Introduction
Nice to see you have excitement of topics and people that also dwell daily either enraptured, intoxicated, plagued or terrified by the same.
Here's to you keeping your goosebumps on the things you find exciting and tolerance for the things/topics you don't
Ghosts... in my experience of the phenomena it is like a video game that has check points or a writing software that auto-saves and a combination of
both. In compassion the consciousnesses get covered in various ways... kinda like in the biography of Siddhartha Gautama trying to hide death from his
son so it would not pain his heart like it did his own and distract him from death having had occurred.
Death didn't exist to him for who knows how long? The distraction existed for who knows how long? When seeing what one didn't understand of even
grasp? How long before the concept of death became reality like becoming un-stoned from seeing Medusa the Gorgons head? Of course how long before he
could see or tell his father, that his mother was never dead that entire time since such a thing was never previously encountered or known?
If he identified such an illusion as Maya as the sickness that comes from the ignorance of not knowing then both he and his father were struck by it
at the same time of not knowing the alive and or dead part and when it occurred it was at two completely different times.
If there is a monkey constantly picking fruit not from their own garden, then a hollow stump and an apple inside knowing they are watching for it will
catch them red handed with diligence, vigilance, and patience. That time it takes for them to learn to drop it instead of habitually grabbing it and
running is the same as the Gautama story.
ADD attention deficit disorder I suppose is the common theme in both... and the goal in slight of hand and slight of eye games that will eventually
come to an end in what has been built and what has been destroyed in and on a continual basis... and the grasping of all those hands the stepping of
all those feet in the intentions action are meaningless in reality and belief at the same time.
I have sat in meditation so long I have seen the "shadow self" and also statues move and even the spirit dwelling in them get up and walk around...
some of those thing and some of those things are and are not solid. In the Japanese science study of philosophy religion and ancestor worship... it is
nimmita or a gas... and emission at either end that leads leaves drags off or brings up.
Such a thing is my current study and or filter... both of those things are dead when grasped by one of consciousnesses. As the simultaneous born...
the patent office has many caes of an idea coming to fruition at the same time, and their requirements to "hog" or get greedy with it for a time frame
change and vary depending on the time and place they occur... a known is a given.
Denying ignorance the motto of ATS is not pretending that oh yeah yeah yeah this is "new" to a jiva or "pure soul" just to play the game of slighting
eyes and hands to help or aid others in pillaging the village ad infinitum.
The concept of dark matter... they left the light of the world and the heavy shadow is left behind... seeing such a thing? meditate on it it is
someone's first glimpse of nirvana soon you will see the person like they cannot see and like a deft master one can strike a mighty blow putting them
safely across to freedom.
I don't suggest trying such a thing without knowing how... but it can be done and it can be taught and it can be learned. Finding one's one? Nearly
impossible as other continue slight of eye and slight of hand the Gautama Buddha refereed to those people as "Pitiable" in their ignorance of not
knowing but ignorantly thinking they do.
