To the original poster.
You’ve realized much, but sometimes fewer words are more than many, and for some very damaged indivuduals, some specific fixes may be needed to help them,
This is why Tantra means technique
There are fixes for keeping the attention free of “dreams” to go beneath dreams and mind altogether, yet they are very misunderstood, and most take discipline, something most people don’t desire to pursue being conditioned to an instant reward society.
There are then sudden fixes that can transform one literally, overnight.
Some are handed down by masters and some are discovered accidentally.
Ever see the reality of this universe is that size is an illusion, that things never stop becoming smaller or larger? Like a fractal?
Ever wake up one morning and realize the car and the house across the street are not separate from you, at all?
Ever have fear, anguish as well as joy, excitement banished from you altogether to the point you’re left at the point of no mind… to be in control of what you think?
Did I read about this, or did I lay down next to someone and time the rhythm of my breath to the timing of theirs exactly for 5 or 6 hours… accidentally discovering one of the universe’s greatest secrets? Buddha knew much, but times have changed, and I hope you realize we are now the Buddhas, we are now the ones who will save ourselves.
Could you control your breathing for hours? Not without getting lost…
getting lost in the thoughts of thousands and thousands of others around you that you’ve learned to imitate.
Or is it that an external sound doesn’t allow you to be swept away? Could it be a beat? Could making the breathing a rhythm… open you up to many other rhythms in life that you might have been unaware of for YEARS? For LIFETIMES?
Note: This post doesn’t require reading to truly understand, just as a man said “the tao cannot be taught”
Just as tantra means technique, for a specific reason.
Good luck in your quests, all. But I know a secret, and the difficulty in telling others is that it cannot be spoken.
All is perfect, in the end, you know. Though I may become distracted, realization is a realization: Not a memory, but an understanding.
All is perfect, and nothing more can be done or added.
But for many, a technique is needed. There are gradual methods and sudden, overnight fixes. Guess what you just stumbled on.
