The power ultimately rests within, and to come to terms with
oneself takes quite a bit of time.
Meditation as a tool to enlightenment works, but you can
also use it to manifest greater things, you can imagine yourself on a beach
somewhere or in paris and a year down the road it can happen. Much of
meditation is also gearing you up to quantify yourself with tools needed to
carry yourself through life, you feel awkward and uncomfortable with the world
and bam you meditate and a bit of time passes and you begin to feel a sense of
calm and respite. Many of the mainstream religions believe that meditation is a
tool of the devil but they also believe you are sinning when you masturbate so
who knows, no saving them lol in a porn induced society they need to wake up.
You would think Catholicism would have learnt by now that
celibacy is not the route to enlightenment, it brings greater lust and need to
the body, judging by all the priestly sex scandals (quite a few in my country)
you would think they would wake up by now and rescind that quality of their
ordained ministers. But even Buddhism has its flaws as well on the other end of
the spectrum, also preaching celibacy of its monks. I think a monks life would
be filled with even more questions however I heard because catholic priests
have no way to output their energy (through meditation) it manifests itself in
the most grotesque of actions on the part of their priests.
Not saying anybody wouldn’t find any sort of enlightenment
in the mainstream faiths, I just have not belonged to anything that would make
me enact rituals.
Personally I want the power to come from within, not some
external force, a society as you can tell is a very complex mechanism, and you
throw in capitalism into the spiritual force and people that have more believe
they are more divine in a sense, this is one of the major flaws of materialist
nature I have witnessed in others is because I have a teevee, three beds, a car
and a dvd player 3 couches and I am more than you- I belong more than you, I am
more divine.
I have always looked at Buddhist monks as a method to
living, not living with vast amounts of things but also the simplicity they
broadcast is amazing in itself. But of course one of the major philosophies of Buddhism
is they cannot survive without some people in the system generating money to
give to them to live off of.
In my travels I have found some exceptions on the monk thing
like in some sects in the west a monk is able to handle money and drive a car
but in the more conservative domains they are strictly meant to be a recluse or
an exile.
I have been doing quite a bit of work in the virtual world
of second life on my stores, enhancing the traffic count-much like google
search and making them more appealing, offering a rebate program for multiple
purchases, renewing my affiliate program and policing my stores which have
higher amounts of people in them, along with running giftcard lotteries and
raffles
Anyways not much up so I wanted to write a short discourse
on my thoughts the first one of 2013
Thanks blogbuddies
