The tears you have shed … crying & weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing — are greater than the water in the four great oceans.

I mean I wasn't without buddhist materials. I had hard copies of the digha nikaya, sumyutta nikaya, and the majjhima nikaya, among other books.Mahabrahma wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 9:26 pmhttps://www.nichirenlibrary.org/

You? Likely not, tbh. I doubt you've ever been completely sane on this forum. But only you can make the change.Adam1234 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:56 pmSo because I'm suffering, you just don't believe me? What if I had come to this forum before and explained my psychic powers?

Not in my knowledge of buddhism, but as a mystic and a yogi, yes. You would have had to have met me, and you would believe me. I was extraordinary. I sat lotus and ran around barefoot without electricity.
You have never had psychic powers in your youth. You were not a yogi. You were not a mystic. Whether you want to call it demons or mental illness, it is blocking your proper cognition. You didn't kill your mother with psychokinesis. Your soul didn't leave your body.
You should renounce these vainglorious untruths. You think you say them to not sound conceited, but all these claims are are manifestations of self-aggrandizing conceit and vanity.
Well everything I'm saying is right out of the suttras...seeing God's, remembering past lives, reading minds etc. I'm not telling you I went to Mordor, or saw Pete's dragon or something. And where other people need faith, I don't. I KNOW rebirth is true. I KNOW gods are real. And I've never thought I was a vampire. People used to address me as "yogi". I did things my yoga instructor couldn't do.Coëmgenu wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:44 pmYou? Likely not, tbh. I doubt you've ever been completely sane on this forum.

That’s your very problem
If I was well, this conversation would be different. Few people had the psychic powers I had.
You are talking about yourself in the past tense
I lost everything!
You mean if I hadn't done this?
The story is never ending
Suppose I emitted a force, but thought it was just a thought. What then?
Let's say just hypothetically...what would be the outcome?
