speaking of RAPTURE: synchronicity strikes deep.
"On whatever occasion, in a bhikkhu who has aroused energy, unworldly rapture arises—
on that occasion the rapture enlightenment factor is aroused in him, and he develops it, and by development it comes to perfection in him.
The body and mind of one whose mind is held in rapture, become tranquillized.
On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, the body and the mind of a bhikkhu whose mind is held in rapture become tranquillized"
@holon42 Are some claiming the rapture is today?
yes, apparently. it's all over CoSo today.
@holon42 I wouldn't object, but I don't see any more reason for it to be today. 🤷♂️
some people are just starved for extra drama. it's gotta be part of a plot or they're not happy.
@holon42 Yes. Many have turned the book of Revelation into a game of Clue.
yes, appalling and all too human.
