I’m this kind of Buddhist

Story time.

Recently I went to a small town in Colorado called Crestone which is supposed to be some kind of sacred place, it’s got about 1000 residents but there’s a lot of legit Buddhist and Hindu temples there. Thought there might be something to it if actual Tibetans and other Buddhists had picked it as a site for their temples. We were getting into town around midnight, and as we turned off the highway towards town, me and my gf both felt a strong anxiety and very uncomfortable, and the discomfort grew as we got into town. Neither of us said anything at the time but I could tell she was uncomfortable from her fidgeting. It felt like some kind of creature or demon would appear from the darkness in the beams of my headlights at every turn.

We got to the Airbnb, we were staying in a tiny cabin only lit by a gas fireplace. Neither of us could sleep, we both had weird vivid dreams all night. I felt like I woke up every 45 minutes or so. Around 3 am the gas fireplace turned on to full blast by itself, there’s no timer attached or anything, the only way to operate it is with a dial that you need to push and turn. Poltergeist shit. The worst part, which I only found out in retrospective, is that my gf said she saw shadow figures above the bed several times as she woke up throughout the night, didn’t tell me that until after we left.

When we checked out the town itself the next morning it had a really weird vibe, the people all were dead behind the eyes hippie drifters with only one or two exceptions. There was one woman who worked as a psychic/fortune teller that we passed, she looked straight up demonic and had a really uncomfortable vibe about her. When the sun set again, the town was completely dead, with only the sound of the wind and the full moon lighting it. It seriously felt like there were spirits running all over the place, there was a strange sense of activity and a freaky feeling of chaotic presence all around. We didn’t want to leave the cabin, lol. We didn’t end up staying there overnight, we headed out early. I’m thankful for this as my gf didn’t tell me about the shadow people until after we left, if I had known that I wasn’t just imagining the bad vibes in that place I would have left even earlier.

The way back was lit only by the full moon, no street lights, as we drove down the winding mountain roads and long stretches of empty highway. As we got deep into the mountains, within the span of 15 minutes, two separate massive owls swooped down out of the dark at my windshield and almost hit my car. Felt like a bad omen, and just after that we ran into a freak snowstorm that almost forced us off the road. I could only see about 5 feet in front of me but I wasn’t going to pull over on a remote mountain road at 1 am and possibly get snowed in, especially feeling like the spookiness from town was right on our heels. Felt like evil spirits from that town followed us into the mountains and stirred up some shit.

I wonder what the fuck happened to the place, why it felt so creepy and weird if it had attracted all these buddhist monks and other spiritual teachers. We didn’t end up going to the temples because my gf wanted to leave, I wish I had the chance to ask the monks about it.

I want to go back there now with the boys and do some spirit wrangling

Bliss & Void - simpul as.

The true crusader aim was paradise, not just a piece of rocky terrain. Jerusalem did not mean the arid, insignificant settlement on Mount Zion. It meant a heavenly city.

Even the Book of Revelation makes that clear. The crusaders were heroic pilgrims, embracing hardships, trials and even martyrdom for the sake of something higher, holier, eternal. A world of difference from the fat, placid burghers of their days, who never stirred from their towns except to trade and hoard gold. Sacred warriors like the Templars and the Hospitallers practiced self-denial, asceticism, spiritual warfare. Just as much as any devout monk shut in his cell. Or indeed, like any good Muslim intent on jihad.

~ Evola

“The Stoics did, in fact, hold that emotions like fear or envy (or impassioned sexual attachments, or passionate love of anything whatsoever) either were, or arose from, false judgements and that the sage – a person who had attained moral and intellectual perfection – would not undergo them. The later Stoics of Roman Imperial times, Seneca and Epictetus, emphasise the doctrines (already central to the early Stoics’ teachings) that the sage is utterly immune to misfortune and that virtue is sufficient for happiness.”

Greek and Roman stoicism is very compatible with Buddhism.

“Arose from false judgements” is the key here, samsara is the grasping of illusion. It is the result of projecting permanence and self existence onto manifest reality, which, without exception, is impermanent and lacking self-existent nature.

Like attracts like. That is the impersonal, mechanical law of the astral plane, as scientific and inflexible as the physical laws of our universe. Karma works along these lines, it’s cause and effect with regard to this law.

So, roughly, if you create suffering and the causes of suffering, you attract suffering and the causes of suffering. If you create happiness and the causes of happiness, you attract happiness and the causes of happiness. What you create, and what you fixate on, is what you attract. This becomes a massive web of forces and attractions: the astral, karmic causes for material occurrences.
