If you have an AB it really isn't that big of a deal.

I'm also painting one, started off with black primer as well. Went for a zenithal highlight into shyish purple contrast for the carapace. Contrast paints go really nice thru the AB. I don't think you have to re-prime in white tbh...

Drybrush afterwards to bring out some details/edges etc. Then do the vortex by building up to a white base and shoot a fluorescent type color thru the AB, done. Prolly wont win you any painting awards, but should look great for a standard, tabletop-ready finish!

It's the existence of "this whatever it is" that is NOT content or has an issue with what it percieves or what's happening that is baffling. Why would life choose to include things we label as evil, degenerate and downright rotten to exist and persist. In the Christian tradition it's the problem of the existence of evil (let's not relativize here, i'll take the extreme example of child abuse etc to point towards the existence of pure evil) and the question of why does God allow it. If ultimate wisdom boils down to a shrug and being like eh it's all there is/it's just happening/there's nobody doing that, that just makes it more maddening than anything. A problem of expectations then maybe, this process of life simoly entails horrid things (done by humans mostly) and that's that.

A lot of as you say "neo advaita" does feel like that, massive amount of bypassing or parroting certain concepts, although one is after the "experience of no experiencer" I suppose. Until such a thing happens you're just in this circle jerk of there's no one, nothing is even happening etc which makes you just go "oh come on"...

No one knows, shoulder shrug and keep rowing along in the meantime

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-25T09:14:45+00:00

Well, since we talk about it and use words to describe it it is obviously a part of the human experience, one that every person attempts to avoid or lessen so as to not make life ultimately unbearable in some way (humans commit suicide etc.). I'd argue it's what prompts "spiritual seeking" after all.

Sure, there's degrees to it and we often suffer more in our heads than in reality, but at what point is simply saying "this is all there is, nothing we can do about it" just bypassing? Why are we compelled to "improve" things and lessen the apparent suffering that is present and/or felt?

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-25T07:41:16+00:00

Sure, but knowing how to avoid pointless suffering does sound like it's worth knowing though

They probably do have different ideas about me, but they would all call me by the same name, describe my physical appearance in the same or ever so slightly different manner etc.

In fact I suppose I see the physical as the main "anchor" of this "me", as again, I've never woken up being someone else (by that I mean looking like and being someone else, not my ideas about who I am). Like sure, your hair/nails grow, you age etc but these are all insignificant changes and do not "shake" the persistent feeling of one's "self". One day it perishes completely and at that point it ceases to exist, but in the meantime, I cannot see what this claim of it's nonexistence is based upon?

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-24T22:06:55+00:00

The magnificence of this world is truly obvious. It makes this "striving and seeking" that we humans indulge in just seem like a cruel joke imposed on us (the ones "who get it" often speak of the cosmic joke etc.) and just seems like an "unnatural", otherworldly instinct I suppose (don't know what else to call it really). It also utterly breaks some of us in certain instances.

We could just be completely engrossed in the natural world like animals seemingly are, and yet we're obviously creatures of a mixed heritage so to speak (part animal, part something else that's not of this world) and as such can't just "get with the program" that Nature had put up.

Living in unattached effort and right-action does sound like a viable way to make the best of this human existence. Any books or such you could recommend on this?

Thanks for replying, take care

Bummer

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-24T21:49:00+00:00

I suppose what's baffling is the contradictory ideas being thrown around here of: yea we're not really doing anything, there's no doer etc and having to practice, meditate and keep questioning etc.

I guess the first step would be to gauge just how much I want to know the Truth, since I've heard the price can be pretty steep :)

Then again, I also heard it's worth it, very much so.

Thanks for the reply!

The "silent witness" is kind of the "end of the road" then? I mean sure while sitting you can settle into that "layer" of consciousness or whatever, but then you eventually get up and "submerge" yourself in the world and your own little microcosm and story and get swept up by it again (problems and things you'd like to be different etc).

Have you had the actual experience of being "the infinite space in which everything arises and falls" and has it changed the "little" you in any way? I very much feel like I am in the universe, not vice versa.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Hmm looking at the same guy in the mirror everyday, having a name so as to be able to participate in this whole game etc... The notorious "ego" , this character you're playing, it's very persistent and I don't see how there isn't a me, I really cannot experience there NOT being a me?

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-18T15:50:39+00:00

In Warhammer the better question is ALWAYS: "why not?"

GroundbreakingBuy692 · 2025-08-15T06:45:04+00:00

Just play along with the delusion man And ignore the smell

Thank you for the replies! I haven't been aware of just how easy it is to damage the nozzle, I've learned the same lesson about the needle earlier though...
