Honest question: How would a caged lion make his case to the owner of a zoo, that he wants to be a free lion?

How would a lion communicate with a person who is so far removed from his own method of communication?

The zoo keepers could decipher some of its mannerisms (hunger strike) but he'd never be able to make a legal appeal to the owner.

The only way to "communicate" his desire to be free, without depending on his caretakers who are appointed by the owner, is to escape.

It's not like anybody is opposed to free lions existing in the wild. Even the security guard knows that regular lions live in the wild. It's not his job to go round up wild lions, he just has to make sure the captive ones are not roaming around.

The act of claiming your freedom and going back out into the wild IS your legal appeal. This is how you communicate that you ARE a lion.

Yes, there's risks. but you got your ass captured in the first place.

I doubt there's even one of you here who isn't a registered person.

What has been described so far is that which is encompassed by the term conventional truth. Next, the ultimate truth will be approached, but it must be borne in mind that this level of truth is beyond the ability of language to convey due to the fact that language is itself limited to the conventional.

Therefore, we arrive at the peculiar position of being forced to use the conventional to point towards the ultimate in the way that the finger points towards the moon. The key here is to avoid becoming fixated on the finger and to remember that the finger is itself representative of something beyond.

This brings us to the first key understanding regarding the ultimate truth, which is that of its ineffable nature.

This means that the ultimate is beyond conceptualization and can only be realized through direct experience. Intellectual understanding can never fully grasp the ultimate; at best, it can only serve the function of the finger pointing towards the moon of the ultimate.

The ultimate is beyond samsara. It is beyond all forms and temporality. The law of karma holds no jurisdiction within the realm of the ultimate as it undergoes no change or transformation and is beyond all causes and conditions.

For this reason, the ultimate truth is associated with Nirvana, the liberation from suffering, and represents the awakened mind.

The awakened mind, as opposed to the discriminating mind, is able to cut through the supposed distinctions of the conventional and arrive at the ultimate truth of shunyata.

What this means is that the ultimate truth encompasses the understanding that the interdependent nature of the conventional necessarily implies that all phenomena lack independent, inherent existence and do not actually exist as stand-alone entities despite appearing as if they are. This is the meaning of the concept of anatman or no-self.

A common example of no-self is that of the chariot. Which aspect of the chariot constitutes the essence of what would be considered "chariotness"?

Is it the wheels? The axel? The reigns? Quickly, we begin to see that the phenomena we label as chariot is in reality only a collection of aggregates with no clear or objective delineation of where it starts or stops becoming a chariot.

The ultimate truth recognizes that there is no permanent essence of "selfness" and that what we conventionally understand as the self is actually composed of combinations of material and immaterial processes, subject to change at every moment.

Shunyata is the nondual nature of ultimate reality. Ultimate truth transcends dualistic conceptions and distinctions, yet does not refute multiplicity or the play of forms within relative reality.

What it does is reject that the appearances within the conventional plane of multiplicity are themselves independent at the ultimate level. It is not about a denial of things themselves but that the identity of a chariot is ultimately a concept that is synthesized by our mind.

In this way, Buddhism reconciles duality with nonduality. The conventional truth is understood to be subsumed within the ultimate truth.

It is the same with the great Madhyamaka understanding of "Nirvana and Samsara are one." The conventional play of forms known as samsara is nondual with the ultimate realization of Nirvana. The separation between the two is ultimately illusory and the result of ignorance.

Thus, we see that the ultimate truth pertains to the deeper, absolute nature of reality beyond the surface level appearances and distinctions as generated by the discriminating mind. It is here where it becomes clear that the conventional is indeed the realm of perception, whereas the ultimate is direct realization of reality itself as experienced by the awakened mind.

The doctrine of Two Truths pertains to the difference between how things are perceived versus how they truly exist.

The first is referred to as conventional truth, while the second is referred to as ultimate truth.

The conventional includes concepts, labels, and distinctions that serve the purpose of aiding us in our navigation of the world. We perceive objects, events, places, and individuals as distinct entities with specific characteristics, which allows us to intelligibly interpret a vast sea of information.

The conventional is the realm of duality, which is just to say the variety of poles such as light & darkness, order & chaos, good & evil, life & death, or hot & cold. Conventional reality is, in essence, a play of many spectrums as phenomena always appear along one particular range or another and never in isolation. The various poles are merely the extreme ends of these various spectrums, and it is this to which the term duality really refers.

Conventional reality is characterized by conditioned existence. This is known by the term samsara, which means the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, and rebirth. It is from being trapped within samsara that beings experience duhkha, or suffering, which is the starting point of the Four Noble Truths.

Another distinguishing aspect of conventional reality is its transient and temporal nature. It is fundamentally impermanent and always in flux, with old forms constantly transforming into new forms in a seemingly ceaseless play of pure activity. The measurement of this transformation of forms is called time, and the experience of it is subjective in nature.

Conventional truth pertains to the relative understanding of the world. The word relative is used because everything within this sphere of reality is defined in relation to other things. One thing can never be defined in isolation from something else and always arises within a vast web of interdependent phenomena. This is the meaning of the phrase dependant origination and is the basis out of which the law of karma operates.

Overall, conventional reality encompasses the diverse array of worldly and mental phenomena, and conventional truth operates within the realm of language, concepts, and designations as distinguished by the discriminating mind. Therefore, conventional truth can be summed up as the perception of phenomena by the human mind.

This is the guy (and his dad) that basically “invented” mewing, the OG’s.
I remember watching them back around 2014 iirc when they didn’t even have 10k subs.
Now everyone and their mom is mewing. Bless their souls.

#Geopolymer #History

*Situated next to Cusco in the Inca heartland of Peru, Sacsayhuaman is one of the most incredible ancient structures in the world. It’s truly mind-boggling how such enormous blocks of stones can be so randomly shaped yet so perfectly put together. The origins of the megalithic blocks of Sacsayhuaman, Peru, have long been a source of debate because it really feels like a genuine mystery.

These are large blocks of limestone, sometimes huge, most of which seem to pillow or bulge out instead of having straight, sharp cut faces. Some blocks seem to curve around corners, others have scoop marks on the surface and a number have the famous nubs. There are many other seemingly bizarre and unnatural features. Each block is irregular and each is unique yet the joints between these limestone blocks are perfect. So how is this even possible?

I’ve speculated in the past that maybe some kind of stone softening agent was applied, possibly some kind of acid. At the end of the day, we can stare at pictures and speculate forever; what we have to do is look at the science. I’ve always said that samples need to be taken and the geology needs to be analysed and that will tell us everything we need to know about Sacsayhuaman.

Well, little did I know that such investigative work was done back in 2012 and in this study and take a detailed look at the geology of the blocks of Sacsayhuaman and so, once and for all, we should be able to answer the question - are they artificial geopolymer or natural rocks? This video is the geological truth of Sacsayhuaman.*
