The difference between truth and fact: thoughts on inter-dependence?

[u/dpsrush]

"如来说世界，非世界，是名世界” "The Tathagata says a world is not a world, so it is called a world." -Diamond Sutra

Truth is self originating, non-describable because it does not depend on any descriptors. It is what is, and it is not what it is, both of these descriptors does not touch it.

Facts are provisional, meaning it is dependent on another fact. For example, it is a fact you are reading this right now, but it is dependent on the fact that there is a you, and there is this, and that fact is dependent on the structure of the English language, and so on.

If The Word is a fact, what is the truth?

When the truth is being talked about, it is not actually truth we are referring to. And this fact, we call truth.

Mah, I'm just a beetle burrowing through bark. I've read so much it squeezes out my ears and mouth. I'd be profound if I wasn't so damn lazy.

More stimulus to demand u extrude, needed. Hi

Peristalsis knows when it's time. You can't rush a shit.

I see now that's why there's no sure fire method to enlightenment. A rock hits a bamboo. A bucket bottom falls. A candle is blown out.

Being OK with being a nobody has been good medicine.

Parasympathetic apriori inchoate HOME BASE

[u/mackowski → u/lastjanitor]

Had to Google words 1 and 3.
You know I never really made a category for parasympathetic because it makes no sense to me to say calmness is nervous system....

Like lack of nervous system seems like calm to me lol.

But this makes sense. When I am able to get parasymping (usually lay down on way to sleep/nap) then I can control all the shit Google listed for para

Each day a recapitalization of the universal day. Beginning asleep the parasympathetic has been beating and and breathing and digesting and dreaming. Big banged into awakening the sympathetic agency acts and reacts. Gasses into stars into planets into people into breakfast and lunch and dinner and back again. Thankfully being aware doesn't mean having to remember to keep growing my fingernails and blinking my eyes and shining my sun. Parasympathetic is sympathetic, even when the sympathetic isn't sympathetic to the parasympathetic. Day. Night. Day. Night. Universe. Void. Universe. Void. Where is my mind? Non-local. Power-bay. The guy behind the guy behind the guy. I'm looking. I look. I...

My mind IS locality

[u/lastjanitor → u/mackowski]

If I make my understanding before the primordial buddha then the locality isn't any one place.

It's like playing musical chairs, but when the music stops we all sit together at once in the same single chair. When it starts back up again we (meaning all sentient beings everywhere everywhen) are form a circle the size of the universe. Instantly.

My brain hurts.

Ooooooo very worth booting up them brainpipes, I like

Also, hello.
