"i think that discipline and denying are 2 different things."

I used to agree. But now I see that it really depends on what discipline is - meaning who is doing the disciplining.

If the mind decides to discipline the mind, what good is that? It's the same as denying - you feel like you've accomplished something and you've only enhanced your mind.

For me, I like getting to the core of things. Discipline and denial and morality and spirituality... etc, etc...
All these topics are surface oriented. When we look below the surface to see who is doing them, we find the root - the self which seeks to improve itself... but self-improvement is for weiners. Self-destruction is hard-core. :angry:
But the self doesn't have to be destroyed either. It just has to be seen for what it is - a bundle of thoughts bound by the cohesive force of intent as memory. Identification with the body and mind makes this bundle of thoughts seem more important than all the other thoughts arising in the universe. But we're not just this bundle. This cocoon can be broken and we can merge back into infinity.


Let's merge back into infinity for 40 days, just for the hell of it!
Sound fun? :lol: lmao!
