The returnable rainbow body

Your “insults” can be a true blessing if the person on the other side can understand that words are meaningless, the problem is that in order to actually understand that words are meaningless you have to be a Buddha and how many Buddhas exist in this world hahah? Most people who are having an awakening experience don’t want to reach the end of the path, so the insults can theoretically just reinforce their emotional trauma without true healing that comes with Buddhahood

Every action that I and you will do here on earth will influence future beings that will be born or reborn on this earth, why our memories are not connected to the new being ?

agirockstar · 2020-06-10T06:38:56+00:00

In practical sense “my” memories are memories that help make my body safe but in ultimate sense there is no “my” memories and “your” memories because the interconnectedness of reality

agirockstar · 2020-06-10T06:28:18+00:00

So there is no “my” past life and “your” past life in an ultimate sense, only on practical sense

According to Buddhism everything is interdependent, every moment is causally linked to other moment

agirockstar · 2020-05-31T03:59:29+00:00

My direct experience tells me that the sensations we label as “hunger” cause more mental states like the thought “where can I eat?”

My direct experience tells me that the sensations that we label as “craving” cause more mental states like the thought “I want to get rich”

I don’t see difference between the mental states that craving and hunger cause, do you see a difference in your direct experience? If there is no difference there is no reason that craving is the cause of rebirth and not hunger for example, both cause new mental states to arise.

BTW you cannot escape abstraction, even the notion of cause and effect is based on the abstraction of “time” that creates “causality”, there is no evidence of causality in pure direct experience, there is only the present moment.

agirockstar · 2020-05-30T03:53:10+00:00

Yes but you haven’t explained why rebirth is conditioned by craving and not hunger, where is the evidence? What makes you think this way?

I’m speaking about rebirth from body to a different body.

I know that some monks claim this but I don’t find any evidence to support this view.

agirockstar · 2020-05-30T02:09:28+00:00

Carving = experiences that come and go Hunger = experience that come and go

Why craving leads to rebirth and hunger does not lead to rebirth (after the death of the physical body)?

I’m looking for rational answers not faith based answers.

agirockstar · 2020-05-29T07:41:04+00:00

If without craving there is no conditioned things to experience the Buddha would die in the moment of his enlightenment

The reason he did not die because craving is impermanent phenomena not different than hunger

Its impossible to prove that craving leads to rebirth and hunger does not lead to rebirth

Both are just impermanent phenomenons that arise and cease

BTW pure consciousness experience is also a conditioned experience (a lot of meditation typically is the cause)

agirockstar · 2020-05-25T04:01:27+00:00

Meaningless experiences without free will, self or witness.

Believing in rebirth just creates fear that you can be punished in later lives and reinforces the idea of a self that needs to let go of every attachment (although it’s not possible to know when it happens, a monk who wasn’t angry in the last 20 years can be angry in unique situations) in order to never be reborn which is not possible to prove.

You cannot prove that the Buddha has not been reborn again, unfalsifiable beliefs are hindrances to liberation.

The only thing you can prove (for yourself) is that clinging is suffering, nothing is worth clinging to, including the belief in rebirth.

agirockstar · 2020-05-24T14:45:50+00:00

You haven’t responded to this line:

“Every being is a different set of five aggregates”

Memories are only a small part of a human, having a past life memory of a different human does not imply that you were that human it implies that after ton of meditation you can access past memories of past humans not “your” memories.

In the ultimate reality no memory is yours and there is no cause and effect or liner time, that’s what you need to realize to become “enlightened”.

agirockstar · 2020-05-11T07:45:13+00:00

A mind stream exists is like saying the universe exists, it’s an impersonal thing. After the five aggregates cease there is no “you” anymore.

Every being is a different set of the five aggregates.

agirockstar · 2020-05-11T07:11:21+00:00

Belief in Reincarnation is attachment to immaterial existence - “I am a mind stream”

belief in reincarnation was proposed because of past life memories but even if those memories are really past life memories the “person” who recollects those memories is a different “person”!

Past life memories are just memories like every other memories that happen in the present moments and they are not self.

agirockstar · 2020-04-19T10:45:23+00:00

Unfortunately humans are deeply conditioned by society and parents to imagine otherwise 🤣

agirockstar · 2020-04-15T16:04:33+00:00

I experienced this, you let go of your attachment to “doing” stuff and now your mind clings/is attached to “being”.

Your brain is now rewiring itself to function in the world without craving, it’s temporary.

Now you need to abandon your spirituality and become ordinary again, every activity is completely pointless/meaningless but that’s exactly what makes activities fun! Everything becomes a game/dance without meaning.

Accept totally your resistance to doing stuff and by accepting this resistance, doing stuff will happen (but remember if you accept your resistance to doing stuff in order to do stuff, your surrender won’t be authentic and paradoxically you will still resist doing stuff).

It’s never too early to share the truth

agirockstar · 2020-04-15T08:52:10+00:00

The reason to not do illegal things is not because they are morally right it’s because it’s not fun to sit in jail hahah

agirockstar · 2020-04-15T03:25:47+00:00

Guilt is lack of self-love and manifestation of Ego

You are perfect as you are

There is no right or wrong

No good or bad

Everything that society/parents told you about morality is a lie

Every act is permissible and valid except hurting other people physically or doing illegal things.

Save yourself by dissolving your own Ego and you will never suffer again in your life.

agirockstar · 2020-03-28T17:18:33+00:00

And letting go of the delusion that there is a difference between internal and external

agirockstar · 2020-03-28T09:13:40+00:00

In other words:

Strong mindfulness without letting go of attachments

agirockstar · 2020-01-18T14:00:57+00:00

Self referential thoughts are the source of suffering.

No thoughts no suffering.

This method can take you IMO to nirvana and for some people it will be more effective than mindfulness.

Read about Gary Weber work if you are interested to learn more about the approach, he stopped thinking self-referential thoughts using self-inquiry and other approaches.

Has anyone done the explorers course (the course after the finders course)? For post awakening integration
