Sky-Air-Fire-Water-Earth.
Form-Sensation-Perception-Mental Formation-Consciousness.
Craving-Aversion-Ignorance.
Seeing things without any true or false impression about it-seeing it for what it is, with no definition.
"Knowing arose."
Luminosity.
Suffering's origin is craving for sensual pleasures, existence and extermination.
Suffering's end comes from the relinquishment of and freedom from this craving.
None of these concepts is mine. I'm trying to learn from what enlightened men shared with us long ago.
Walking through life with a bubble around you. A light blue bubble, that doesn't shimmer, but it does wiggle and flow. It reaches out to envelop other things, other people; plants, dogs and cats...its your "oohla." Its not a word, "oohla," its a feeling, almost an emotion. Its the knowledge, love and understanding you carry with you. Bits of it can detach and stay behind as you travel through life; you always have more. After a walk, you can look behind you and see oohla hanging around a leaf you watched float to the ground, or a squirrel running up a tree with a drop of oohla on his head, right between his ears.
Not even this concept is mine. All concepts belong to all people. It came to me, today, just now, but it has been here forever, just like you and I and everything else. You cannot create matter, you only modify or rearrange what already exists. Thoughts are the same-they float around, idly, calmly looking for a brain to trickle into, and when they find one, they hang out in there for awhile, and then they leave, one way or another. If enough people hook up on the same idea at the same time, great things can happen.
