well that depends what the sound is. belching, farting and snoring, the sound of pee hitting the toilet seat? and how about some words from king sol-o-mon? "An argumentative wife is like a constantly dripping tap."
very off-topic plus sounds like a sexist rant. without perceiving womenhood, the generation of compassion is difficult plus the transformation of sexual energy into path stream energy will struggle to occur. path stream energy requires right perception rather than wrong perception. suppressive asubha alone will not bring about path stream because path stream requires full open consciousness rather than suppressed mind
male/female all fall to bits when one gains some comprehension of unity, or non-duality
just theory & again off-topic. male/female fall to bits when the mind is like a zombie, in denial of reality. in nature, there is female elements (eg. ovum) & male elements (eg. sperm). blindly believing there is no sperm & no ovum via suppression of thinking does not negate the female & male elements in nature
it is also important to understand The Enlightened did not teach non-duality. why? because "non-duality" is a subjective rather than objective perception
falling back on non-duality does not justify our arguments
male/female is an illusion that we choose to perpetuate. mind is not male or female, although it can create the illusion of both.
wrong. there is no illusion. if our mind remains objective, observant & clear, it can see the male & female elements & energies operating in nature, when the various plants, insects, animals & other life forms come together for reproduction.
this is not an illusion. what is illusion is our belief it is illusion
the male & female energies & elements will continue to operate in the universe, long after our subjective supressed mind will end, forever, after the ending of the physical body.
yes. there will be no reincarnation. to believe otherwise is the real illusion
it is one's choice to identify with being a male or female
wrong. it is one's choice to not identify with being male or female. the physical body is comprised of male &/or female energies, elements & components. but it is the mind that identifies (bhava; jati). thus there is choice about mental identification but no choice about physical composition (just as a female body has no choice to menstruate and a male body no choice to have seminal emission)
from my experience and observations i would say (loosely put) that usually beings (becomings) are born into the body form that they are attached to - but not always.
you obviously have no experiences & observations of such things. if you could observe such things then you could also observe other human happenings, which would have not resulted in you stuck holding the bag with LYC
you are declaring you have observed beings (atman souls) being reincarnated into physical bodies. this claim is unsubstantiated. plus it contradicts what you said before about the reality of identification. "becoming" is a mental state of identification. "becoming" is not reincarnation.
the mental qualities, for better or worse, are not unique to any particular physical form
yes & no. the enlightened mental state (not Sarco's) is not unique to any particular physical form. but the ordinary unenlightened (Sarco) mental state is often conditioned by particular physical form
regardless. Sarco, you have contradicted & refuted your own post by admitting there is difference in particular physical form
