Buddhist Rehabilitation
Re-enabling glitched systems
Unsteady
→ Steady =
Ready
The Buddhist
Rehabilitation means, all 84000 of them, serve only one purpose, namely, to
return or advance an unsteady, therefore unstable to stasis. An unsteady
system is not @-rest. Not-@-rest it is unstable, uncertain, incomplete,
further experienced as being alive and real. It self-signals its unsteadiness
etc. in the high level communications medium (or language) of the various
feelings of discomfort (read: suffering (Pali: dukkha). The ancient
Buddhist metaphor for @-rest was Nirvana. The ancient
Buddhist metaphor for not-@rest was Samsara. Nirvana was
the deathless, because steady (i.e. unperturbed, hence ‘On Stand-by’)) state
experienced as (the state of) pure (because random) potential and whose
qualities were certainty, completion, stillness, perfection, God (so Meister
Eckhart), Brahman (so Vedanta) and so on. Samsara was
the life → death (Pali: mata, later mara (i.e. ‘the Evil One’)) process
was experienced uncomfortably as perturbed, unsteady, hence impure,
incomplete, uncertain etc.,. Samsara, in the Old Buddhist view, was expended
(or wasted) pure potential made impure. The response
to ever changing, arising and ceasing, incomplete, uncertain and chaotic
Samsara was, in the Buddhist (half) view, suffering (i.e. the various
intensities of discomfort). The task
(hence logic) of Buddhist Rehab was, consequently, returning (or advancing)
an unsteady, hence suffering unsteady state to steadiness (certainty,
completeness, and full, unexpressed potential). Unsteady → Steady → Ready (as pure potential) In everyday
terms, Buddhist ‘meditation’ serves to steady a system, i.e. to relax, indeed
to reduce dis’stress, thereby reducing the response to dis’tress, namely the
various intensities of discomfort. As the Sakya
Buddha demonstrated during his approach to and attainment of samma-sambodhi,
then awakening, then enlightenment, then bliss and, finally, nirvana,
Buddhist Rehab is only half of a whole process. The whole
process of returning to steadiness and full awakening (understand: arousal)
happens like this: Unsteady → Steady → Ready →
