I did not write this post!!
When I read my old posts I wonder who wrote them.
I can't recall writing some of them.
Is there a conspiracy theory?

Re: I did not write this post!!
But seriously, I know what you mean. I found some of my philosophy essays from university, when I was sorting files on my computer.
I read some of them, and thought "Wow, this guy is way smarter than me!".
Apparently my brain has gotten a lot duller in the 20 years since I wrote them. It's like I'm a different person definitely.

Just an aspect of anatta in practice ...
I know the feeling. But I think the reason why I could write the way I did back then was due to being in a mental and social environment conducive to it.JamesTheGiant wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 7:32 amBut seriously, I know what you mean.

On the other hand, back then, I struggled with some philosophical and other problems that seemed intractable then, but don't seem so now. The grass isn't always greener in the past.

It works the other way, too! The most academically intelligent person I've ever met told me that she often asked herself how some idiot could have got hold of her old books and annotated them...JamesTheGiant wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 7:32 am But seriously, I know what you mean.

Re: I did not write this post!!
This is from one of my first posts on DW:
I have no idea what "meditatin on the true nature of reality" is supposed to mean but I sure was funnier in the pastI tryied a few times been mindfulness cause I don't really know how to do it. I remember once I meditated on the true nature of reality, I think it was the only time I did it right and had like a little revelation. I was like WOW WOW WOW didn't expect this, I wander how an arhant is. Is it how it is suposed to be ?

Greetings Circle5,

Your English skills have certainly improved.

Oh, you're plenty funny --

Blessing your car may cost anywhere from just 12$ to 100$ or even more, depending on the car. The more expensive the car the more expensive the blessing because it takes god more energy to protect it.
But in Russia they are blessing tanks, helichopters, ak-47s, missiles, etc. All sorts of military equipment are individually blessed in Russia so we can never top that.

Not necessarily.That sounds like progress to me!
Some times I learn something by reading my old posts.
