Really big things we can't control, happen this way or that: Hurricanes, avalanches, etc. And the sun rises with regularity. Some things we like, some we don't. We call ...[text shortened]... e what it makes happen. To our current or eventual benefit.
Proceed from this primitive idea.
Best regards from Athens, Greece, JS357. I hope you and the ones you love are good!
Sure thing.
To keep up ruining our planet whilst harming each other, all the other sentient beings and everything else in between, is damaging our chances to enjoy a decent life in the future I reckon.
And to keep up distorting reality by cultivating the delusion that this lurking in the darkness King Cobra will kill us instead of conducting clear sight and thus realizing that all we see is a rope on the ground, is damaging our chances to balance quietly in our own nature.
Methinks to believe without knowledge, is just a starting point; to evaluate accurately all the beliefs you hold (and become ready to discard it on the spot), all your sentiments and all your ideas (and erase them on the spot), and cultivate a fragile yet concrete balance between "you" and "the "other" (till you find out on your own that ultimately there is no difference at all between them two, and then discard this knowledge and keep up living normally in our physical world), is a different horse. Not many are eager to cultivate Two Sights although all can, that is.
