there are. the amount of energy condensed in a star - it's gotta be thinking about something! talking to other stars - sending progress reports home about their solar systems and stuff.

they probably have their own form of internet, called the ultranet.

i channeled this from an alien - don't question my knowledge! :wink:

Sex would probably be some form of non-physical union - and I'd bet it's a lot better! :wink:

Also I remember reading something about human beings activating more of our DNA. Within our DNA is some sort of superhuman potential.

How are you defining highest?  Different people might think different goals are best.

At any rate I personally am aiming for omniscience and omnipotence.

Radiating compassion. To me nothing comes even close to being better than this.  Just mostly silently radiating compassion for absolutely every being. 

Simplicity.  Deep, deep insight. I tend to believe ascended or lucid individuals, you know the type, can always tell whether a person is lying or not because they are so mentally free and when we lie, it is all over our entire face and body.

Haha, when I read this my first thought was some Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon moves. Or a super sense like on The Matrix. Since you're talking about the human body, I'd say maybe reaching a point of extreme strength (feeling as light as air), agility, balance, and reflex. :shrug:

Im saying while in a human body, but the potential doesnt have to be of the body

For example some might say the greatest realization while embodied would be to realize 'i am not the body' so although you need a body to realize it, the realization is not of the body :wink:
