2017-08-08 at 6:38 AM UTCI was searching for more opinions on the Buddha and his views on reincarnation/rebirth and decided to reread this: https://www.thoughtco.com/g00/reincarnation-in-buddhism-449994?i10c.referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
"If we can understand that in this life we can continue without a permanent, unchanging substance like Self or Soul, why can't we understand that those forces themselves can continue without a Self or Soul behind them after the non-functioning of the body?
"When this physical body is no more capable of functioning, energies do not die with it, but continue to take some other shape or form, which we call another life. … Physical and mental energies which constitute the so-called being have within themselves the power to take a new form, and grow gradually and gather force to the full."
This was part of the exact passage I read in a paper titled Schopenhauer's Transcendental Problem. It was actually Schopenhauer that sparked my interest in Buddhism. It was exactly what, right at moment when I finished reading it, caused me to suddenly grasp the general cycle of Buddhism, of its entirety. Mainly the reformulation, alternate understanding/interpretation, of karma and reincarnation/rebirth.
I rapidly began dwelling on it, then naturally moved into the meditative position with my eyes closed due to how rapidly my train of thought was developing, the depth of contemplation. In an unbroken stream I developed a fuller understanding, a generally complete understanding, drawing from prior knowledge and thoughts, creating the syntheses, connections, and novel answers. I visualized in high detail a man going through the various phases of his daily life, then starting again in the morning. The cycle of desire, uneasiness, what drives every action, present changing into past, to be lost forever, indeterminate, transient, impermanent. I even developed a new thought experiment directly related to this cycle, which is aligned with extensive writing on the problems of consciousness and identity.
What a wonderful system. As it concluded a genuine large smile and feeling of joy, warmth, and mild euphoria developed. Buddhist concepts are an absolute joy to meditate on. Those who suffer, find it tedious, strenuous, may not have the proper predisposition, level of development, or understanding.
This only strengthens my desire to see one of my major long-term projects and goals to completion, a reformulation of the Buddhist system.
To complete my understanding, ensure I don't commit any errors, and collect every significant excerpt I find valuable, I plan to read every major translation of the Pali Canon/Tripitaka here, which is the only complete translation currently available, written by someone highly authoritative, and prestigiously acclaimed, considered unrivaled.

It is almost precisely 9,000 pages long.

This is like the textual form of jerking yourself off in public. Since you're not actually saying anything besides how smart you are I assume you were trying to impress someone? As such, let me help you out by saying that the critical response is a lot closer to cringe than it is to awe.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-08-08 at 7:14 AM UTCI should just murder/suicide. I'm too much of a pussy and a coward though. Maybe one day I'll grow a set of balls and just do it ans surprise everyone, including myself.
PoC definitely deserves a better girlfriend than me. He's a better man than I deserve. All his flaws and problems, they don't hold a candle to the truly awesome person he is. -

Originally posted by Malice I've heard you're rather short and stout. I'm 100% certain that however you actually are IRL is a perfect explanation for the way you behave.
No wonder you aren't willing to ever show your real picture to anyone or get on cam, which I've even done! You honestly believe you're fooling anyone? You're incredibly transparent.
You really should have agreed to meet up and fight me if we were ever in the same area, you would have won! I would have fallen over and died laughing the instant you arrived.
I dwelled on this more and it all came to me. I completely understand what kind of person flaco is, what made him this way, what he's like IRL, the general pattern of his life.
I'll do an extensive deconstruction of him eventually when I'm in the mood, like one I wrote on HTS recently. Have some things coming up for the rest of this week. -

Lanny, you don't know this, but sometime last month I decided to avoid trying to ask you for your thoughts on various matters, seeing you as the only person here who might show even initial signs of being deserving of something more.
You're too young and undeveloped, a jackass in multiple critical ways. Of course I was far worse at your age and didn't even realize it. I am not the least bit impressed by your occupation, which you don't even particularly enjoy. Returning to school for your Master's is commendable, though. You should aim to eventually receive a PhD, as you're on track to be financially independent at a young age. You likely know that more money, almost anything you can buy, and the occupations you will likely work in, will never provide you with genuine lasting happiness.
Something I initially dwelled on a long time ago was how occupations immensely stunt personal development, the pursuit of knowledge, for the vast majority of people. If you haven't already grasped this on your own (I don't know everything that you do or don't know), think about the various aspects, it's fairly simple.
Oh, to answer the question, which is related to what I wrote below, I'm simply jotting down my thoughts.
Not only that, but I'm also posting it in case anyone else may have any interest in the subject or become curious and decide to pursue it on their own, dwell on the matter.
Alright, you have a minor in philosophy. To be perfectly honest, and of course this is regardless of the impression I evoke, which is perfectly reasonable, you do have a good grasp of the key figures in existentialism, the general technical knowledge, essentially being the kind of student that has read exactly what he should. But I have genuinely never, not once, seen you post an original thought, posit anything novel. You literally don't even try. All you're able to do is debate based on the key books you've read with people who are generally clearly incorrect/mistaken, with absolutely no creativity.
You know, you really are like your hero Rust in many ways, which is a terrible thing. Do you intend to debate people on the kind of garbage Figure-8 repeatedly posted and the religious for the rest of your life, to feel superior to the lowest quality people, engage in perpetual intellectual masturbation, have an excuse to be condescending, to hate and belittle others, attempt to intellectually bully them and build an image of yourself as a superior being, yet unrecognized due to the flaws and injustices of humanity and the world they've created, their systems?
Here's a small challenge. Dwell on the above, a secular conception of the Buddhist concept of what was meant by 'reincarnation'/'rebirth', or, alternatively, 'karma', and jot down your thoughts. It can be a rough stream of consciousness as long as others are able to follow your train of thought, your insights.
It doesn't matter if you don't feel you have enough of an understanding of Buddhism, you don't need one if you understand the general pattern of a secular/rational interpretation. Simply reading a wikipedia entry or good article could be enough. If you fear it may lead you astray, just link to what you're basing your thoughts on and I'll give my opinion on whether your errors were reasonable, stemmed from the sources.
Don't start bitching and giving me excuses, this should even take long, you lazy alcoholic piece of shit. What does getting drunk regularly ever accomplish that's eternal? I swear, you have exactly the exact general personality of an archetypal introverted San Francisco programmer. Almost no genuine or noteworthy creativity outside of coding.
Woah, this ended up longer than I thought it was.
Originally posted by Captain Falcon And on top of that, it is incredibly poorly written, so it's like a retard jerking himself off with his feet.
I'm jotting down my thoughts in a stream of consciousness format without attempting to produce anything of particularly high quality.
I'm posting after midnight on a message board, not submitting a paper to a journal of philosophy.
It's fitting that you don't eat swine. I suppose it is natural to have an aversion to feasting on your own kind, you imbecilic filth.
The hypocrisy is astounding. You criticize me for posting nothing of interest and poor quality writing, yet you almost never even attempt to produce anything of interest or quality, simply shitposting in the most annoying and worthless manner the majority of the time.
I would love to find you IRL and just sloowly press my thumbs into your eyeballs as you deliver the most memorable bloodcurdling shriek that makes me spontaneously ejaculate.

My sammiches don't taste like ass because I don't make sammiches. I'm the asshole who actually was a cunt to PoC though, so... I deserve all the bullshit. I'm really sorry for hurting PoC and being the cause for his destructive behavior he ensued in... I'm a huge asshole, retarded cunt.

Oy, women. To be honest, you are way too unstable and it's going to take years of serious effort to really recover, if it ever happens.
...
Oh god, I have to be honest, looking at every problem you have, how serious they are and what an amazing array there is, it's probably never going to happen.
