Reality -or- the Five Aggregates in Buddhism is made up of Data Streams. The Data of sight.. of sound.. smell.. touch.. taste.. thought.. perception.. and emotion.. compiled into a Movie about 'something'. Although severely fragmented, demented with megatons of snippets.. for most, these movies are very real. They call it living, experiences and existences. Some call it the show about nothing, random and infinitely entertaining. But there are also many who see these data as forceful change, consistently impermanent, unsatisfactory and without Self. They are plain illusions and one simple path to liberation.
How?
The Data holds the secrets to the ways things are kept in motion. Forcefully jumping from one point of view to the next.. on and on.. again and again. Dreaming forever. It appears that One consciousness can get towed around for 27.75 eons, elevated high, pushed down low into the mud, dragged through the concrete and still arrive nowhere. That the PURPOSE is to become lost and to 'never wake up'. Getting a glimpse of this malignant purpose is one way of realising the First Noble Truth of 'Dukkha' or suffering.
How has your data been treating you?
