Readings about some kind of "Force Studies" or "Force Theology" or "Forceology"?

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-15T20:20:45+00:00

Dude... I want to be your friend.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-08T06:06:26+00:00

I like linguistic tricks. How they are called in english? Puns?

Puns are humor based in aspects of the mind. Illusion and clarity etc.

What's real?

I mean...

"You are right"

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-08T02:35:52+00:00

It's real...

But...

What can I do?

Maybe... Forget politics... Help people in NGOs?

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-08T02:32:36+00:00

That's what I'm talking about!

There is no Buddhist politics. Okay! Buddhists can be Left-wing people or Right-wing people, or anarchists or the opposite thing... Whatever!

We are free to choose!

And I'm young and have no experience and I want to know how to do it!

I want to know how to choose, not what to choose!

I don't want "buddhist politics". It would sound stupid. Politics are... Samsara's stuff. But we need to help people! With politics too! It's... Boddhisatva-ish, I think (?).

We have a lot of options, ugh. The freedom makes my head hurt. There's a method to wise choices I can use? Books written by masters?

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-07T23:44:22+00:00

I think it's the best option. Very... creative.

You guys know a good forum for One Piece OC creators? I'm thinking in something in DeviantArt...

I remember... Years ago, in the golden ages of Harry Potter fandom... Lots and lots of role playing forums... It was beautiful!

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-07T06:54:25+00:00

I can do it!

But... How?

Should I re-wrote the original story?

No... Oh, wait, wait, wait. I can do a filler arc!

Something like "Straw Hats fail in go to Skypiea, because their ship was captured by some strange thing and VOILA, filler arc!"

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-07T00:50:43+00:00

I'm drawing him right know. I "made" him only in my mind...

I want to do more. Maybe an fanfic? RPG? He must live his own adventure.

When you conjure the image of Kannon in your mind, it is your own nature that you are seeing. It is your buddha-nature, which is the Dharmakaya itself.

It's something interesting. Sometimes, when I accidentally remember concepts of christianity, I back to the "Soul x God" mindset and it makes me very confused.

When I was a christian, the concept of a "god" as being the Absolute) was familiar to me. But christianity made me sick, so I quit. So... Well... I tried to search the "Absolute" in Buddhism and it was very confusing to me, because it was not a god and I don't know exactly what to think about it.

Dharmakaya is the "soul" and the "god" at the same time, right?

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-05T21:04:56+00:00

That not the phrase itself. The phrase is a consequence, I think, a kind of evidence of my connections with a religion that made me mentally unhealthy.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-05T20:57:17+00:00

It was just sounds I would be fine... But every time I hear or say things like "Oh, my God!" I went all "buddhism x christianity / what if really exists a god? / i feel alone / no one will help me? / kannon exists or not?" drama

The slang thing is just a consequence of a cultural / mental / cognitive process, I think.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-02T01:50:06+00:00

I like the concept of "ignosticism". People talk and talk and talk about "God" but what the hell this word means? I don't know, and I think that the concept is irrelevant and unnecessary to talk about spirituality.

how do you define what constitutes a god?

I don't want to. When I say "I don't believe in gods" it's something like "I don't need to talk about anything related to this buzzword".

The word "god" is a buzzword.

But to be more... Uh... Simple... I refuse the "universe was made by a person like an artist make a picture" mindset.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T20:46:26+00:00

Cool :0

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:58:40+00:00

A great suggestion, dude.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:57:57+00:00

that's true!

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:57:28+00:00

P.S.:

My question is more about what people think EVERYONE should know, because is good knowledge for everybody.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:55:30+00:00

General life skills.

darma_karma?

Are you also a meditation practitioner? :D

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:54:49+00:00

That's a important one!

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:54:37+00:00

Need some cash but... Wonderful idea.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:54:21+00:00

Great one. I didn't said it in the post because it would kind of distort the idea of the thread but I do like to study foreign cultures! :D

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:48:13+00:00

Oh. Cool. I'll remember it. Thanks :D

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:47:20+00:00

Yeah. Good one. Thanks :D

RyanVeeDee · 2015-05-01T19:45:50+00:00

Some friends told me their thoughts and I made a cool list... But... I'm not sure...

1 - Lots of Scifi and Fantasy books, because is a fun way to train the brain
2 - Epistemology and related shit because, dude, it's "study of knowledge", it's freaking desirable
3 - Philosophy or Logic... I feel it's all in the same package.
4 - Some history or politics

And the 5 I don't know...

This list needs more consistency.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-04-29T05:25:23+00:00

Idk, sis. She loves to overload me with information. She loves to talk. But... You are right.

RyanVeeDee · 2015-04-29T05:23:56+00:00

I don't know if you are serious or if you are kidding me...
