Hell - is a state of mind. And - and the only thing you can take with you when you die.

Think about it ... if there is some sort of afterlife, between physical lives ... what else would constitute 'you' other then content and habits (including emotional habits) of your mind.
Consider the implications.... And what better motivation for working on your sh**t rather then others sh**t.

We can postulate, but we really don't know. All of our physical senses can be deceived easily, the illusive world we live in begs more questions than answers, and if answers arise they can be questioned.

No one can 'become' enlightened.
'Become' is in time. 'Being' is what there IS.
There isn't really any time for someone to do something - there is only ever what is happening.

It comes and goes in waves.
First there is a mountain, and then there is no mountain.
Remind me again, which mountains have disappeared that can be quantified in our Human existence on this planet?
It's a quote from the Tao Teh Ching.
It's just a poetic metaphor.
In the common speak, it is something along the lines of "Sometimes sh!t happens."

And yet all someones 'do' things, and that is what is 'happening' (in the temporal thought world of 'happenings').

There maybe the appearance of 'someones' doing but there is not actually any one separate doing anything!!

This is profound to think about, but we're kinda back into dualities. Changing vs Unchanging.
Reality would be whatever we perceive at this particular moment, would it not?
And reality would be subjective, so who actually get to decide which reality is right or wrong?
