Guess: |

Question: |
How did the speaker come to see the nature of the mind? |
Answer: |
According to the passage, Milarepa came to see the nature of the mind through meditation and the instructions he received from his root guru, Marpa Lotsawa. He explains that his realization of the true nature of phenomena has made his body insubstantial like a rainbow, and transformed his defilements into wisdoms, dispelling the darkness of ignorance from his mind. Milarepa also states that he has attained the general siddhis, but the realization of the true nature transcends them. When asked to give an example of "seeing the nature of the mind," Milarepa sings a song that explains that the mind has no true reality and is therefore unborn and unceasing, and that one can only see the nature of the mind through the blessing of the root guru and lineage gurus. |

Question: |
Why did the Carthaginians have reason to be satisfied with these terms if they found the continuance of the war undesirable? |
Answer: |
The Carthaginians were satisfied with the peace terms because they had no hope of retaining Sicily, as the Romans had command of the sea and their fleet was defeated. They surrendered Sicily, and the independence and integrity of the Carthaginian state and territory were recognized in the usual form, with secondary stipulations that included the return of Roman prisoners of war and the payment of war contribution. The settlement of the question was entrusted to a commission that confirmed the proposal in substance, with the sum to be paid by Carthage for the costs of the war raised to 3200 talents. |

According to the passage, if there are no such faculties as those of the will and the scientific reason in ourselves, we must either have an innate idea of them, which would overthrow the whole system, or we can have no idea at all. The author also states that the process by which Hume degraded the notion of cause and effect into a blind product of delusion and habit, into the mere sensation of proceeding life associated with the images of the memory; this same process must be repeated to the equal degradation of every fundamental idea in ethics or theology. |

Guess: |
dissection |
Question: |
Why do some people try to measure themselves against the Romans and study the Greek poets as if they were objects for dissection? |
Answer: |
The passage is not answering the previously asked question about people trying to measure themselves against the Romans and studying Greek poets as if they were objects for dissection. Instead, it is discussing the topic of historical education and how it affects modern personality. The passage suggests that modern philosophy and historical education are often bound by politics, official institutions, and cowardice, leading to a mere phantasmagoria of learning. The author argues that only strong personalities can endure history, and the weak are extinguished by it. The passage also discusses the tendency of historical neuters to regard history as neutral and objective, leading to an unhealthy prejudice in favor of objectivity over subjectivity. |

Fell, where the blue flood rippled into white,
Methought from every cot the watchful bird
Crowed with ear-piercing power 'till then unheard; 765
Each

Rock'd the charm'd thought in more delightful dreams;
Chasing those long long dreams the falling leaf

The measured echo of the distant flail 770
Winded in sweeter cadence down the vale;
A more majestic tide the [Kk] water roll'd,
And glowed the sun-gilt groves in richer gold:
--Tho' Liberty shall soon, indignant, raise
Red on his hills his beacon's comet blaze; 775
Bid from on high his lonely cannon sound,
And on ten thousand hearths his shout rebound;
His larum-bell from village-tow'r to tow'r
Swing on th' astounded ear it's dull undying roar:

As we gaze from afar on the waves roar
Mountains of water now set in motion,
A thousand breakers of cliff-jarring ocean,
Striking the reef, driven in the wind's maw:
View now a fierce northerly, with emotion,
Stirring the storm to its loud-whistling core,
Then folding in air its vaster wing once more
Suddenly weary, as if at some new notion:
As we see a flame, spread in a hundred places,
Gather, in one flare, towards heaven's spaces,
Then powerless fade and die: so, in its day,
This Empire passed, and
overwhelming
all
Like wave, or wind, or flame, along its way,
Halted at last by Fate, sank here, in fall.

in the Third Dhyana?
Guess: |
thought |
Question: |
What is the significance of the absence of Deliverance in the Third Dhyana in relation to the practice of meditation? |
Answer: |
In the practice of meditation, the absence of Deliverance in the Third Dhyana is significant because it is a stage where body consciousness is absent and there is no craving for visible things, which should be opposed in the Third Dhyana. However, the purpose of producing the Third Deliverance is to gladden the mind which the meditation on loathsome things has depressed and to contemplate on an agreeable physical object, which helps to remove or render defilements more distant and to obtain mastery in absorption. The mastery in absorption has the result of producing qualities such as Absence of Contention and supernormal powers of the Aryans. The difference between the Deliverances and the Dominant Ayatanas is that the former only deliver one from the obstacles to liberation, while the latter attains domination of their object, including the view of the object as one desires and the absence of any defilement provoked by the object. The All-Encompassing Ayatanas have Kamadhatu for their object and are realized by an ascetic in the Fourth Dhyana. |
