Why Does Laughing Buddha Laugh?

Why Does Laughing Buddha Laugh?

2010-03-08 3rd Journal, Mayan day 12 Alligator ♥ TRANSCRIPT: Intro: You know, something has definitely changed about these journals. Oh, yes, I know many things have changed; and they will keep changing. That’s just how life is, when we flow naturally with it. But what I mean, here, though, is that I always seem able to journal, these days. Maybe that doesn’t make sense to you. Maybe you think, still, that I am a person, and that I run my life by this mind, by thought. Well, that’s an easy enough mistake to make. After all, I do still look like a person, don’t I? At least I think I do. Heck, I’m even expecting that to change at some point. Why not? Everything else is; ha! You know, it is this way with every sage. And I am not even a sage, I assure you; just someone a little bit higher on the mountainside. That’s all. But once we leave duality and polarity consciousness--or rather, once we are extricated from being so entangled in it--then we are no longer a person. Actually, I agree with Nisargadatta, that there really is no such thing as a person. But I make an effort not to get too far off into mysticism, here, or into things that would just confound too many people’s understanding. So, though I can talk that language, I generally don’t go there. There are almost always so many ways to view or to say the same thing. It’s like the difference between DOS and Windows, you see? Windows gives us so many options, none particularly superior to others; just different ways to get at or to do the same thing. I like that. People are meant to be that way, too; or we can be. Individual people don’t really exist. Yes, I know, they seem to; that’s pretty clear. It’s just an appearance, though. On the whole, we don’t have much of any deep understanding of the material dimension, the creation... Distributed by Tubemogul.
