And paradoxically, the more you can admit that, the more free you are.

But yeah, 99.99% of our species is ignorant. And the .01% of us who aren't realized holding onto impermanent stuff (and it's all impermanent stuff) is the exact irrational behavior keeping us in chains. So they're not the ones in power anyway.

Jumping into a volcano might do it. I know the scientologists have something to do with valcanos. Maybe they're on to something. I think they thought their God alien thing came from a volcano though, so...

You were a cloud before and will be a cloud again.

Perhaps when you were a cloud before you asked yourself, how do I become a human? :)

I dunno, the other night I dreamed I was a butterfly and that was pretty bitchin.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
