Is that where you pump up the inner bag of a recently demolished wine box so you've got a pillow?

bodleing2: Not sure how the headbanger emot appeared but somehow maybe it was fitting.
I first heard about the dark night of the soul many years ago. It can be a very frightening experience. It's actually similar to something you mentioned earlier. An overload of information could send someone insane.
Some people can find themselves in a very dark place through meditation and looking within. This is why correct guidance and reliable teaching is important.
The other issue is, from my experiences spent living in Buddhist centres, there is a tendency for them to attract people who are going through a life crises and maybe the intensity of such introspection without close monitoring is not best for them at that time.
I guess it's like trying to learn how to swim when youre already in deep water.
ah no worries..I see stuff written on here..under my name... and I've no idea how it got there either I first heard about the dark night of the soul many years ago.

I've never heard of it before..it felt like it had an almost satanic air about it ( for me anyway)...
yeh, the mind can do some really strange things to a person alright and it wouldn't be wise to go trying to mess with it in ways not fully understood...I've tried a few things just by thinking very deeply about them... but i saw what it was doing to me so I backed right off.... scary stuff for sure....
You've lived with Bhuddists? Now that must've been interesting...I bet conversations were totally different to anything you'd have here in the UK..time to listen, time to think, time to reply...time to appreciate...must've been sooo different to life here...? lucky you..

jac_the_gripper: Maybe the answer to life, the universe and everything is not 42 after all. Maybe it's hedgehogs.
It would be awfully difficult for people to go waging war if they were constantly exposed to hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs might even solve world poverty if people were like, come and sit down and share my dinner; there's a hedgehog documentary starting on BBC1 in a minute...
This apparent universal soft spot for hedgehogs is the best thing to come out of this thread. It makes me proud to be part of it.It would be awfully difficult for people to go waging war if they were constantly exposed to hedgehogs.

Stop it right now, we had a flourishing ambience of harmony going before you came slagging off tents.

Apart from showing disgust at the idea of a holiday park (or whatever you called it) I never said what my preference was.....

Youcannow: So what is your idea of heaven ?
Hotel or house on a wild part of coastline with wave crashing onto the rocks ... private beach ... mostly vegetarian or vegan food ... live music in the evenings... in the company of my (for now imaginary) lover ...

All the Buddhist centres I've stayed have been in the uk withe the exception of one which was in Spain.I've never heard of it before..it felt like it had an almost satanic air about it ( for me anyway)...

I usually spend one or two weeks there, sometimes do a working week which pays for my room and meals. The people who stay there are from around the globe and conversation is always very interesting and invigorating. The pujas in the evenings are always very uplifting and interactions with the residents, the monks and the nuns is quite often great fun.
I was at one stage thinking of taking up residency at the centre near York, Madhyamaka, but decided that regular visits would be better.

Well if you were fed up with war, how has coming here and starting one helped? I only came to this thread to divert myself from the war threads & this was the only one available
On the bright side, it hasn't done any harm to the post count.

blathin: Thanks BB for taking the time to answer..Hmm interesting perspective there alright, I never thought about it lke that...but what would concern me there is that they're reaking havoc with us watching and seeing through them but if everyone turned a blind eye then there'd be no stopping them...at all ...
Not really. Voting is a three fold tactic. 1: to cause division/separation/fightig among its citizens, 2: it keeps you and all citizens thinking that someday the leaders will provide what they promise, (carrot on a stick or pavlov's dog) and 3: all the while you don't realize that you have surrendered your power and sovereignty for a song and dance, smoke and mirrors. Step one: Don't vote, it only encourages them. Your vote shows them that you are under the spell of their bs. Don't look behind the curtain!
If enough people ceased to follow the bs that leadership provides, the results would be earth shaking. But meh, what do I care if people want to stay all wrapped up in their politics fighting in divisiveness, blind to the reality of their own power.
Without citizen support they are weakness.
That sounded political.
