Where's that driving music man who used to wail out back?

Shakyamuni Buddha and Mara Buryatia. Ground Mineral Pigment on Cotton. 1800s.

In the moments leading up to his enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, the Buddha was attacked by the armies of Mara. The armies came wielding many weapons— bows, arrows, tridents, and swords. However, as they approached the sitting Siddhartha, their armaments were transformed into flowers, which then showered him like offerings.

Symptoms of Spiritual Progress

More interest in understanding others rather than judging them.

Increased capacity for forgiveness. Forgiveness isn't approval. It doesn't excuse what happened. But there is an acceptance that it happened and a readiness to let go of the suffering it has caused.

Moments of spontaneous joy or kindness. Unprompted by events and unrelated to causes, sudden affection or appreciation is indication of compassion flowering.

Baseline mood is more peaceful, at ease, and playful. Days have their ups and downs but there is a natural gravitation toward an inner groundedness.

Triggers cease to trigger, or the reaction they trigger is diminished. This allows for an increased inner freedom. A trigger and the reaction it catalyzes is a form of being controlled. This is because all reactions are basically pre-programmed thoughts and feelings rather than fresh and spontaneous self-expression.

Sense of self is no longer sought or identified within external or internal things. The seeking of a sense of self is replaced with the living presence of awareness here and now.

Disclaimer: Do not read into this and extrapolate ways in which it may suggest progress is not happening. If these symptoms are present, take it only as encouragement and continue onward. Keep in mind every path has phases of dark nights--periods of intense inner turmoil and struggle. It does not signify regression or messing up; in fact it is a sign that some deeply buried shit is being confronted.

The fact that the police look at them as “reckless” makes them approach with caution. Regular police usually don’t do shit besides tell the kanjozoku to fuck off. However, an unmarked Mark X (single beacon) police car can easily catch up to the kanjozoku when they’re hitting VTEC in fifth gear going 200kmh+. But what the police lack is the kanjozoku’s advantage. What the kanjozoku have over the police is fearlessness and all out skills. If it turns into hot pursuit, the k’zoku’s will do what ever it takes to get away. This is their middle finger to the law and to the law abiding world.
