THE MEANING OF LIFE

[ghost]

What is it? To discuss the Beach Boys here? To love God with all your heart, soul, and mind? To spread your DNA and die knowing your genetic lineage continues proudly? To seek enlightenment to escape death? To realize we are all god, all is god, playing hide-and-seek in duality for fun? To forget unity - as the ancient myth says? Unity begat Duality which begat Trinity - whence came One? From None? Zero - as the Buddhists will say? Nothingness. A star dies and becomes a black hole. What happens to man upon death? Can consciousness be born or die? Only that which is ultimately unreal dies [changes]. Change is the characteristic of this persistent non-persistent world, of maya, of illusion. The changeless principle, this we seek. That which unites opposites, dissolves boundaries. Within the mind, vacuous space. Life is but a ripple on the cosmic ocean, the universe has a million eyes with which it sees ITSELF.

[ghost]

Life "to me" is all puddles, rainbows, grass, bugs, birds, sky, clouds, stars, space, sun, moon. Know what I mean? It all just appears like a play of the elements in many forms, including us human organisms. It's the psychedelic universe. The chameleon on the tree branch slowly moving along. What is that? Why is that? Its very existence is the entire mystery of life. There is no purpose, no meaning. All just "is" and yet never really is. Nothing is, there's never a static moment except in memory. And memory is just a flash of lightning in a dark sky. In the center of the eye - the black hole. Every time you look at someone you're looking into the universe. The inner mind conciousness is the 'underworld', 'the beyond' - the other side of "this". We die into ourselves and are born into dreams to forget ourselves, like God. In his infinite freedom and creative play, God creates and destroys the universe, just for fun. Why do flowers bloom year after year? There is no meaning, no purpose, no "why". God is a presence not a person. The suchness of reality.

Brilliant line. You should start a Tobelman-like website where you share your thoughts in a cohesive manner....really, you have some great ideas.

many people think like this, i'm just mentioning it here like fish bait to hook in the potential minds that are receptive to this sort of awareness of life.

Of course many think like this - but you've summed it up in words quite nicely.

I'm sure Mike Love has spoken similarly many a night overlooking his adoring crowd.

enlightenment is a temporal lobe seizure
the two hemispheres of the brain harmonize
the inner eye opens, the lotus blooms in the skull



when they harmonize they disappear
like the point inbetween breaths or thoughts
or worlds or lives - anything, the point inbetween is not a point
it is a void center, a point of nothingness

when the mind stops - completely
it is so sudden, it is a total shock
that is the beginning of the temporal lobe seizure
samadhi, nirvana, all mean this experience

you have to conserve your essence
and transform it within your body
into consciousness energy
you must not waste essence
but conserve it
till it overflows
that is the ecstasy
there is real religious ecstasy to be known in this world
for us human beings to know - i am a human being
yet sometimes experience these things
but also much suffering like you
it comes from not coming
coming is actually going
your energy leaves you
when it stays within you, it goes to the brain
sexual energy and semen leaves the genitals
and goes up the spine [brain stem] to the higher brain
it illuminates the entire nervous system, resevered sexual energy
but the key is - ONLY if you know how to awaken it still and channel it upwards
if you just don't express it, it becomes represseion
the energy then wants outward-downward expression [coming]
instead of reoriented upwards-inwards expression [it rises to the brain as spiritual orgasms]
so you have to know how to love instead of lust, raise your aesthetic vibration
change your perspective, see from new higher heights
see subjectively, see each being as a unique manifestation of god
the psychedelic reality in luminous appearance

That was beautiful, Ghost. It sounds like mushrooms.

[ghost]

yes the message of the plant gods appears to be, you are life, love yourself

I know brother, the goal is to create a league of stoned posters who make this place the kind of party Brian Wilson was having every day in 1967 in his arabian tent.

[Manchini]

Cool, I'm with that. I'll drag my piano in here if you can hook up the amphetamines.

You got banned from a -chan site? You must really have some questionably legal skeletons in your closet.

[SMiLE Brian]

420chan is crazy.

I miss ghost already. 

[Alex]

Where'd ghost go? Was it "nobody" all along?

No kidding.

The IP addresses didn't match but I doubt his posting style left anything to the imagination.

chan sites that aren't "the big one" are very easy to get banned from, you just have to not agree with a mod or something.
i wonder how a brian wilson thread on that music board would go

[puni puni]

as for the meaning of life, it's probably burgers

[Amazing Larry]

I wonder if it was even Ghost posting recently, his typing style changed. Almost no caps.

[puni puni]

we need a petition or something to get ghosty back

prove that he's loved
