I understand agnosticism but not atheism. I was only briefly an atheist, in the part of my life where I thought I was smartest. funny

@sampler @meowski @sathariel youre correct the highest samadhi is sahaj samadhi in my understanding. patanjali describes the types of samadhi in his raja yoga sutras

@sathariel @meowski @sampler @unmind I mean the question is are you fully enlightened if you still reincarnate? I think in theory yes but from looking at the dalai lama, no. maybe zen is better than vajrayana though idk

@sathariel @meowski @sampler @unmind zen buddhism has a different approach to theravada or hindu yoga because they aim to reincarnate and while zen buddhism involves loss of ego they regain their ego for the benefit of all beings. is my understanding at least. zen sees no difference between samsara and nibbana and thus prefers samsara because while embodied you can help others discover their buddhahood.

@unmind evil is just part of Gods lila yes, and in that regard is created by God along with maya. but God is perfectly good and upholds dharma and is averse to adharma. and all things proceed from God and cannot occur without Gods will. and yet God gives us free will which is where evil comes from...

@sathariel @meowski @sampler that isnt dhyana. read patanjalis yoga sutras if youre curious about traditional meditation perhaps

@sampler @meowski @sathariel yes one can control the senses by concentrating the mind deeply, but an accomplished yogi also learns to control the senses by controlling prana

@sathariel @meowski without sensory distractions one can concentrate the mind and eventually becomes aware of pure consciousness

@sathariel @meowski when I say sense control I mean control of the sense faculties through yoga. a yogi can withdraw the senses like a tortoise its limbs

@meowski @sathariel lots of cultures and religions have found fasting and other forms of asceticism to be purifying but only sense control can permanently eliminate desire for the sense objects
