Sort Of True.......I guess As The Movie Progresses He Does His Fair Share Of "Plumbing"...... Cheers Glen.
Not a Buddhist, but I think they mean non-attachment to all phenomenal existence, including people, sex and anything else you can think of. Attachment is seen as the root of suffering.
Don't even become attached to non-attachment. “Try not to seek after the true Only cease to cherish opinions. (172)” ― Edward Conze, Buddhist Scriptures
Vipassana teacher S.N.Goenka speaks about non-attachment to objects and people here..... http://www.vridhamma.org/Question-and-Answers An excerpt....
i've never heard that - how do you become unattached to air? sounds like mental bullshit - in buddha state there is no terms - attachment or non-attachment
Buddhists believe the world of differentiation, or what Gilligan of Gilligan's Island called, "This, That, and the Other Thing!" is all maya or illusion. That means swallowing the red pill won't help because you'll stay in the matrix as long as you remain attached to anything as being separate and distinct.
Quantum mechanics implies reality is actually metaphorical, that is, metaphorically speaking you can say reality without dreams is a contradiction. Hence, the reason its impossible to live without dreaming and if you stay awake long enough you will merely hallucinate. Similarly, the idea of a holographic universe or that everything is some sort of computer matrix has no meaning outside of the context of reality. They are indivisible, like a shadow and the light casting the shadow, which is something we normally take for granted, however, the implication is that the light is also impossible without it casting a shadow. The matrix is impossible without it reflecting reality and vice versa. Another way to express this is the particle-wave duality with the matrix merely being an expression of the particle-like aspect of everything and reality reflecting the wave-like aspect or unity of everything. A better analogy than the matrix would be a nonsensical "singular-infinity" and you could say due to the extreme symmetry of a universal recursion in the law of identity everything resembles both the original creative impetus of the Big Bang and the inescapable finale of a Big Crunch. These are merely geometric representations of what can be expressed more fully using metaphors.
"Better" depends on who you're talking to, I'm mildly intoxicated at present so it took a little to digest what you were saying - which brings me to how could you accurately describe the phenomena on an everyday basis to people who have little time to study the principles presented. Awesomely eloquent, however 2-worded summations that target only conceptual models of reality leave little room for sharing the experience of such that is described. I'm just being a pain, but why not
