yay, first comment!!! meeeeeeeeeeeeditation time come on! lets meditate! yeaaahhhooooo!

[cwalwanis]

Thank you for yet another great talk. I was surprised to hear the strong words on the god concept in the beginning. I am not saying that I disagree or that I think it is wrong. It is just surprising to me, I guess since I haven't seen it in the other videos and from hearing Ajahn Brahm talk about his friendship with ministers and priests.

I like the Mango tree example.

@alfulani5 YOU'RE CORRECT! "NOTHING" DOES MAKE ITSELF! "NOTHING" DOES POP OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT DO YOU THINK ALL OF THIS REALITY IS?!

[Memetheas]

I fall asleep while I was meditating,,,,I woke after the alarm rang...oh gosh...one hour gosh sleepin meditation :(

@hearts0ngs What?

Are you supposed to accept everything a guy with the yellow robe tells you?

Whatever happened to your analytical mind?

I am NOT trying to prove anyone wrong, rather trying to find answers!!

If you think you should just blindly follow anyone who you think is enlightened its fine with me.

And after all I did not force you to have a discussion with me!!

[hearts0ngs]

@alfulani5 It's becoming plain to me that you are not here to have an intelligent discussion, but rather have already made up your mind, and simply want to keep arguing till kingdom come. If my intuition is correct, maybe you would find less to argue with if you went to a christian vid instead? Clearly you don't like our religion; that's just fine, and no-one is in the least offended. But also, I am pretty sure that Jesus would not want you to constantly annoy and irritate others...right? :)

[alfulani5]

@hearts0ngs So you mean to say the mind is a very complex mechanism which is capable of recording everything. So who made that sophisticated mind? This is like claiming a Boeing 747 or the space shuttle just popped out of nothing!

Nothing makes itself!!

Nothing pops out of nowhere!

[hearts0ngs]

@alfulani5 I just wanted to point out that there does not need to 'be' anyone recording every deed we do, because it's all 'recorded' in our own minds as we go, automatically so to speak. As for the bodily functions, and how they operate, well that's Nature for you, and wonderful it is, I agree. It is true that we can't control the heartbeat, digestion, excretion etc, but then I never suggested that we could. I was talking about how karma is 'recorded'.

[hearts0ngs]

@alfulani5 I'm sorry that my previous comment was unclear. I did not mean to cause you any misunderstanding.

It's a very deep subject and can't be understood fully without some basic experience in meditation, I feel. Because when we allow the mind to become still, we see how all the thoughts and emotions that reverberate there in the stillness, do so because we ourselves put them there, by thinking, speaking or performing actions in the past. (And I mean in THIS lifetime, mostly).

@hearts0ngs

Isn't it surprising the intelligent being cannot control 99.999% of the body he calls his own!!

Can you control, your hunger, thirst, aging, death and other bodily functions you take for granted like maintaining the temperature, the contents of other chemicals, etc. ??
