I totally understand it however. You wish to get judgment from Buddhist people and I am a Hindu with only a slight, fringe Buddhist bent, so my words are totally irrelevant to what it is you are hoping to find here. I wish you good luck and all the best. :hug3: |

Being confused as chuckle face (ground) said, only keeps you from being what you already are. The rest is a complimentary awareness. Listen to the/your eight year old, his wisdom shows you the true face already, his confusion will be felt in you and that confuses him, if you just cant relax and enjoy whatever flows and wants to be shared as a mindfulness of life and others in the awareness you already know and hold true to you more open without confusion, then you will be confused as chuckle face shared. The mind likes to dictate right order and make sense of things, but being yourself at some point doesn't require the mind, to just be. Its a whole body awareness of being you is how we live this stuff now. Let the real stories of life teach you and the eight year old. Your truth in how it all fits your way is not the way of the truth shared in teachings, when you know the way, you find the way of life that matches your knowing or awareness as that piece of knowledge. You just practice being it, you don't have to practice speaking the knowing of it. That's for chuckle faces.. Just remember that there are those who choose to take Buddhism into a whole other world and circle and each step of the way through the practice is a changing point of awareness for each individual as a practice and how that practice serves humanity.. Some serve the temples, some get more real and serve life itself, through connection and sharing in the real world. And look I am no Buddhist or no nothing of the teachings accept what I am in me that relates as myself in reverse order to many others in regards to Buddhism. I came to know myself first then the teachings made more sense from the point of resonation in feeling, the more I read and understand through others and their purging of texts. But really you don't have to listen to me. Listen to yourself and feel that confusion and let it go.. Let the next wave commence...;) |

I feel like I left my family and wandered the wilderness seeking answers like the Buddha and what I found is what he was pointing to. From the viewpoint of pointing at it, I really feel that there is no confusion within me but unlike the Buddha, I'd prefer to go back home. If I was a monk it might be different but if I was a monk who has tasted life as I have and remembered it, it might not. |

Your first post was very much in line with how I see things. People who understand Buddhism, as you do, hopefully can understand. |

Most take the finger for the moon and grasp at the finger. But the finger is just pointing to the moon. Others reject the finger and don't see the moon because of this rejection. So it is essential to validly know the finger and the direction it is pointing to but once this is known one has to look into this direction to see the moon and not dumbly stare at the finger. :laughing7: |

Taking the finger for the moon is confusion. Knowing the finger Is not the moon and yet feeling how what one knows about the finger conflicts with everything one holds dear is being honest with oneself. Choosing to stop staring at the moon is also being honest with oneself. It's really that simple and I don't think most mistake the finger for the moon, I think most change the moon to what they want it to be and I get that. |

The real issue is that you're not liberated from 'the world of the finger and the fingers' as long as you don't see liberation ('the moon') and that you even can't see or acknowledge that you are staring at the finger. So yes, you are right: you should be honest with yourself and drop buddhism which just adds another finger to your world of fingers. Buddhism isn't appropriate for all kinds of individuals. Do it! Drop buddhism once and for all! Stop hanging around here. There is definitely no benefit in wasting your time in a buddhist forum except if you derive benefit from lamenting :laughing7: |
