Rest in Peace, Gyatrul Rinpoche April 9, 2023 My former "guru", Gyaltrul Rinpoche, left his body last night, April 9th, two days after his 98th birthday, April 7th, which is the same day that the Buddha "was born," an imaginary deity, in fact, who never existed. His students are emailing pictures a...

My whole life, I have had trouble understanding "time." Throughout our marriage, Charles will come to me and say: "time is this", or "time is that." He is a real science freak, and interested in all things natural and physic. Last week he came to me again, saying "time is just a conception, a constr...

People are taught to lie about God, and then they start lying about everything else. Believing in God is our original sin. From this, all evil flows.

Love cannot exist among people who are busy telling lies.

Love is telling the truth.

http://rapeutation.com/girlwithplantgrowing2.jpg We must unite human and [cosmic] nature, bind ourselves to the world, regulate unlimited and temporal energy, and progress along the way of harmony. If you have life in you, you have access to the secrets of the ages, for the truth of the universe re...

How crazy do you have to be to attack our thinking processes? It seems plain on its face that those Men who did so in the past were attempting to make us their slaves. What a surprise! Men on huge power trips trying to control everyone to assert the superiority of their own egos. And as usual, I'm s...

If you think about it in terms of our unique human evolution, where we became real humans only about 100,000 years ago during the ice age, exhibiting a remarkable transformation from animal to human unparalleled in natural history, it makes sense that our thoughts appear to be illusory. I am not goi...

The more I dream, the more I suspect that we live in a crazy, wild universe where our minds inhabit practically infinite spaces. I suspect our minds are eternal. I wonder, do plants dream? If not, then why do plants cause us to dream? But I can see hide nor hair of God anywhere. All I see are indivi...

I don’t agree with anything Charles said above. I don’t think the Buddha was illiterate: I assume that if anyone knew how to read, he did, being a prince, and getting what was surely the best education that could be got. And I don’t assume that he was a narcissist who only cared about seeing the ref...

What I am concerned with here is that the Tibetan “tulkus” not be allowed to get away with the incredible spiritual crimes they perpetrated on the Tibetan people throughout many centuries, and the rest of the world for the last century, and continuing to the present day, without experiencing severe ...

Gravity is the strongest force in the universe. Gravity is proof that Nihilism as a philosophy is complete bullshit. Whatever is exploded into particles is preserved, and gathered together again into gravity to explode again into form and matter. Even when galaxies explode, and turn into fragmentary...
