Topic: Self and Not-Self

[Endless~Knot]

God what is going on with this forum? Ack! Everytime I go to write it jumps and stuff, weird.

I seek that magical feeling of power, it's difficult to explain, but when I sense it, I go. I sense it here, at New Seers, I sense it at Morning Sons place. Where warriors gather there is power. I like to hang out and share tales of power.

I don't have the patience to open my own board. I'm not wordy enough. I like to join in discussions but I'm not necessarily one to get them started and stuff. Forums take a lot of work. I don't mind moderating one but I don't think I would want to build a forum, go through the  trouble of attracting people, and having to write something each and every day. I prefer to go with the flow of things.

Thanks El.

I'll begin a new thead on Personal Power and Power Spots as this thread doesn't seem the place for it.  When you have time I'd like your input as well as the rest of you cohorts

Well Kris, I reread this thread and I think to myself. "God I'm brilliant!" Really I am! I try to keep a lid on my knowledge. I find I write less nowadays. But when I decide to sit and write and do a thoughtful post, damn I'm just so incredibly amazing. Be in awe of me!

My thoughts today on this are similar. Buddhism proclaims Not self, Hinduism says self. Both have valid arguments, but we may not know til we actually experience death.

CC says we are laid flat and no more. Some say an essence of being laid flat, carries over. But in reality, much ado of what happens when we die is a mystery. However, when it comes to the soul, the self, whatever you wish to call it, I do believe this is something that needs to be developed. This can only be done if one goes on some form of a spiritual path. They have to be involved with something. If they do not, they are in jeopardy of being laid out flat.

But in truth what greets us on the other side? A warm and fuzzy heavenly abode, or a cold and empty infinite? Or nothing at all. Do we take a dirt nap and it's all said and done?

My path is about my life here and now and I develop myself the best I can. In the end, when I go, if I do have a soul developed, it wont matter what Buddhists or Hindus actually say; what will matter is how impeccable I have been , and how I go about getting past that big bird....

To be inpeccable to one's self is freaKin' awesome!

Nice path methinks.

Ellen, the big bird is nothing but a heart filled with everything including you. You already know this!
