I have to correct you, and teach you a basic Internet lesson, did you ever learn to use quotes in a search engine? Quotes make a lot of difference so try [code]buddha "eliminate feelings"[/code] including the quotes. Not only that returns only a few results (less than a thousand with Google), the first result goes "Neither Buddhist Yoga nor Hindu Yoga seeks, as often mistakenly thought, to eliminate feelings and turn practitioners into hollow robots".<br /><br />Nevertheless, others say different.<br />Why wouldn't elimination of feelings turn one into a hollow robot?<br /><br />"That is, self-immolation in toto, the end of being itself. Lack of emotions is actually a side effect."<br />It's not at all clear what is meant by being. <br />I would assume that the end of being would include the end of everything including the ability to communicate.<br />How could it not?

Left the store as quickly as possible and got out of the shopping centre still shaken.<br /><br />Given the choice of never having this experience again - well this body/mind would jump at never being so disturbed again.<br /><br />That it was so frightening - because imagine the legal nastiness if fondling had happened.<br /><br />No one would blame her for immodesty; this quiet, reflective body/mind would be treated as a pervert etc.<br /><br />Horrible experience ... take it away ..

Browsing the AF site, my first comment would be that these guys must have something to sell : claiming to have something ! NEW ! is the same old marketing trick. As a matter of fact they do sell books and DVD. My second comment is more positive, I appreciate such statement as "It is vital that one[...] utterly comprehends that the only person one needs to change, and indeed can change, is oneself." In other word, this is "soft" proselytism. Third and last comment is a question to Guilherme : "what happens of the human species once it has gotten rid of desires and feelings, of any survival instinct, what about reproduction for instance ?"<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BernardBernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807338852839737620noreply@blogger.com
