GM. Embrace the chaos of change to recognize what is changeless! 🌹”Take a look at your life. Think of the things that are so important to you Think of the things that annoy you That disturb you Think of the things that make you happy ... As long as you're dealing with things, they must change. They will never be the same. Nothing is ever the same. Everything must change. Why should you chase after things that change? Don't you see the folly in this? You're wasting your precious life. Then you come back again and again, until you refuse to any longer get involved with this world and you become free!" ~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic) 🌹”Finding the changeless through the changing: "This sutra says that everything is change: "HERE IS THE SPHERE OF CHANGE..." On this sutra Buddha's whole philosophy stands. Buddha says that everything is a flux, changing, non-permanent, and that one should know this. Buddha's emphasis is so much on this point. His whole standpoint is based on it. He says, "change, change, change: remember this continuously." Why? If you can remember change, detachment will happen. How can you be attached when everything is changing and impermanent. Forms change, while the formless, aware presence in which they appear is forever changeless—and, you are That. When you become lost in the world of forms, you forget your true formlessness. The mind becomes hypnotized by the coming and going of the objects it perceives, all while overlooking and forgetting the underlying changeless source of consciousness in which they arise. Remember again and again, the state of the Wise who remain untouched by the external changes, because of their absorption in the changeless Self. Anyone who is centered on someone else - whoever that someone else is - will become frustrated in the end. Become more and more free of others. The more attention given to the transient things of the world the less attention is given to the eternal changeless nature of one’s own spirit, resulting in less peace and more attachment to things that cannot last, further blurring the clarity needed to remain fully awake to what is real. "If an ant can separate a grain of sugar from the heap of sand, why can't you separate your changeless nature from the changing experiences?"-OSHO 🙏💙💙

Grok is getting pretty good not gonna lie. I had it write some essays focused on comparing and finding parallels between buckminster fuller's world game, jason lowery's soft war, and bitcoin. https://x.com/i/grok/share/82QIN85IsZT6BLdIn6WtoZDNV

A monk asked Chan (Zen) Master Hui Hai: Q: How may we perceive our own true nature? A: That which perceives is your own true nature (Buddha Mind); without it there could be no perception!

This was hard to stomach, blackpilled hard, but this is the reality we face. Please watch.

Stillness perfectly reflects. As above, so below.

All I have to say on recent events is this: It's easy to manipulate people into seeing the other as an enemy when governments have control of the information presented to citizens. They have to divide to conquer and dehumanize the other side. People have to be motivated to hatred or belief in superiority through mental, emotional, social, and environmental conditioning. Rarely do the people ever become aware of the atrocities committed in their name by governments. The human family must learn to play cooperative games to survive the insane amount of technological capacity and total lack of wisdom to employ it that we currently have. I think over time bitcoin fixes this because it is a system with 0 monetary entropy. So over time since there is no loss of wealth but only increase as productive capacity increases all people benefit from the advancement equally as their purchasing power increases. Over a long period of time this can change human value systems and unhelpful habit energies as bitcoin transitions individuals into its cooperative game where people aren't incentivized to lie, cheat, and steal to keep up with their loss in purchasing power. This in turn creates abundance over time as we transition from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset which obviates the root cause of the need for one group to claim supremacy of themselves and inferiority of the other to justify why they deserve access to our control over resources and the other doesn't. I'm thinking of course on a 500 year timeliness perhaps longer or shorter depending on how quickly people collectively understand the game that is being presented. How to move from self destructive to cooperative games that can advance us to type 1 on the kardashev scale and beyond. I have faith in humanity to eventually leave these barbaric ways behind and play a more cosmic survival game.
