X Marks the Spot

Yes...the 'cause'.

cause----effect

action---reaction


How does one stop a thought?

The space between. Where one is offered a choice.

It is the same thing. Choosing where to point ones focus in a moment of emotional intensity.

To not be a 'slave' to ones emotions...IOW. To become less reactive as far as acting on negative emotion. To realize where it is coming from and take a moment to reflect the best course of action.


Sometimes it is little more than the fear of 'losing face' which will cause anger and violence.

Does this make sense?

They make quite a few of these so am likely mistaken, but a group of buddists created a very similar mandala at the Royal Academy, London in the 80/90's?, after it was finished they poured it into the Thames. I think my father has the exhibition book so I will ask him next time I visit.

I saw it in mid-creation and it was stunning!

At one time I was interested to study Tibetan art and mandalas, but it was a 7 year apprenticeship before I got to pick up a paintbrush! I thought it would probably take longer than 7 years to still my mind lol

7 years before you could pick up a paint brush?

Why?

Yes. My question now would be about the 'cause'. Is the cause only two as well? Fear or love=motive

bold(choice)being the fulcrum point

Sand mandalas are really pretty.

Yes.

The space between...

Where one chooses how to react to a certain stimuli.


For example I just posted this elsewhere.

that`s like dreaming in a dream

A combination of grasping the basic concepts of buddhism and being able to achieve the right state of mind to pick up the brush.

I arrived the only week of the year they ordain nuns/monks quite by accident as I considered it as a life pathway, lovely sync.

(((((om mani padme hum - to all )))))

I was just offered 4 oranges from Grammy next door having been gone from this house for the last 35 days.

I know right?

Have to be vewy vewy careful of our thoughts as they are now manifesting.....kinda scary but fun :)

probably a good thing to feel

if you are having fun at it you are allowing things to fall into place

hope for fear no more

oh I got the perfect song :D

I feel like I've been tangoed ;) (you might not get that reference..hmm maybe a local ref).


Like Seer says its our 'reaction to it which then preceeds what happens next, I'm still learning how to do this and stay in a positive frame of mind.

mortal (adj.)
"deadly," also "doomed to die," from Old French mortel "destined to die; deserving of death," from Latin mortalis "subject to death, mortal, of a mortal, human," from mors (genitive mortis) "death," from PIE base *mer- "to die," with derivatives referring to death and human beings" (cf. Sanskrit mrtih "death," martah "mortal man;" Avestan miryeite "dies," Old Persian martiya- "man;"

Armenian MERanim "die;" Latin mori "to die;" Lithuanian mirtis "mortal man;" Greek brotos "mortal"
(hence AMBROtos "immortal"); Old Church Slavonic mrutvu "dead;" Old Irish marb, Welsh marw "died;" Old English morþ "murder"). The most widespread Indo-European root for "to die," forming the common word for it except in Greek and Germanic. Watkins says it is "possibly" the same as PIE *mer- "rub, pound, wear away" (see morbid).

I found this interesting from the link...


Kalachakra refers both to a Tantric deity of Vajrayana Buddhism and to the philosophies and meditation practices contained within the Kalachakra Tantra and its many commentaries.

The Kalachakra Tantra is more properly called the Kalachakra Laghutantra, and is said to be an abridged form of an original text, the Kalachakra Mulatantra which is no longer extant. Some Buddhist masters assert that Kalachakra is the most advanced form of Vajrayana practice; it certainly is one of the most complex systems within tantric Buddhism.

The Kalachakra tradition revolves around the concept of time and cycles (chakra): from the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of human breathing, it teaches the practice of working with the most subtle energies within one's body on the path to enlightenment.

The Kalachakra deity represents a Buddha and thus omniscience. Since Kalachakra is time and everything is under the influence of time, Kalachakra knows all. Whereas Kalachakri or Kalichakra, his spiritual consort and complement, is aware of everything that is timeless, untimebound or out of the realm of time. In Yab-yum, they are temporality and atemporality conjoined. Similarly, the wheel is without beginning or end.

The Kalachakra system is clearly related to the ancient Vedic tradition in India which existed long before Buddhism appeared.

The Kalachakra deity resides in the center of the Mandala in his palace consisting of four Mandalas, one within the other: the Mandalas of body, speech, and mind, and in the very center, wisdom and great bliss.

The Kalachakra sand Mandala is dedicated to both individual and world peace and physical balance.

Here is what I carry with me or wear Seer :)

:k chak:

Everyone has medals they wear around their neck. I can connect. Two say mom one is the cross...had another one but felt that energy fade...
