“She saw that all phenomena arose, abided, and fell away. She saw that even knowing this arose, abided, and fell away. Then she knew there was nothing more than this, no ground, nothing to lean on, stronger than the cane she held. Nothing to lean upon at all, and no one leaning… And she opened the clenched fist in her mind and let go, and fell, into the midst of everything.”

- The moment that Teijitsu, 18th century abbess of Hakujuan, near Eiheiji, Japan learned to let go.

Fair point. My only hesitation is that people in all kinds of religions, and even some with no religion, talk about finding peace, purpose, and meaning through their beliefs or way of life. So I’m not sure those experiences tell us much about whether one particular worldview is true.

It’s very true nostr:npub1qyv5l4usxwd0z4eekcmymmk8vvalvlp69n9cdhqxeju8w2v9gtvsersqa7 my friend, that faithful people suffer terribly while people that don’t seem to care flourish. I believe that only happens in this realm.

Yes... what changes is the perspective, the angle that is observed, not the truth.

You know it! I was raised to believe the Bible as the literal word of God, from the 6 days of creation onwards. But then I became a man, and like the apostle Paul, I put away childish things.

Welp, I finally got around to upgrading my node from Bitcoin Core v29.3 to Bitcoin Knots v29.3. Also switched from Tor-only to Tor+clearnet. Been wanting to do this for several weeks, and glad I w...

knots is the move. The clearnet part I’d think twice about though, especially for anyone reading this thinking of doing the same. Your home ip hits every peer you connect to, isp can see you’re running bitcoin, and you’re opening inbound if you port forward. For a home node the extra peers don’t really justify that IMO.

Thanks… good points. That node is in a data center, not my home node. 👍
