Buddhism as a "Science of the Mind"

“Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.”
― Alan Wilson Watts

Scientists Proclaim Animal and Human Consciousness the Same

Very, very cool- but how could consciousness really differ?

Meditation tone

The rhythm slowly gets slower.
try to match your breath to a two cycle in, two cycle out kind of pace.
It gets reeeaaal slow, very relaxing.

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. 

And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. 

And the ride goes up and down and round and round. 

It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. 

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" 

And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." 

And we kill those people.”

 Bill Hicks

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”
― Herman Melville

The creation of a black hole is the creation of a new universe.

This is something that I have believed in for quite some time, it just makes sense when you look at it from a physics stand point.

A black hole by definition resides within a singularity, a thing which is cut off from EVERYTHING else, that little bit breaks off from our reality and starts a new one.

The new reality grows from matter being sucked into the singularity, the connection eventually fades as black hole don't last forever.

Lakota

Lakota spirituality is based on the circle. The Lakota saw the journey of life and death as a circular process. They also interacted with one another in a circular fashion, rather than in a struggle for domination.

The Lakota even used the circle’s symbolism in their architecture. Their houses (which are known as tipis) had circular foundations.

"Everything the Power does, it does in a circle." Lakota Proverb

"Creation is continuous." Lakota Proverb

"I am standing at the Earth’s center." Lakota Proverb

"A man’s life is a circle from childhood to childhood, and thus it is in everything where the power moves." Black Elk

"The power of the world always works in circles." Black Elk

"The center of the universe is everywhere." Black Elk

The Lakota Indians


This is very similar to the teachings in the Tao

No Fear in the Now

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha
