Spirituality Revealed

It’s about time that someone exposed the Dalia Lama. I was just
investigating his role with the CIA a couple weeks ago regarding his ties
to the Naropa institute, etc – which ties directly to the Greenwich Village
team of MKULTRA – (Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs, etc). Once we realize that
“mysticism is the tool of tyrants” – we can wake up and realize how these
con artists run things. Excellent job, Stefan!

Fuck the lama and fuck the pope. They never get any pussy, don’t have any
real productive jobs but want to give their 2cents on issues relating to
the general public. Fuck these weirdo idiots. 

Didn’t the dalai lama come out recently and state he is a socialist, and
believes in a socialist ideology or organization as being the best way to
run things? Kind of funny considering his conflicts with the state and the
historical state of affairs with his homeland. This situation reminds me
of a quote.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
VI Lenin

Good Stuff. I was initially attracted to Buddhism for things the scientific
things the Buddha taught but aren’t represented in Buddhism today. Buddha
didn’t teach reincarnation & rebirth is not reincarnation. The Seals of
Buddhism are much more important than the noble truths. That all things
lack an “inherent” existence & are conditional differs in no way from
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle (if understood). After years in Buddhist
circles I’ve learned the best book on Buddhism is “The Emperors New Clothes
(sarcasm). It’s unfalsifiable – but worse, it’s a trick. Thinking, Fast &
Slow by Daniel Kahneman validated for me what I learned meditating. It’s an
inefficient or at least inappropriate use of your mental capacity. Sure,
you want to learn to not respond emotionally to stimuli. But in reality,
there is one part of your brain that you use for things like, Idk math
problems, & another which is more automatic, like driving on the highway
while having a conversation. Meditative practice aims to replace the
automatic with the deliberate in places where it isn’t needed. It’s
impossibly tedious for one, & again inefficient. Instead of doing walking
meditation (lift, step, place) I learned I could be using that time to
think about other things, like tomorrow’s sales pitch. My base brain, knows
how to walk all by itself. How bout that.

MAN RICHARD GEER IS GONNA BE SO PISSED AT THIS

I want to see a world where everyone becomes Buhdist. Then we can all stand
there with begging bowls looking at each other, waiting for a
handout, hoping we can can go back to staring at our sphincters for the
rest of the day with our free bowl of rice.

That will also fix the “human problem” because we will all starve to death
in 5 minutes but thats ok because we will be spritually sated and the
planet will be saved…… Basically passengers like Lama man only exist
thanks to the graces of ordinary people who live ordinary lives, the guy is
a snake oil merchant and his followers are fkn suckers.

Objective reality rules. What a grand talk. Fabulous. Listen. 

Molyneux likes to throw the term “objective” around. I think we need to be
careful and critical of this. Epistemology is based on human involvement
and experiences, therefore inevitably subjective. We are not transcendent,
always immanent.

Stefan, why don’t you do a series on special, inspiring, individuals, that
have contributed, substantially, to humanity, and that have led lives of
integrity, honesty, and fit the bill of the likes of those that have been
revered for these qualities by many, but that you have revealed to us all,
are not what, or who, we thought they were. We all need people that
inspire us. Of course, no one but ourselves can fulfill our higher destiny.
Yet, to know there are those that have walked through hell to bring to this
world a little bit of heaven, makes the most difficult road one can pursue
in this life, the road less travelled, as one writer put it, a little less
lonely, and a little more possible. Peace

Thank you for this it is so needed people have been brainwashed by these
evil anti christ pricks and they have strong connections to rome because
that is where all the roads lead.

Because of my involvement in Buddhism in the past and their quite plausible
marketing strategy to portray themselves as in alignment with western
sciences and therapies, I have maintained a certain affection for Buddhism.

I think I am as guilty of cherry picking from Buddhism as western
psychology has been. The Buddhist discouragement of *watering the seeds* of
negative emotions, because this increases their occurrence, aligns nicely
with psychology’s discovery that *venting* effectively increases the
unwanted emotion through practice. I saw the phrase *mindfulness* in the
title of a class at my workplace; this is also a Buddhist concept, that
happiness can only be found in the present because neither the past, nor
future exist and therefore time spent ruminating about either is less time
appreciating the present. This seems harmless, but it doesn’t encourage
release from the preoccupation of the past, or future through examination
and understanding, but merely encourages training to ignore it through will
power.

Years ago, I spent a month in Plum Village, the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich
Nhat Hanh’s retreat in the Bordeaux region of France. As far as I could
tell, all of the visitors were westerners and it was noticeable that none
of Buddhism’s mystical, or supernatural roots and beliefs were ever
mentioned. Periodically, throughout the day, a bell was rung, at which
point everyone, regardless of what they were doing, was expected to be
still and quiet and meditate upon their breathing and experiences at that
moment. We would also do a lot of silent walking around the nearby forests
and meditating until sunset; sometimes it was very beautiful and moving. I
remember returning feeling very calm and relaxed. However, I lived in the
centre of London, so it didn’t last long. Despite having moved on from that
phase in my life, I still see some value in some of the simple practices
that were taught there. 

“Why are these people poor?” “because they did something bad in their past
lives.” Boom! Justified!
“Why are you rich?” “because I did something good in my past life.” Boom!
Justified!
The rich and powerful loooove the idea of Karma. Why woudn’t they use their
toy (the mass media) to sell it to the public?

this was very interesting. It explains so much as to how bullsht, religious
leaders truly are.

hang on .. just paused you Stefan while i go make a cup of tea ,,,, 10 mins
later….. thats it got tea and i also made myself some toast , carry on 

unbelievable when you have the eightfold path one the one hand and this
deprived society on the other

tried to persuade my Buddhist Meditation group to watch this last night..
but they thought that a talk by Ajahn Brahn on Fear would be much more
inspiring.. and they were right.. i strongly recommend that people watch
that on YouTube to see how Stefan unfortunately sometimes here misses the
point of Buddhism..
