There’s nothing Real to be gained by studying anything human. Maybe that’s why I never take the Stoics seriously. Much of what they say is about being a better human. But if you’re still wholly human when you die, have you failed?
Reblog these posts as much as you like. No copyright is imposed. About the author: Keith is a "pratyeka" mystic according to Buddhism because his Mystical Experiences of Reality (MER) were spontaneous. (He is not a Buddhist or member of any religion). He had MERs every year from the age of 15 to 35 years of age. Pratyeka mystics don't teach, preach, evangelise, or prosletise what they know. However, when Keith recognises those who are chosen and driven to seek Ultimate Reality he does reach out to them, cautiously, to help them stop floundering and recognise themselves, know what is happening to them. Then his inclination is to remove himself unless called upon. All Is Well.

No we have not failed, but it could be better. As long as we cling to our humanity we cannot fully realize what lies beyond it.
I should add, I have the impression all humans are in this process anyway, ready or willing or not! I was told there are no failures but I have no experience of that from my personal experiences so far …
