    @ReX342 “Human beings are robot- slaves of a selfish, greedy survival
    machine,nDNA”.[Dawkins]. Is this not uncannily like Buddha and J.
    Krishnamurti’s description of our consciousness? The selfish ‘me’ is rooted
    in our cells, and arises in the brain as ‘Thought’. THC ‘affects the cell
    receptors which are involved with Thought, memory and time.’ Cannabis
    actively suppresses the ‘me’ at its source, the cell. Unfortunately, this
    ‘new mind’ lasts only as long as the THC remains active.

    God is a concept. The NOW is pure being, no concepts arising. The NOW, as
    you call it, cannot be defined or understood intellectually so why bother
    attaching such a heavy word like God to it? It just is what it is, nothing
    more. No need for the extra baggage.

    Lol he should have added that not even sleep can offer you respite from
    thoughts, because they get you in your dreams.

    How is it a religion when they do not believe in a God? Buddhism has been
    around a lot longer than the Dalai Lama, whom I personally don’t trust any
    more than the pope.

    Just attended a 10 day Vipassana course… 🙂 So wonderful. It works.

    Finally, someone willing to talk about this without the bullshit!

    The meditation he mentions here, Vipassana, is not only non-secular
    (created by the Buddha; not Buddhist) but also offered freely, in 10 day
    retreat centers all over the world. Just google it. Be warned though, it’s
    anything but easy. Real rewards come through real work.

    don’t call those teachings and philosophies religion. Because they are not

    when you are doing what you like …what you really like – you really
    forget about time….’stop thinking’ – so how is that different from THIS
    meditation ? This is a very serious question. thx, anyone

    Why one of the most famous atheists practices meditation

    One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on the mechanics and reasons for
    mediation from a western perspective. The bottom line: its really, really
    hard…but yields tremendous positive effects.
