Dear list members,
I wrote in a previous post:
>>>P.S. There is something about 'amorality' I want to write, can somebody
get
me riled up by writing something stupid about the Buddhist four noble
truths, the five precepts, the five hindrances and especially the noble
eightfold path?>>>
The reason I ask is that during 40 days after my 960 days of K. I went
through the thralls of great temptations... Like Jesus in the desert with
those devilish temptations, remember?
During those 40 days my bliss, nectar flow and K power was extremely high...
also... I had no feeling of morals, appreciation for rules and codes of
behaviour, I could have done anything, being a socio-path, psycho-path
without the slightest remorse. (Had those 3 angels helping out a bit, at
least looking over my shoulders.) That was the hardest time in my life... I
could easily have flipped the other way...
Anybody ran into that, or something similar?
Siddharta Gautama Shakyamuni, the man we normally call the Buddha, went
through that too. I remember visions during which I was with him. I was also
in a counsel with some of his other followers (5 or 6 all together I think)
and we tried to figure this out. We came up with a scheme... of which now
the *four, five, five, and eight noble somethings* are a derivation.
I do not try to ridicule that, in fact I intend the opposite. There is
something there that is peculiar and very interesting, and I would like to
make contact with that. Maybe some of you have insights that would open some
neat discussion... some pretty daring discussion... Full moon coming up?
Friday the 13th by any chance?
We need to get to a point where those 'noble somethings' become
contemporarily phrased again, not quainty remnants of history with religious
connotations, cloaked in words that do not connect as much as they should
with the current paradigms and worldviews.
Those people (the early Buddhists) had some strange attraction to numbers it
seems :-)
Am in Halifax this weekend, at some show, anybody from Halifax reading this?
Love,
Wim
