Power, ego, and their misuses. | Blue Entropy
https://blueentropy.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/power-ego-and-their-misuses
If I understand this correctly…. Power, ego, and their misuses. 2010/12/01 – 22:25. I’ve been thinking about the nature of power lately, and what it means with regard to others. There are more than enough arguments over whether or not supernatural beings exist, and, if so, what their natures are. I figure that the more important question is what you do with literal supernatural beings if you have them, since it’s a reflection of what you do with other beings in general. 8221; Both groups operate under th...

At long last, since I’ve had a lot of time to think about it in the meantime, I’m dealing with the subjects of death and rebirth. There is no permanent you. As such, the six realms would be metaphorical states of mind, rather than literal places. As an aside, with regard to forms, I’ve always found the. Compared to the above framework, rebirth in Sukhavati according to the Pure Land viewpoint i...

Walking my admittedly twisted path. | Blue Entropy
https://blueentropy.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/walking-my-admittedly-twisted-path
If I understand this correctly…. Walking my admittedly twisted path. 2010/12/09 – 00:12. I figure I should get around to describing how I practice. I use the usual techniques when I can, but I also have to look beyond them to an extent. Beyond chanting, I’ve had to come up with a few others, some rooted in tradition and some not.

If I understand this correctly…. Zen and Shin, from one to the other. 2010/11/25 – 18:41. Om my f* *ing f* *ing motherf* *ing hamstrings svaha. Counted as a mantra. I ended up on a quest to find something that did work for me, and my encounter with Shin started out as curiosity as to how a branch of Buddhism could end up sounding like Protestant Christianity.
