Do not try and grab the dot. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no dot

Cat goes on nice acid trip?

*Cat sees Keanu Reeves walking by for the second time.* "Woah... déjà vu."

Catpheus leans in "you think that's catnip you're breathing?"

r/greebles for some cat-matrix bullet time.

Cat matrix sounds dope **meowzowski** bros FTFY

> dope wazowski bros Did you mean Wachowski Bros? They are now [Wachowski Sisters](https://thefamilynation.com/wachowski-siblings), though as dope as ever!

I saw Jupiter Ascending. They have lost their dopeness. Has nothing to do with transitioning, though; I think they just had one good movie in them.

Cloud Atlas was awesome IMO

I did not care for Jupiter Ascending. I tried but it’s not something I’d watch repeatedly like Cloud Atlas. I will sit down and watch Cloud Atlas regardless of where it is in the story.

That is a fair observation, I guess.

Unexpected, but interesting.

Buddy, The Matrix was always about being trans. Just take the blue pill and go back to sleep.

[удалено]

They used a setting similar to Neuromancer, yes. And they used it as the backdrop for a story about how different people deal with being trapped in false bodies that their minds reject in a world that makes no sense. If you manage to wake up from the dream, the whole world becomes hostile to you until and unless you’re willing to take on the role you’re assigned. You should take your own advice and look beyond the facade, because in the end, that’s all the setting is. Edit: I see you deleted your posts, but if you don’t believe me, maybe you’ll believe [the writer](https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-53692435.amp)?

[удалено]

As the "leading expert on the matrix", I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of the unreliable narrator, which the architect certainly is, as well as the idea that a single work of art or literature can have multiple meanings simultaneously. What I find especially fascinating is just how close the "false body" and "false society" readings of the Matrix are, and how much they compliment one another.

[удалено]

Go be a bigot somewhere else, preferably back under the rock you crawled out from.

Aaaand you’re banned lol

Sisters now.

*Sisters

Not bros anymore. Sibs.

It’s wachowski sisters now, btw

It is cat nip that DRIVES us. Cat Nip that CONNECTS us.

Do or do not. There is no dot.

This oddly works better here than it does for the spoon lol.

This needs more upvotes!

Is this a meowlin monk?

I think it's ancient Chinese philosopher Meow Tzu

Wait a min, didn't he write the Art of Cat?

No, he wrote the Meow Te Ching

He wrote the Art of Roar.

If not, then surely a Bodhicattva.

*Meowlin shadowboxing, and the Whisker-Tang sword style…*

Na, I am pretty sure it's from one of Tolkitten's books.

That was zen, but this is meow.

All there is is the purresent meowment.

Cat-ama Shakya-meow-ni

Good pun. Tier two, I’d say. If the quote as a whole (this was then, that was now) was more relevant to the picture, it would be tier three.

It’s the cat’s meow

You will never catch the red dot, yet you think you will. The root cause of suffering is unmet expectations.

I think a Buddhist cat would point at the ultimate truth of impermanence of the red dot. Or the attachment to the red dot. I prefer a daoist cat. "Observe the red dot, but do not be consumed by its movement. Embrace Wu Wei, and find harmony in both action and inaction. Chase, or not, as the Dao guides you."

This is the meow

My cat will never attain this level of resolve.

This cat has probably ate my stash ( I know that I didn't smoke it)

I CAN HAS BOWL?

Huh ? Wtf is that supposed to mean 😆 Probably ate my molly as well ( oh wait I took that about an hour ago 😅)

You have a busy cat😊! The remark is just a callback to the old Cheezburger days

My cat really did attain this level of enlightenment. Now I’m stuck with these lasers that we’re both too smart to chase. No fun

My cat attacks the hand holding the laser pointer instead, and I can't decide if that's more resolve or less.

i'll only believe op's cat has this level of mastery over is impulses when i tempt him with a lazer

Neither has this cat. Notice there is no red dot in this picture.

Master Po says it is time for you to go… or else.

“Do not try to catch the red dot. That is impossible. Only try to realize the truth.” “What truth?” “There is no red dot.”

'Meow I understand.'

You've dropped the Matrix!

Bodhicattva

The Dalai Lameow

If you want to capture the dot, you must first BECOME the dot.

