Look past words.
Words are not answers, they are guides. Let words inspire you to search for understanding directly. To pay closer attention to reality. To see clearly without biases.
Let words guide. Let awareness understand.
Practice well 🧘☀️💚🌍✨
So in that moment, that instant, the cry shot right up to the Brahma worlds. And this ten-thousand fold cosmos shivered & quivered & quaked, while a great, measureless radiance appeared in the cosmos, surpassing the effulgence of the devas.

Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta: Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu

It has been put into motion, it cannot be stopped.
"At Varanasi, in the Game Refuge at Isipatana, the Blessed One has set in motion the unexcelled Wheel of Dhamma that cannot be stopped by brahman or contemplative, deva, Mara, or God or anyone at all in the cosmos."

Entering the jhanas is not easy—the harder you try, the more difficult it becomes. But you can make yourself ready for them to open up to you.

I really love the wisdom of the Buddha, the wisdom of morality, concentration and insight. I wish I could communicate my understandings in a way that would benefit others. It is unclear to me how to do this.
It seems like I am mostly just talking to myself, which I feel like I have done my whole life. I thought getting on twitter I could find ways to branch out into other ways of sharing these ideas and interacting with people. I guess I need to experiment more.
With understanding comes our greatest potential. With awareness comes understanding.

Seeing how insane things can get brings much concern yet it also makes me wonder how good things could get. If we can learn, adapt and grow from this like we are capable.

What is happening? Why is there so much censorship? Do people realize they are willingly forfeiting their freedom to be "protected" by massive organizations?
Is this a conscious choice? Are we being manipulated by fear? Can we consider and discuss possibilities? For how long?

You can't let go...
If you SEE things as they are,
The 'let go' happens...

"Long have you thus experienced stress, experienced pain, experienced loss, swelling the cemeteries—enough to become disenchanted with all fabricated things, enough to become dispassionate, enough to be released.”
