Human beings cannot bear too much reality! For all our past certainties have lighted fools to a dusty death. Therefore, love, love brief candles!

Buddhist Heart Sutra

Gate gate pāragate pārasamgate bodhi svāhā.
Gate gate pāragate pārasamgate bodhi svāhā.

Namo Avalokitesvarāya
Paṭipajjati gambhīraṃ paññāya pāramitāya,
Passati pañcakkhandhā suññatāya sabbena,
Atikkamati sabbadukkhaṃ.

Once you can observe your thoughts without engaging with them, you begin to realise you are not your thoughts 🤔

You are not your jealousy
You are not your hatred
You are not your anger

I read this book when I was young. Never understood what it meant.

But it turns out that he translated Buddhist insights into scientific evolutionary cosmology 🤔

Past two nights have been difficult with the flu!

Flu is a virus.
Inert on its own but if it manages to get inside a cell it can replicate rapidly!

This is known as dependent origination in Buddhism.

Ancient wisdom meets science! 🤔

Here's a video showing off some of the movement mechanics in Speck.

Speck is a rolly bouncy momentum platformer with secrets, puzzles, a story; all that good stuff.

I've got lots of development videos from the start so I might make a thread showing how we got here.

Hey! Just starting on my #game development journey. I've been a visual artist & writer for a good while now, and #gamedev is something I've had a curiosity for. It feels like it has to happen, so here I am! I'm going to be sharing my progress, and I would love to get to know you and your work.

Thinking of indie game development as a hobby 🤔

Good idea ? Bad idea? Waste of time?

Spending any time in malls drains me! 🤔

On the other hand spending any time nature uplifts me!

The more I meditate, less I need the distraction of TV, Social Media etc 🤔

If you observe your thoughts you can see the wild goose chase the mind does. 🤔 Its like clicking on internet hyper links and you can go back sometimes to the first click 🤔

Its fascinating that the process of dying recorded in the Tibetan Book of the Dead maps neatly into the modern neuroscience view of the dying process! 🤔

Sometimes, why the seemingly unconnected series of images and thoughts in quick succession? 🤔

#TibetanBookOfTheDead

Natively known as Bardo Thodol.

It looks like quite an adventure after death! Encountering bright lights, compassionate beings and wrathful deities! 🤔

And your path to liberation is recognising that these encounters are a projection of your mind!

Absolute Nothing is absence of all properties.

Existence is a property.

Therefore Absolute Nothingness cannot exist.

In many religious traditions being born in the world is a curse because there is suffering.

In Buddhism being born in the human world is a great luck because here there is a great possibility of Enlightenment 🤔
