“IMPULSIVENESS AND THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL

Many of the decisions that addicts make, particularly the harmful decisions, are impulsive. Impulsive behavior occurs when too much value is placed on immediate pleasure and not enough on long-term consequences. Desire dopamine overpowers the more rational parts of the brain. We make choices that we know are not in our best interest, but we feel powerless to resist. It’s as if our free will has been compromised by an overwhelming urge for immediate pleasure; perhaps it’s a bag of potato chips when we’re on a diet, or splurging on an expensive night out that we can’t really afford.”

Why do so many enlightened people claim we don't really exist? What is the basis for such a statement?

Rinzai, Zen master got enlightened.

And the first question which he asked everybody, “Where is my Body?”

People who were standing there, thought he has become mad!

They said, “We can see you, can't you see your body?”

He said, “No, where is my body?”

When “I” dies body dies, mind dies and you will literally feel no body.

So when “I” has dissolved then yes you don't exist.

This is the pure realization.

Is meditation a way to have an audience with the nature and the universe?

Meditation is a death, and all yogic and meditative activities only prepare you for that.

Death of what exactly ?

Everything that you think you are.

Good, Bad, Small, Big - anything really. It’s the death of all that.

When the karmic structure is released, liberation is achieved.

But liberation is only the beginning of the journey, it’s endless.

We never stop learning, in fact we learn more.

Each day, day by day, we keep growing.

Into that which is already here.

That which is already here, is the freedom you have been looking for many « lifetimes ».

That is the only thing you should focus on, the rest is only secondary.

It’s a grace, God gives it to you when you are ready.

When you are ready to die, it is here.

But don’t worry, you won’t regret it in any way.

After all, living as a person was kind of boring wasn’t it ?

New death = New life.
