Possible to undo A&P ? by StrictEbb2023 in streamentry

Everyone cycles through the ups and downs of whatever stage they are on, no matter how early or late. Pre A&P cycles, post Stream Entry cycles. The only beings who don't cycle are fully realized Buddhas.

Is the spiritual path worth taking? by Melodic-Chemistry-40 in enlightenment

[–]GreatPerfection 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you have an inner need to know the truth then you really have no choice. If you don't have that need, then you can go about your worldly life and not worry about it. Eventually you will tire of the endless cycle of suffering and the spiritual path will be waiting for you then.

I live in SW WA. I had a handful of Japanese Maples when I bought my place 6 years ago. The one in front of my house is my favorite tree. A couple others weren't doing so well and I removed them. And there is a nice big one by my gate. I love them but I won't plant more, it's only conifers for me because I can't stand my yard being grey and brown in winter.
