Yeah, I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of being in a hurry to acheive the goal of the highest level of Sahadhi! lol

"I gave way to delight, as mystics have for centuries when they peeked through the curtains and discovered that this world- so manifestly real was actually a tiny stage set constructed by the mind. We discover abruptly that everything we accept as reality is just social fabrications. - Timothy Leary, 1966

It is important to recognize the power of our emotions--and to take responsibility for them by creating a light and positive atmosphere around ourselves. This attitude of joy that we create helps alleviate states of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. Our relationships with others thus naturally improve, and little by little the whole of society becomes more positive and balanced. -

All such notions as causation, succession, atoms, primary elements...are all figments of the imagination and manifestations of the mind.

Having found no self that is not other, The seeker must find that there is no other that is not self, So that in the absence of both other and self, There may be known the perfect peace, Of the presence of absolute absence.

There is no Mary without a Songbird. There is no Lori without an Ann. There is no Lady without an Ellen, There are no Stars without their fans. The stars need the skies and the skies love the stars so they are as one Below needs above , and love needs but love, and truly knows that the all is itself and itself is the one |

While the Tathagata, in his teaching, constantly makes use of conceptions and ideas about them, disciples should keep in mind the unreality of all such conceptions and ideas. They should recall that the Tathagata, in making use of them in explaining the Dharma always uses them in the semblance of a raft that is of use only to cross a river. As the raft is of no further use after the river is crossed, it should be discarded.
So these arbitrary conceptions of things and about things should be wholly given up as one attains enlightenment.

 vajrakumara, vajrakila however stretched, it might have to catch up with new discoveries of old descriptions.  |
