highly rambunctious and easily misconstrued

when you look into a mirror, who do you see? one's focus need not be on a human nor a body.

consider the buddha, looking into a mirror again and again over myriad lives and the physical form is different. what is common? what remains?

in all his lives he never found a "self"

on a coarse level, no phenomenon can just repeaticate (replicate spontaneously and effectively) non-stop. otherwise, impermanence -- the axiom of Change -- would be invalid; contrary to our very experiencing.

your practice, if you have one, cannot be for this limited time in this limited body alone. your scope must be greater until greatness itself is the view. a view without the limitations of an identity.

we are all so fascinated with life. but when your suffering is real like ripe strawberries are red, certainly one must think "either i am missing something from my understanding, or god is just a heartless bastard"

real renunciation is to be disgusted with the patterns that repeat and lead to grittiness. they can be overcome.

you've had many more than one body. fathom that.

And not all necessarily human either. And none following any thought process you're following right now. Fathom that.
