The problem dealt with may present a certain actual interest for a particular type of Western man of today who, having lived through what Nietzsche had already defined “European nihilism,” and who, after having realized the problematical character of the value of life, does not feel himself able to face the path of pure detachment, but having integrated his own spiritual horizon with the views set forth above, attempts, in spite of everything, to find a solution of the human problem along the path of action.

Were the Celts Tantrics? The Celtic Kali and Bhairava (Mythstream)

We look at the hags Irnan and Orddu and the fierce hero Goll mac Morna, identifying an archaic tantric pattern that spreads across Europe and must go back to Proto-Indo-European religion.

Thank you to Collin for coming on to discuss.

True Dharma always has only the practical sense of realization. That is, for example, the real realization of what is obscuration, is possible only by practically overcoming obscuration. Otherwise, it will be a wandering of the mind - and it doesn't matter whether it wanders according to the rules of philosophical treatises or ordinary, arbitrary wandering.

If you don't understand this directly, you continue to wander in matters of definition - instead of immersing your mind in this indeterminacy, surrendering to it, relaxing, and giving up the subtle fears about the lack of support for being. That would be the practical step.

In realizing the basis of existence, the key point of indeterminacy is fully revealed.

The true nature of phenomena is such that there is no “transition” to it or change in it; therefore, there is no question of what distracts and what does not distract your attention.

It is not an experience that can be expressed.

"Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there." - Meister Eckhart

I bet everyone was telling him to "stop larping."

That feeling when pinning first thangka up

Notice how he meditates on the impermanence of his own actions

Really good video from the Youtube channel "Good to think with." No amount of theorizing, belief, faith, etc is going to give you the experience of the divine itself. Only direct insight can do that.
