No, You are talking about things that are not currently possible and may never be.

You believe some scientists , they are wrong in so many things :laugh:





It will take more than the word of someone on this forum to prove that what you speak of is actually possible at this time.

So I'm asking you to back your statements with any kind of evidence.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true. This seems to be a common belief here and I see no good reason for it.

I wrote here not too long ago about a friend's adolescent son who had one ear plugged with an IPod, the other ear against a cell phone, a laptop sat on his stomach while the TV was on in front of him.

One man's picture of piggery is another man's avenue of attainment. Let the fool persist, in fact, give him a push. Don't just eat that steak, eat the hell out of it.
This is why I don't think the purity of Zen and the solemnity of classic mysticism is for our kind, the time has come for a more humorous and horrendous approach.

Im with you dude, this awareness has to be integrated into life/realized as life, not separated from it
For a time 'shun the objects of the senses as if they were poison' (shankara) can be very powerful
Yet i feel the whole ultimate point of all this is integral experience, not creating more inner separation

Asceticism is for wankers; IMO the road of excess is a faster route to the palace of wisdom.  It ultimately comes down to personal preference of course.  :satansmoking:

I tried disbelieving the Universe out of existence but then I experienced an incredibly painful hangover and realized that the external world persists no matter what I think.  :sad:

Agreed. Unfortunately, the road of excess is also a faster route to the palace of dead.
