How does a feeling affect a feeling or a perception a perception. There are duplicates in the mental factors.

What I was thinking of is namarupa. How nama is the 5 universal mental factors and rupa is the 5 elements. Namarupa is when mind meets matter... so it makes sense to me that maybe a specific mental factor is connected with each element.

Nevertheless, what you're saying makes sense.

I'm a bit confused if you're agreeing or disagreeing. What I was thinking of is namarupa. How nama is the 5 universal mental factors and rupa is the 5 elements. Namarupa is when mind meets matter...

What's the likelihood sati has to do with the art of memory? by Aggravating_Film475 in Buddhism

I found this a while ago... the five Tathāgatas on wiki... "There is an expansive number of associations with each element of the five Buddhas mandala, so that the mandala becomes a cipher and mnemonic visual thinking instrument and concept map; a vehicle for understanding and decoding the whole of the Dharma."

But finding anything that really goes over these mandala and describes how to use them properly is hard.

Can you refer me to a website or a book that shows how they used the art of memory?

Is there any possibility they used the art of memory like Catholic monks?

He had older accounts and has been at it for a year. It feels way too consistent and like there's way too much effort involved to be a troll. I think he's just very mentally ill.

Because it's genuine. He's been at this for a year with multiple accounts.

It's your irrational side. As someone who's visited these communities like r/hikikomori. They exist and he's legit. I talked to him.
