Lit.Org like death is an illusion...or how I managed to not die today and come back h
This is a true story:

about an 3 hours ago I avoided what would have been a fatal car accident to myself and perhaps to others around me....but due to a certain chain of events of pure chance coincidental timing...my life was spared. I was shook-up by the situation for awhile...I thought back on all the days minute to minute events and if things had been off by just a few seconds, I might not be here in this instant writing this on the Lit.Org which TOO IS still alive & well.

During these past three hours I managed to walk away from the car accident (without a scratch)...I walked to my doctors office in a state of shock (I think) for his office was only about a block away....and then I called my husband on my cell phone to tell him he had to call someone to come get the car and tow it away because it was sitting somewhere all blown up....yet, no one was hurt, no property damage to anyone or any thing, just a blown up car with no brakes, that had it been just one second earlier been on another road (traffic filled and in a 45 mile zone) instead of in the middle of an empty parking lot at a 5 mile per hour speed, well, the results would have been so different. The car blew up, the brakes stopped working....and so on.....much more...too much story to tell except to say that I am alive and I am here.

While at the doctors office I managed to read more of my book by my Sogyal Rinpoche "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" (friend of my old friend Dr.Kenneth Ring & my old Lama Wangchen Rinpoche) funny had I had that book with at the time, normally I wouldn't have had it in my purse, but...at the doctor's office I managed to read a couple of chapters that brought to the importance of understanding of ego, the hard part, when you start to see it for what it is and it isn't pretty...and I realized that that car, that accident, and my ego believe that anything about who I think I am and what what my perceptions of reality are is all illusion...I learned so much and was brought into another state of being concerning coming closer to losing this illusion of clinging, desire, ego of self....I think "I am" but now I realize what my old friend Yogi John used to say all the time "I am no one"....we are all no one...there is no one...there is one, yet my ego brought me back here to this most mundane of all activities and illusions called the Lit.Org. Strange. Perhaps I am still in shock. Perhaps I am dead and just haven't realized it yet. Perhaps I have transcended death and the Lit.Org is all there is...the great consciousness of Nirvana....??? Gee, I hope not. But anyway, I am glad to see the Lit.Org back up and running illusion or not.

Blessings;-)

near death experience is like a sort of short path to enlightenment....
a good Tibetan Buddhist friend of mine once said that to me about near death experiences, oftentimes called NDE (where you are actually declared clinically dead)...I've had several of those in my lifetime in the hospital and some that were simply near death but not quite, sort of like today's incident...strange...I don't feel very enlightened. Yes, I must be dead and this must be Nirvana...(perhaps I do have a concussion after-all?) ...such mysteries and nonsensical blah blah...like the endless cycle of birth and rebirth...the suffering never ends. If this is Nirvana then I'm outta here....bye;-)

Near Death
Wow

Just read about your accident.... Glad you are OK.

It seems to be a contradiction of everything that happened when I cartwheeled my car on the motorway...

Not to go into too much detail I was pleased the car sort of wrecked itself around me leaving me and my ex intact.... I wasnt worried in the slightest once I realized no arms or legs were missing... I did feel sorry for my 1st wife who was shaken a bit.... I was gratefull for the Ambulance that arrived later to check us all over... not so much the Police Lady who was sort of more interested if the car was taxed and isured than any injury...???? donkey. she hadnt even got a decent torch to search for stuff that had abandoned the car as it cartwheeled which I advised her she would need to do if she was intent on locating documents...

Oh well No Brains no Feelings (as they say)

When I first appraised the situation lying in the dark...the car on its side... I thought out loud "Better get out of here in case this goes on fire" I heard the click of my ex wife's seat belt and she tumbled on top of me.... That brought back memories!!! Purly due to gravity this time I might add.. Then I gave her a "leg up" to climd out of the drivers window which was above us, before hoisting myself out onto a rather miserable rain covered bank.....

Not that I would want to do it again but I rather enjoyed the experiance without injury, nd it saved me a lot of trouble getting rid of that Damned Car...

Eric & Lena's NEAR DEATH experiences in contrast subjectivity.....
Hi Eric, thanks for stopping by and sharing too. I have a couple more things to share. Who knows maybe we can get a whole lot of others to share as well...maybe not. Maybe they haven't made it to Lit.Org or to Nirvana yet, maybe?

1.)
“We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.”

2.)
“There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things”

[Kalu Rinpoche quotes: ( Kalu Rinpoche, Tibetan Lama, Buddhist Leader, Kalu Rinpoche is my own teacher's teacher (Wangchen Rinpoche and also his uncle)]

-----------------------------------

1.)
"There is only here and there is only now, all things moves slowly, in illusion, yet the one thing you will always count on is that things will change....nothing stays the same...just like the Lit.Org & all it's sentient personalities"

"I am currently on a quest to find my new master, new teacher, one within closer proximity to my home...Tibetan teachings are now my complete chosen path, no more eclectic wishy-washy on the road to enlightenment...commitment works, all rest is bullshit"

[Lena Reppert quotes: (famous eclectic spiritual searcher/ex-social/activist/conservative/liberal/
independent/artist/sculptor/wife/mother/grandmother/
sentient being living out the last few years of her most recent physical life in this dimension)

Thanks RCallaci, for everything, and I mean that. You've done a lot. You and only you have kept it afloat this long. I'm am glad to have told you the complete truth about a certain ex-moderator, and recently I have come to find out (from a super reliable respected Lit.Org source) that in fact all along Clair and her sister Arc are in actually one in the same person. Just as a certain Viper9 was a slew of certain persons in one as well when he competed against himself in the controversial write-off competition a couple of years back...what a fiasco that was, eh? Truth is so crude and often so obvious, but not always to the blind. If what I have said here is inappropriate, so be it. Erase the truth. It is would not be the first time that happened here at the Lit.Org...in any case, again thank you for all that you have done and may change be with you and the lit.org for the good...long live truth in all writing and advertising, yeah;-)

Like Shannon, Franscisco, Lucie and a few others, I am now off to my life responsibilities and pilgrimages...

"all phenomena lacks inherent existence, it will change"

Huzzah!
I am so happy to see lit up and almost running again. Considered a lengthy break but, once the decision was out of my hands, I missed the place. Guess the old adage about not knowing what ya got 'til it's gone is true.

( Posted by: desvelado [Member] On: May 7, 2008 )

Huzzah is that the same as woo-hoo?
Desvelado! If you don't mind I think I will refer to you by your name definition of "Francisco, the vigilant wakeful wise one" or just "He the awake on" (very Zen by the way) or "He who sees all" or he who isn't sleepy"...nah, I don't like that last one too much, but the first ones have a certain mysterious and mystical ring to them that I like. In any case, glad you decided to show up again. Hello, goodbye. Check you pm.

( Posted by: TheRealKarmaTseringLhamo [Member] On: May 8, 2008 )

Si, Lena
Huzzah is an English interjection of joy or approbation, so yes it is like woo-hoo.

I like "Francisco, the vigilant, wakeful, wise one." I like the word desvelado because it leans toward Buddhism practices.

( Posted by: desvelado [Member] On: May 8, 2008 )

~HUZZAH~ it is then...
and yes, to be enlightened is to be "awake"...in a much more awake sense of awake. You got it.
