Kama Sutta: Toiling for pleasure (Snp 4.1)

The Buddha, seeing a Brahmin cutting down trees on the banks of the Aciravatī River and preparing a field for sowing, spoke to him.
He spoke to the Brahmin again on several other occasions whenever he saw the farmer engaged in various operations in the field.
Very uplifted by the Buddha's courtesy, the Brahmin resolved to invite him to accept a meal when the field was finally ready for harvest.

| Who knew all my work could be ruined? |
The Buddha foresaw that all the Brahim's efforts would amount to nothing, so he visited to console him.
It was on this occasion that the Buddha saw that the man was receptive. With a chance to make a breakthrough, he taught him this sutra. At the climax of the discourse, the Brahmin awakened to the first stage of enlightenment (stream entry) and became a sotāpanna (Sn.vv.766-71; SnA.ii.511ff; J.iv.167f; cp. DhA.iii.284f; see also MNid.i.1ff).
- Elsewhere among the texts, in the Kāmanīta Jātaka (J.ii.212), this Brahmin is referred to as Kāmanītabrāhmana or the "Brahmin Kamanita."
What did the Buddha teach the that brought him to direct realization and enlightenment?

If one with lustful mind
Succeeds at feeling pleasure,
Such a mortal is pleased
With that wish fulfilled.
But if the impassioned person
Were to see those pleasures lost,
Then the addict would feel
As though by arrows pierced.
One who shuns pleasures of sense
Avoids treading on a serpent’s head,
As such this person by mindfulness
This tangled world transcends.
Obsessed with property and fields,
With money, estates, and servants,
With many pleasures, family and friends —
That person, overcome by greed,
Such weaknesses indeed bring down.
By dangers is that person sunk,
By disappointments overwhelmed —
As water enters a boat that leaks.
So let a mindful person avoid
Addiction and cravings for sense,
And with them abandoned, cross the flood,
As a boat is bailed to reach the Further Shore.
SUTRA: Sensual Pleasures
Sujato Bhikkhu (trans.), Anthology of Discourses (Snp 4.1); Dhr. Seven (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
If a mortal desires sensual pleasure
And that sense desire succeeds,
One may become elated,
Having got what was wished.
But for a person in throes of pleasure,
Aroused by desire,
If such pleasures go away,
It hurts like an arrow’s strike.
One who, being mindful,
Avoids sensual pleasures
Like side-stepping a snake’s head,
Transcends being stuck to the world.
There are many objects of sense:
fields, lands, and gold, cattle and horses,
slaves and servants, women and relatives.
When one lusts over these,
The weak overpower one
And by adversities is one crushed.
Suffering follows one
Like water in a leaky boat.
- (Bhikkhu Bodhi, Norman, and Ven. Ñāṇadīpa all have “enter” here, while Ven. Ṭhānissaro has “invades.” But this is a stock line, and it’s hard to read anveti as anything other than “follows.” Niddesa (Mnd 1:70.2) has anveti anugacchati anvāyikaṁ hoti. The metaphor is not that water “enters” a boat, but that a leaky boat already contains water and takes it along (like a shadow that always follows or an ox-cart following behind, as in the opening verses of the Dhammapada). That is why it has to be bailed out in the next verse.)
That is why a person, ever mindful,
Wisely avoids sensual pleasures.
Give them up and cross this flood,
As a bailed-out boat reaches the further shore.

Heal planet, stop pollution, but not Greta-Gore

Gore was called out for his hypocrisy for his mansion and heating bills, with the largest carbon footprint in the state. We live in a disposable culture, and Gore and Greta are symptoms. She was called out for taking planes all over, promoting her tinsel book. Gore sold his Current TV network to Al Jazeera. His motive? Millions.
We are radically left leaning liberals, and we love Mother Nature, and we want to save the environment and all the creatures in it (not eating flesh so that all may live in safety). Yet, we see through Greta being foisted on an unsuspecting public. And history tells us what a fake Gore was. He gave us George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, rolling over to hand them a stolen election. Them's is swamp politics. Trump isn't the first to complain. Black box voting machines, what a joke. Manipulation of the mainstream media, a bigger joke.

Science: 1st European cities were vegetarian
Aristos Georgiou, Newsweek, 1/5/24; Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
That's [in the cold Kiev Oblast, formerly part of Russia's Soviet Union] in what is now Ukraine and Moldova in Eastern Europe.
Prehistoric humans living in Europe's earliest mega-settlements ate a diet that was almost 100% vegetarian, a new scientific study from Germany has found.
In the study, published in the science journal PNAS, a team of scientific researchers investigated the agricultural and economic system of ancient "mega-sites," which were built around 6,000 years ago by the Trypillia ("Three Fields") culture.

- Science proves it: Isotopes prove advanced, integral crop production, and stockbreeding strategies nourished Trypillia mega-populations | PNAS
These early European cities covered up to 320 hectares (791 acres) and housed as many as 15,000 inhabitants.
At the time, the mega-sites were the largest settlements in the world, according to the study [though probably smaller than countless megacities in the Amazon now being discovered in the Americas/"New World" using LiDAR technology].
Each of the mega-sites existed for multiple generations. But to date, the economy of the Trypillia settlements has remained poorly understood, particularly when it comes to how exactly the mega-sites' inhabitants sustained themselves with food.
Those inhabitants were largely farmers who grew crops and raised livestock. But how could such large groups of people have secured their food supply with the technology available at the time?
- [This is an odd question since the larger an organism or population, the more likely it is to be vegetarian to sustain itself -- e.g., the whale, gorilla, cow, water buffalo, and formerly the grizzly bear -- because it is much more efficient in terms of its impact on the environment. Imagine, e.g., all the grain, not to mention the water and other greens, needed to convert to just one pound of animal flesh. If humans ate that grain directly, they would be far healthier and many more of them could be fed.]
The latest study has shed new light on this issue, finding that the mega-sites survived thanks to an "extremely sophisticated food and pasture management" system, Frank Schlütz, a paleoecologist at Germany's Kiel University and one of the authors of the study, said in a press release.
The team came to these conclusions after analyzing nitrogen and carbon isotopes in human remains, animal bones, and charred crops found at Trypillia ("Three Fields") settlements, which enabled them to shed light on their ancient food webs.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Here's what the ancient diet was like throughout history
In the 1970s, a gastroenterologist created an eating plan that was supposed to imitate the Paleolithic diet, but he got many things wrong.
For instance, he assumed that ancient people didn't eat wheat [a high source of toxic gluten, a plant lectin used to protect itself from being eaten].
This proves that many people don't understand how ancient humans ate.
The human diet progressed far earlier in history than most people think. For instance, people have cooked for at least one million years, and Neolithic people processed milk [a source of hard to digest lactose, which most humans do not have the enzymes to process after they have been weaned from their mothers].
Most may be surprised how early people hunted, cooked, and farmed. Read on to learn how diet devolved throughout human history.

The footage, which was captured and analyzed by a team of scientists searching for proof of space [or Hollow Earth] alien life, showcases the moment a small moving object transforms into a fleet of synchronized UFOs (unidentified aerial phenomena).

How UFOs move: The tech

Among all the voices confusing the mainstream media, like Grusch, who is there to trust? We put our faith in ER Dr. Steven M. Greer, MD (siriusdisclosure.com). Why?
Dr. Greer has been a reliable source of factual information for decades.

| ETs and UFOs are real, but we're being deceived. |
The U.S. military-industrial complex craves ever more advanced technology, things to weaponize to control the planet, and physics knowledge beyond our outdated textbook theories. Dr. Greer is now on gaia.com and still making documentary features.
