Kamma? I call it intent, it's been a while, I've been somewhat worldy for quite a bit, but it is, as much as I can surmise, what lies directly below consciousness that when quieted can be felt as a kind of energetic field of being. It is also what might be called desire though desire seems more like an ignorance of that intent as a kind of energy that can be conjoined with as the quieted consciousness. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but from within all of my own meditation it does seem to be what I think it might be.


Gosh, it has been long time no see you here. 😯

Things could get interesting, now your back..hehe

once someone told me " don't try to be a Buddhist - just be the Buddha "

then another guy told me that there are a lot of Buddhas in China - one does one thing another does something else

This was a reply to someone else's post I've now lost in this lengthy thread! Ah well, here goes -

Liberation is quite simply to be found in relaxation and letting go....

May all beings have peace and happiness in these difficult times on our planet.

Haha, maybe just passing through. Spiritual development was always my favourite section but looking through the posts nothing really took my fancy. I love it down and dirty these days amongst all the folks, just having fun and following my luck.

Very interesting times these days, loads of fun seeing and feeling the 'new' energies finding themselves amongst the mayhem!

G'day. I too am somewhat worldly, but still make a post here and there to revel in the overall futility of the internet, twittery, tearing down statues and wondering if black lives matter or not, but it's the noise, you see, the rabble going on in the mind, outrage and justification, when in actual fact my primary concern is finding that perfect time of day when it's not too late for a coffee or too early for a drink.
