CAMELOT FANTASIES

I would like to contribute something to this thread while I wait for Andy's match (but I will watch other matches too in the meantime).

Five main causes of human suffering - based on Vedanta and Budhism teaching. I am simply copying and pasting here:

"There are five reasons why human beings suffer, according to Vedanta. These are the five kleshas on which Buddhism drew for the Four Noble Truths.

First, they do not know who they are.

Second, they grasp, hold on, cling to that which is impermanent, transient, intangible, ephemeral, dreamlike, which has no real existence.

Third, they are afraid of, run from that which is transient, intangible, insubstantial, dreamlike, ephemeral, which has no real existence.

Fourth, they identify with the false self, a moment-by-moment fabrication, which is a figment of the imagination, they sacrifice their souls, their spirits for a false identity.

Fifth, they are afraid of death, of the unknown. And then Vedanta says, all those five reasons are contained in the first. So find out who you are, and the other four dissipate, disappear as if it was a dream.

So find out who you are, and the truth will set you free: Satyamev Jayate.

Vedanta says, beyond the secret passages, beyond the dark alleys of the mind, there's a domain of awareness, atman, and that atman is one with Brahman. Today, science calls it (Brahman) the virtual domain, from where the quantum and the physical arise. This virtual domain is immortal and eternal, is a field of infinite correlations, has infinite organizing power, infinite dynamism, and is the source of energy, space, time, matter and information. It is simultaneously infinity-time. It is here that we will find the meaning of choice, freedom, insight, intention, imagination, intuition, creativity, knowingness, understanding, and spirit.
