You're (well the book you quote) is just slinging around a bunch of ill defined terms. It's mumbo-jumbo.

The truth will eventually win, that's why people are allowed to post the truth in this thread despite the false subject matter.

I guess you are not as big on the "truth" as you claim, since you lied in your previous post; those were not your last words to me in this thread.

Do not take this world for granted.
It could disappear for you at anytime.

You have probably already forgotten the reality of the situation, so imagine your heart just stopped right now. It happens all the time; it is the number one killer and how most people die. This means it is the way you will most likely die. They call it heart failure. Your heart does not need a reason to stop. It can just stop. They will come up with a reason later, but that does not help you. Naturally, the older you get, the higher chance of it happening, but it happens to young people also, even to kids who are in great shape.

About two people die every second, in one way or another.
People like you.

Heart failure, strokes, blood clots, and accidents happen to young people, so do not think it cannot happen to you. Every time you eat, you could choke. Every time you get in a car, another driver can kill you, so do not be surprised when death comes to you. You could die today, and many people just like you will.

It does not just happen to others; the opposite is true. It happens to everyone, and the first step to the ultimate truth is accepting it and what it means. Death is the biggest thing that happens in life. It is the most important thing that happens.

Death is the most certain thing in life, and most people are not ready for it. If you have even a little bit of imagination, it should scare you. You can use that fear to get you in the present; the fear will turn into true life and you will be home.

People taking for granted that they will live through the night are fools. Think about it; you have to breathe while you are semi-conscious for hours every night, and people just take it for granted. It is a miracle, and people need to see this incredible gift for what it is to live life to the fullest. Knowing God/life has to be with you doing everything to keep you alive without any help from you is a very secure, loving feeling and helps you sleep like a baby. No one sleeps alone or they would die. Something has to keep your heart beating and breathing and it is not you. Knowing this truth makes sleep much better.

The truth and the life teaches you how to live and how to die.

Any of you guys watch Cowboy Bebop? Did you all see that episode where this culty organization called Scratch is rounding up impressionable open-minded morons from the general populace to hypnotize and kill and upload their brains into a gigantic matrix system under the pretense of satisfying basically of all Buddhism's tenets?

Yeah that's what I basically get from this thread, that same slack-jawed adoration for something that deserves nothing more than criticism and judgement. When the claims being made are too stupid to be applied to reality and the claimant is resisting judgement out of some borderline coping mechanism then everything is fodder for trolls, as nothing good can come of it.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

This is the kind of posts I am waiting for, thanks.
I am thinking about to learn a martial art for the spiritual teachings part (and it can also be useful to be able to defend yourself some tragic times).
I will aslo learn yoga and music (already know guitar, I actually started again since I read the present, after a break of 3 years).

Rest of the posts : thanks for free bump.

If you're interested in taking a martial art for the spiritual side I'm afraid you're in it for the wrong reasons
