I enjoy my livelihood. There was a time when I wanted to be a monastic, when I was quite young. Today, the idea of having so much free time to formally sit and meditate isn’t appealing to me. Is there any job that isn’t an impediment? Sure. Security. If you’ve got a good client, like an energy provi...

Could be dry skin? Dandruff?

A perception which arises and ceases dependent on the breathing diaphragm. Within the family one can be the husband, an uncle to the inlaws kids, a grandfather, to another 3rd generation . How do you respond to all these as who. It has to be one . This response comes through vingnana arising from r...

A perception which arises and ceases dependent on the breathing diaphragm. Yes. If you are drowning can you think like that? It depends how well I’ve paid attention to the location. Maybe you think I’m referring to in and out breaths? I’m really just referring to the location and the nervous energy...

I got out yesterday. Lost track of time. Can’t say.

But the teaching of illusion is a prompt to seek escape and only applies in the long-term. Escape itself relies on a non idealistic view of the world. You have to accept that the sense perceptions are real first, in order to escape their attraction later. I think that’s a mistake. Orthodox Theravad...

LUKE 5:32

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Thank god I’m righteous I suppose.

What is the historical significance of all these overlaps? Only whatever significance you want to give to them.
