There are MANY Buddhists
who sincerely hope that
if they just believe hard enough that
they have NO “self” then
they’ll instantly become a Buddha.
But they’re mistaken!
Folks, you can’t believe yourself into Nirvana, but
belief {and the neurotic energies generated from
indulging the controlling tendencies that try to wrestle with the
greased pigs that are our thoughts and emotions} could
dig us even even deeper into Samsara.
This, of course, begs the question; "What is Sam-sa-ra?"
No, it’s not a place, but a state of being,
that is to say, whenever we are a slave to
the tyranny of sufferings,
whenever sufferings control our
• choices,
• words and
• actions,
then we’re in Samsara.
Well that sucks, doesn’t it?
Who wants that?
Boy talk about adding insult to injury,
first sufferings hurt,
but then they make us do stupid stuff,
which {yes, you guessed it}
aggravates our present suffering
and creates even more suffering… yuck!
I don’t want sufferings to control me.
And neither do you, that’s
why you're reading my blogs and considering coming to my webinar classes so
that the moment suffering appears in your life, you
could apply Buddha’s techniques:
• spontaneously,
• habitually,
• easily and
• effectively.
When you have accomplished that degree of mastery,
you are then free,
NOT from suffering’s Presence,
BUT from it’s Tyranny and
that cessation of tyranny
is called Nir-va-na.
Folks, Nirvana is accomplished NOT through belief, BUT
through conditioning.
And using Buddha’s mental yogas to
explore our sense of “me” AND then let-go of it, can
be a useful exercise that can
contribute to the spiritual conditioning…
that habit of both being aware AND letting-go while
also choosing to be the loving individual, that
we were born to be.
Come, let us be the people,
that our dogs already think we are.
