What about Reincarnation?















"What about reincarnation?" one might ask.

Why think about reincarnation in terms of life times?

Consider this: one is reincarnating oneself each moment one allows the mind to define oneself - a body/mind is reconstituted from concentrated mind-stuff!

Welcome

     
    This blog is about expressing the simplicity of genuine freedom, always already here and now.  It's also about how the complicated spiritual theories and practices are unnecesary, since such theorizing only tightens the mind's grip on perception and cognition, and practices only serve to reinforce the seeker.  
   What you will find here is an irreverent,  ironic and humorous approach to the misconceptions around enlightenment.  The purpose of this blog is to ignite a cosmic chuckle.   
     A skeptic said "All this Zen stuff is nonsense." - "You are perfectly correct," responded the master, "But this is a teaching I normally reserve only for my most advanced students."  (Sengai)

Quotes

Some men refuse to recognize the depth of something because they demand that the profound manifest itself in the same way as the superficial. A.T. Nicolas

****
There is no dissolution, no birth, none in bondage and none aspiring for wisdom, no seeker of liberation and none liberated. This is the Absolute Truth.
Mandukya Karika 11.32
****
Do not meditate - be!
Do not think that you are - be!
Do no think about being - you are!
Ramana Maharshi

****
I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside! Rumi

***
Liberation is never of the person, it is always from the person. Nisargadatta Maharaj
