Orb Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Nothing has ever been possessed, so nothing can be lost. When did something ever come into one's possession? 🤔 Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture

My toy, my candy, mine, mine, mine. This just continues on to bigger and better objects, but we can't take any of it with us and even while here can be taken away very easily. Best to not get attached and just "be" as @almond said. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

Orb Posted March 16, 2022 Author Posted March 16, 2022 Agreed with all you guys have mentioned 🙂. Every time I spiral into confusion, I remember its all about chilling out and being here lol. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone.
