Return of the Doo

After 5 grueling days without a single post from the Doo, the Doo is back!

"Fear, desire, affectivity are manifestations of the pseudo-entity which constitutes pseudo-bondage. It is the entity, rather than the manifestations thereof, which has to be eliminated."

Doo: Wow, not sure how to interpret this one. Is it "stay away from things that are bad influences." Or could it be to keep oneself unaffected by stimuli. Or maybe it simply means "Kill yourself".

Chris: Look at you with some content! I'll have to dust the cobwebs off of "A Wise Doo Once Said" and add this quote.

Chris: "It is the entity, rather than the manifestations thereof, which has to be eliminated."
I think he means the pseudo entity is the ego and the manifestations are its symptoms. "Eliminate" the ego and the symptoms will just disappear along with it.

Chris: "Fear, desire, affectivity are manifestations"
Despite the Buddhist's teachings on the woes caused by desire, I'm not prepared to totally dismiss them. Nor am I about to move to a monastery or into the woods where desires become less relevant. I think there can be a balance between desire and detachment… I'm not there yet.

Chris:I'm not sure what Dlavor is but it sounds good!

Doo: ...
