Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. What Dogen is saying is not contradicting himself. He is saying sutras can point the way to the correct practice, which in turn can bring realization, but studying sutras alone does not. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #sutra

A quote from St. Augustin Excerpt from the book, Light Up The Darkness: A Fluorescent Awakening

UFOs / UAPs, non-human intelligent, even post-sapient beings of life exist in the cosmos. But what we should be focused on is realizing that we are them, that we are already here ... with extraordinary capabilities which are derived from an energy algorithm - a literal, mathematical calculation.

I had a direct intuitive understanding, not intellectual knowledge, but experiential knowing.

The diect experiences I had cannot be adequately described. It was beyond words and concepts. It was transformative and irreversible. It has changed my perception permanently.

The U.S. government has been interested in extraordinary human functioning since at least ... for that matter, all human kind has been interested in extraordinary human functioning since time began.

Thank you to all of the new followers. Welcome. 🙏

In the realm of extraordinary human functioning and capabilities the emergence of patterns of cause-effect relationships and the elucidation of the mechanisms and agencies involved are now known. We now know that we have extraordinary capabilities and that they can be cultivated.
