RE: Spiritual Education Binge: Kālāma Sutta, Non-Dualism, Millenarianism, Millennialism, Messianic Age, Sacred Geometry and Lots of Thinking To Do
I see that you are somewhat into Buddhism, I have not really exercised my knowledge about these things, however, I have been able to get some useful information about it, and I also laughed a bit with the classic video of the movie downfall.
I give a Resteem to this publication even though I do not have many followers, because I know that after I do my personal study I will want to return here, and in that way the post will not be lost.
When it comes to Buddhism I personally think it is best to start with the basics and also stay away from Mahayana for a beginner because things can get very confusing there and lots of things also go into more mythical/legendary side of the things (which is totally fine) but it is the fundamental teachings like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhipakkhiy%C4%81dhamm%C4%81 that really matter. The 7 sets of 37 Bodhipakkhiyādhammā are said to lead all the way upto Nirvana/Enlightenment and will not stop you at any lower achievement.
Try the Buddhism - Spirituality sections of this post and you'll find a bunch of helpful links: https://steemit.com/minnowbooster/@vimukthi/how-i-joined-steem-and-what-i-m-publishing-on-it-being-a-polymath-and-writing-on-philosophy-buddhism-psychology-spirituality
I really appreciate the resteem.
Stick to the basics and develop yourself from there.

Thanks for this, I'll take a look immediately.
Bodhipakkhiyādhammā
In Buddhism, bodhipakkhiyā dhammā (Pali; variant spellings include bodhipakkhikā dhammā and bodhapakkhiyā dhammā; Skt.: bodhipakṣa dharma) are qualities (dhammā) conducive or related to (pakkhiya) awakening (bodhi).
In the Pali commentaries, the term bodhipakkhiyā dhammā is used to refer to seven sets of such qualities regularly mentioned by the Buddha throughout the Pali Canon. Within these seven sets of Enlightenment qualities, there is a total of thirty-seven individual qualities (sattatiṃsa bodhipakkhiyā dhammā).These seven sets of qualities are recognized by both Theravadan and Mahayanan Buddhists as complementary facets of the Buddhist Path to Enlightenment.A sutta found in The Senior Collection of Gandhāran Buddhist texts ascribes forty one instead of thirty seven beneficial dharmas. The Gandharan text includes rūpajhānas which the Pali tradition does not.
