The problem I have with Buddhism is that every old dharma teacher looks the same: powerful in mind and spirit, but frail in body.
I want the embodied version of Buddhism—one that unites spiritual insight with AI, information theory, physics, biology, health/medicine, and evolution. These fields all point to the same truth: the body is an energy system. It's not meant to be still. It's meant to move, pulse, vibrate, and express.
The old Buddhists are so unhealthy because in their quest to sit quietly with suffering they are trashing their bodies.
Our bodies are energy systems, constantly in motion, literally vibrating all the way down.
As soon as you get the insight of the mind from Buddhism, stop sitting and start moving.
during times like this when I'm flat broke wondering where I'll sleep next I contemplate how infinitely more fortunate it is to comprehend this practice beyond conditions. waves of bliss skin tingling mind concentrated locked in on the four frames. an ease unreliant on illusion independent of feeling and impermenance. understanding even an iota of resistance as the aggregates. constantly checking the world against that inner certainty...whatever happens is just exactly in line with causality and leading to its end. like a cheat code that takes many years to enter correctly lol but once you do...hard to put into words
"How very happily we live,
we who have nothing.
We will feed on rapture
like the Radiant gods."

"When a person has right view...whatever [mental/verbal/bodily] deeds he undertakes in line with that view, whatever intentions... determinations... fabrications, all lead to what is agreeable, pleasing, charming, profitable, & easeful. Why is that? Because the view [itself] is auspicious."
