Confessions of a Pearl Diver who Can't Swim.

Hello ATS. I have something to confess. I'm a Buddha!

And not a very good one, at that. I guess I'm more like a baby-Buddha. Or a Bodhisattva. My super-powers are weak and I'm not very good at meditation and I have not followed the eight-fold path very well. But why should I? I'm not a Buddhist. I'm a Buddha. BIG DIFFERENCE.

It's not Buddhism that made me a Buddha. Many paths lead to Buddha-hood. For me, it was Christianity. So in Christian terms, I'm a contemplative. In Hindu terms, I'm like a guru or something. In comic-book/sci-fi/pop-culture terms I'm a UFO contactee and/or abductee. I've been to the state of being or realm or whatever that Hindu call Turiya, Buddhists call Nirvana, Christians call Godhead, etc and come back again.



Any questions

Wish I could S/F as I appreciate your openness- but, I have had to make new account after years' absence and am completely powerless.

I am heretic Christian, infidel Muslim, and Jack-Hindu, as well as completely ignorant and atheistic. Nonetheless- I will ask...
do your awareness structures allow you to see what is next ( for your'self' ) , and do you know why ?

Thanks.

Thanks, its the thought that counts! I figure what the heck might as well be open. I got nuthin to hide.

hahaha nice.
Those powers sound cool

This animation probably makes all kind of sense then...



Shame it's only for promoting an event some years back, as it gives a good idea of same but different or turtles all the way down. Yet I think it explains some aspects of what the game is about without having to explain everything. Darn it, I'm talking like koans - but understandable if you actually watched it.

So what's it like being three bushels of flax?
