life is not something you do but something you are. Each moment it creates you. Life uses us as its instrument of creation.

On the final period of the teachings of the Buddha: Enlightenment can be explained to be as just an awareness that we are always in this here and now. It is not something attainable or something that can be lost. We all exist in the present moment so, for each of us, it is always there whether we are aware of it or not. The Life Span of the Buddha implies that this Buddha-Nature like the present moment always IS. One’s Buddha nature is just an embodiment of this NOW which is always and forever just partaking of the aspect of abiding. This can be styled to be as everlasting and permanent. It is not only the Buddha who has this vast lifespan but also fundamentally the root base nature of all beings. We all possess the Buddha nature hence we all fundamentally have this equivalent Life Span. Shakyamuni’s resources come from his enlightenment. Enlightenment is fundamentally at harmony with all of reality. It does not give way to misunderstandings that arise from craving attachments to the world which cannot be overlooked by ordinary beings. Such as this is, enlightened resources are perfectly dynamic and unrestricted in their interactions and interrelations. The enlightened faculty of every being has equivalent resources at its disposal. Just like Shakyamuni, through the teachings of the Lotus Period we can draw from the resources of the Bodhisattva’s of the Earth. Thank You

From a friend. On higher human potential and the Transcendence of maslows hierarchy. Behavioral scientist Abraham Maslow's work on the Hierarchy of Needs was somewhat accepted by Psychology, and much was soundly rejected; as the ego-centric could not accept that his Self-Actualization was merely a stepping stone to a Higher Level of Human Potential called Transcendence. As Maslow understood it, Transcendence was the very highest and most holistic level of human consciousness. This level consciousness transcended basic needs, culture, ego esteem, positives and negatives, and even Space-Time constructs. Among Abraham Maslow's friends and collaborators was Dr Clare Graves, whose Human Evolutionary Development model (now called Spiral Dynamics) complimented Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. These two were "open to learning at any time and from any source, like bees that gather nectar from many flowers." Some of the greatest misperceptions of the Graves Model, and Becks Spiral Dynamics interpretation came from their failure to recognize that not only can Levels be skipped, but it is much easier to skip from SD-4 or SD-5 to SD-7, than going from SD-6 to SD-7. Level 6 ... which Beck called 'Green,' is the worse, ego-centric consciousness of all Evolutionary levels. "The person operating at the 6th level must realize that everything that human beings have ever believed in, is by and large, wrong." Dr Clare Graves. Dr Clare Graves said, " the 6th level of thinking (those who desire a tribal container) are an attack upon nature and Nature's Laws, that should be around for the shortest period of time of any of the lower ways of thinking that we have had" All Spiral Dynamics groups that I'm aware of are closely controlled by Level 5 and 6 personalities ... thus an impediment to Higher Human Potential. "Less than one in a hundred people become fully self-actualized (SD-7) because our society rewards motivation primarily based on esteem" - Dr. Abraham Maslow. Integration of Yin and Yang is best during SD-4 and SD-5 ... the Community paradigm of SD-6 IS NOT the next Buddha, but a most difficult and needless Stepping Stone trap consumed within a pluralist delusion that views Higher Human Potential as a threat to their Anarcho-Justice Warrior Community, Regressive Left autocracy, Oligarchical Collectivism, participatory trophies, and Woke agenda. Beck solidified the (Green) misperception of an upward hierarchical manner of development. In other words his disastrous short-sightedness in that we do not skip levels. On the contrary, not only can Levels be leaped, but it is essential to realize that SD-6 must be leaped, or one becomes consumed within a pluralist delusion that views Higher Human Potential as a threat to their Tribal, Community meme. Dr. Clare Graves said, "this theory is a systems conception of personality which may be able to integrate everything that has been put down in the literature about human behavior." Thus, Gabrielle Roth's Five Rhythms overlays without contradiction. World Peace will NEVER come by way of forced community ... but by individuals taking the Momentous Leap to Self-Actualization and Transcendence. "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of your self." - Lao-Tzu, Huahujing

You are not a slave to "human nature." In fact there is no such thing as human nature. What we call human nature is really nothing other than habit energy. I think it would be more accurate if we called it that because human nature carries a sense of something that can't be changed or is inescapable. So there's a lot of human action that gets excused by that term. "Oh we can't avoid war, hatred, exploitation, superiority complexes etc. Because it's human nature. " No it's habit energy carried on through generations in the mental, emotional, social, and environmental conditioning which shapes the individual, their beliefs, and views through culture. While at the same time the culture is shaped by individual points of view. When we call it habit energy we see that those acts that are destructive to the self/ other are indeed a choice although unconscious to many. There's always the option for redemption you are not a slave to it. image

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. image

To be free from attachment to desires is the greatest freedom. That doesn't mean don't desire, it just means to let go/ let life lead when things don't go as intended. image
