Re: The bible, and Aliens
Of course there are aliens in deep space. The Mahapadana Suttanta (DN 14) tells us about them: Even in those spaces which are between the worlds, baseless, murky and dark, and where even moon and sun, so wondrous and mighty, cannot prevail to give light, even there is made manifest this infinite an...

Re: noting during dream
This is quite an interesting topic. I wonder if while in a lucid dream you could perhaps do some sitting meditation. I might have to try this when I go to bed, if I can remember to! That might be the biggest problem, Telling yourself to note what's happening.

Re: The bible, and Aliens
Orbiting Awareness, will Aliens should they exist, prevent your experience of Dukkha ? And if they exist and are sentient beings are they likely to be free of Dukkha? That's a very good question! Preventing my experience of dukkha, I highly doubt it, Unless they have a meditation room onboard the s...

Re: The bible, and Aliens
It strikes me as tinfoil hat stuff. Hahaha! Ya know, that would only work if you covered your entire body in tin foil? :P But in all seriousness, how many ancient accounts are there of powerful "Gods" coming to earth, Burning rings from the heavens, ect? I'm curious to see how many can be...

The bible, and Aliens
I'm just curious about the opinion of the bible here, and also the possibilities of Aliens in the book. Considering that the bible is full of metaphors, perhaps there are metaphors for "UFO's", genetic manipulation (Adam and Eve?), and Nuclear weapons. Let me know what you guys think! This...

Re: The Dhamma Wheel Meditation Challenge
and Orbiting Awareness, I'd be interested in reading what you have to say about meditating in metropolitan areas -- I used to live in a big city and hear all sorts of craziness at all hours of the day (and night). Do you think that sort of thing challenges us and makes our meditation better or impe...
