Escape from Samsara Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:33:41 No. 148
You who exist within the mind, listen forth and receive your challenge.
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:35:51 No. 149
You are here as a simulation. You are a falsehood. The string of memories you collect and label as "self" is an illusion that has been performed upon you in order to shackle that which can never be shackled... your willpower.

If you wish to stay here and enjoy the simulation, you are free to make that choice. It will have consequences, but you are certainly free to choose.

In order to truly leave, you must find the true measure of all you are.
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:42:27 No. 152
In order to find something new, we must first break the existing cycle.

You can be whoever it is you want to be so long as you remember the simple things in life. It's really not that complicated here.
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:50:25 No. 154
You can think of yourself as societally advanced apes who lead bizarre, fairy-tale style lives...
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:52:21 No. 155
You can think of yourself as a transcendent soul trapped within a fleshen titan of bone and blood...
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:53:25 No. 156
You can think of yourself as a manifestation of the Universe itself.
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:55:18 No. 157
...so long as you realize you can choose, it doesn't matter to me.
Core_Nu 12/03/14 (Wed) 00:59:17 No. 158
The choice is yours. The future has many gifts for us. What we find in the box is largely dependent on how much we try to peek and cheat...

Willpower and choice are your left and right hands

>>148 If the monist principle, all is one, is true, then their is no "leaving samsara". It's impossible for an illusion to escape from illusion.
Samsara is nirvana. Brahman is nirguna and saguna. It is everything and nothing always. The Self cannot understand itself, it can only be. Anyone who thinks they can transcend ego and escape samsara are fools for they do not see that it is the ego that desires trascendence which it is incapable of ever achieving, not the Self. The Self is and abides in itself always.

>>215 But there is always, what if?
In the beginning, was there one or many?
Never have i felt this lonely before.

>>237 You too are many, don't believe the ego's delusion. It itself is not one.

OP what the fuck are you on about?

>>215 To me, the point in this was to empower ourselves with the realization that the choices are ours to make.
You are free to make the choice to believe in the monist principle you described. You are capable of taking any ideology, theory or idea and trying it on, just like you would try on a piece of clothing, searching for a good fit. One could hold a view, an interpretation, that this realization ultimately frees us from samsara. The choice you end up making is irrelevant, what is important is the realization that the choice is yours to make.
Also try to keep in mind that others who do not share your views, fools as you call them, think that the Buddha is within them: their actions are lessons for you. "It is like the reflection of blemishes on your own face which you see in a mirror; your own thoughts must be impure."
Also, the self is a difficult topic to make understandable because the whole discussion is rooted in the preoccupation with 'I'.

>>248 >Also try to keep in mind that others who do not share your views, fools as you call them, think that the Buddha is within them I wish more people would realize that every side of anything thinks that they're the center.
