Still one of my favorite #Astrophotography shots I ever took. It shows the core details of The Great Nebula in Orion. You can even see the 4 separate stars in the trapezium.
@Kobegeek Yea, whats up?
Best one yet, GoT spoilers ahead...
@mngrif Its not American unless you are offended
@Liberty4Masses No worries, I saw it so nothing spoiled. Just trying t look out for others.
@Liberty4Masses Luckily i already saw the show. But please use a CW to be respectful of those who have not.
@Gargron Whats the game?
@Gargron Morning man, hope all is well
@post It is temporarily disabled. Been in the hospital but on the mend now so should get to reenabling it very soon.
@InvaderXan To be fair this is no more an optical illusion than a projector using film would be.
@lanodan oh god, the horror!
@lanodan All they had to do was flip the background too :(
"Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment."
