This is not only a Buddhist belief, but one that has been held by mystics and enlightened people for at least 3000 years. It is held to be not metaphor, but literally true and experienceable by anyone who cares to put in the appropriate meditation work.

In fairness you could just hang around on the War Thunder forums and be about as well informed as any expert...

The flavor you are looking for is jackfruit. Just go get one of those humongous jackfruits from the grocery and you can enjoy the taste of juicy fruit for way longer than you would like.

Isn't it hilarious to watch the ego realize that we are in a flow state and then try to rush in and experience that state? It's like, "Buddy... We were only IN that state because you weren't here for a minute."

For long fasts, where all you drink is water, there is a recipe for "snake juice", which is a blend of electrolytes that matches the body so your electrolyte balance doesn't get out of whack. It is far too salty to drink at full strength if you aren't fasting, but if you mix it into more water then it should be exactly what you need. You can then add flavoring or sweetener as desired:

  • 2L Water
  • 1 tsp potassium chloride (NoSalt/salt substitute)
  • 1 tsp sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
  • 1/2 tsp sodium chloride (Himalayan pink salt or mineral salt)
  • 1/2 tsp magnesium chloride.

You are not the first author to recognize that writing isn't something you are doing, but rather something that is being done through you.

"In the seen, there is only the seen. In the heard, there is only the heard. In the cognized, there is only the cognized..."

--Buddha

... Meaning that, when observed closely, there isn't a seer and the thing being seen. There is only seeing occurring.

You are noticing something very deep and profound here. Keep going.

Assuming you mean turning the bat perpendicular to the pitch and stopping it so that the ball just bounces off the bat, then no. The bat has to impart enough momentum to the ball to carry it over the wall. There is some elasticity to both the bat and the ball such that a fraction of the pitch speed is rebounded, but it is a low fraction. The pitcher would have to be pitching up near the speed of sound for the rebound to carry the ball very far.

That said, I can imagine a bunt where enough errors are made in the infield that the batter makes it all the way around without being thrown or tagged out.

Someone might be along to do the actual math, but the base answer is that there really isn't a way for a true, over the wall, home run to occur from a bunt.

Yes! Look directly into one's own experience at whatever is causing suffering in this moment and do not flinch away or be distracted until that suffering is seen through. This seeing-through usually comes in the form of a realization or knowing that goes much deeper than any mental knowing.

Thank you for posting this!

Depends on what your budget and diy ability is. You might consider getting one of the GM Brightdrop vans, which are no longer being manufactured and are therefore way cheaper than they were. 275+ miles of range and full standing room. There are companies who convert them if your budget allows that. We should receive ours in August.
