Hi Gk, see you got hooked on politics, JK, Have an intresting question to ask you, If the killing is against the soul, how could generations of samurai tryed to achive enlightenment through bushido (the way of the varior),in fact many zen masters were samurai?
yes... krime..
and what was theintention of the samauri.. to reach enlightenment or to kill...?
When ONE becmes sigularly focused they experience "enligtenment" (samdhi)..
IT does not matter what the activity is... it can be eating.. fooking.... breathing (although breathing is very special ACTIVITY in iteself) smoking weed, jerking off, fighting, knitting... whatever
Usually this singular focus can only happen through great great great practice and discipline, or or or or or NEAR death/ fighting for your life / accepting immenant death experiences.... a surrender (of ego)!!!
EITHER WAY, the MIND must STOP working and something we'll CALL AWARENESS, shifts from the chatter of the mind to the PRESENT moment.. or LIGHT... this is ZEN..
Here is where it gets kind of weird...
only 2 things can move at the speed of light
1. light
2. everything
if just a single object moves at the speed of light, it turns into light.... but if everything moves at the speed of light. everything just stays the same...
are you with me..
YOU can only see what you ARE.... if you identify with YOUR thoughts which gives ONE the illusion of FALSE identity(AWARENESS pointed at MIND) you can not move at the speed of LIGHT (experience enlghtenment).... BUT when you switch your awareness away from the MIND (mind is in TEMPORAL SPACE), ONE realizes that they are everything and ONE experience LIGHT.. or the trancendence of time...
The way of the samuri
This is why it is not good to lie, steal, kill, etc.. not because it is immopral or wrong.. but because it breeds endless chatter in the mind and prevents one from becoming ENLIGHTENED ... it is just as bad to lie as it is to accuse one of lying.. it is all mental chatter.... it preserves the fals IDENTITY "HE LIED TO ME" lol BOLLOCKS!!!!
Einstein and Yogananda have written about this.... with far greater clarity than myself...
many people beieve this to be the greates warrior who ever lived