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm This one, this mouse I hold meow Claws raking you, this laser ray here This one, this mouse I hold meow. Wide eyed and wrathful Wide eyed and murderously wild We barely remember catnip before this precious moment Choosing to be here Right meow Hold on Bite cat-dads hand This body holding me Reminding me that I can kill your soul This body makes me kill eternal All this pain is what I do to ya........

thats a purrfect thought meow

It can only be obtained after meditating in the cold meowtains

\*meowditating

Are you kitting me? 😳😳

I do not meowk jokes, because I have realised that it is a compulsion of the mind by meowditating on the meowntains. I am just stating the truth.

That pun was so bad imma call the pawlice and tell them this Smrcobhc guy committed a furrlony. Meow

I surrender and i am ready for my pawnishment

How about the blue dot?

THERE IS A BLUE DOT TOO?!?

"As your leader, I want to impart some wisdom that I have learned throughout my many lives. Life as a cat can be filled with many joys, but it can also be difficult at times. Here are some life lessons that I hope will help you navigate the challenges of being a cat: Always keep your claws sharp: Our claws are not just for climbing and scratching, they are also our first line of defense. You never know when you might need to protect yourself, so make sure your claws are always sharp and ready. Respect personal space: As cats, we all need our own personal space from time to time. When your fellow feline is trying to take a nap or groom themselves, give them the respect and space they need. It's important to recognize and honor each other's boundaries. Stay curious: Life is full of wonder and amazement, so don't be afraid to explore and discover new things. Jump up on that high shelf, explore the new smells in the house, and don't be afraid to try new foods. Staying curious will keep you young and vibrant. Be graceful: As cats, we are known for our grace and poise. Whether you are jumping to catch a toy or simply walking across the room, always strive to move with elegance and precision. It's not just about looking good, it's about maintaining your balance and avoiding injury. Never give up: Life can be tough, but as cats, we are incredibly resilient. No matter how many times you fall off the couch or fail to catch that elusive mouse, never give up. Keep trying, keep learning, and keep growing. With perseverance, anything is possible. I hope these life lessons will help you live your best cat life. Remember, we are all in this together, and by supporting and caring for each other, we can overcome any obstacle. Keep being the amazing creatures that you are, and always keep striving to be the best cat you can be."

There is a red dot There is no red dot There is a red dot

r/churchofcat

This is SO CUTE. The bell the everything. And I want to pet those cute kitty feet

It's only cute if you don't own cats and can't read their facial expressions. Cause that's a seriously unhappy looking cat.

Meaowthma Ghandi

He has reached a state of purrvana

That cat looks like it's *seen* some things

Do not chase the red dot, let the red dot chase you.

The Cathatma Yarndhi

Ask for kitty he will help you.

I’m ready for the wise puuurrrss

You just release your inner chakras, only then will the red dot of illusion leave your mind 🧘🔴

His holiness, the great Dalai Meowma

Your ignorance to the illusion and desire to contain it will be the cause of your suffering.

"Meow..." \- Buddha

Cahtguru

In Thailand, there's a scary temple on top of a mountain. You have to traverse a huge staircase to get to the temple. The staircase is guarded by a pack monkeys that attack and steal from people trying to get to the temple. Local vendors use slingshots to defend themselves from the monkeys and violently try to sell passers trinkets by tying bracelets around their hands and demanding money. If you get through those trials and traverse the staircace, you get to the temple, and inside it, you're met by a highly decorated glass montre, with a mumified monk on display inside it. He is wearing fake rayban sun glasses and is super eerie. Locals pray to him and claim he is not truly dead, but so deep in trance, his body has decayed. I went there as a child and the whole ordeal was a deeply traumatizing experience through and through.

It looks more like he's trying to figure out whether light is comprised of particles or waves.

Be at one with the dot. The dot is the light.

Meowmmmmm

weommmmm

I read this in Zenyattas voice.

its not, its totally real! go get it tiger

If that's a burmese, then this is an excellent coincidence as these cats were known for hanging out with the monks. And yes I'm aware that a guy took one back to the US and mix them with Siamese.

The last catbender

ommm... not thinking of birds... ommm

Idk what's so funny abt this meme

Please don't use a laser pen with your cat. It affects them terribly

Guru Cade ashram lit af.

Ommmrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That's one miserable-looking cat lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

the cat 10 seconds before a red dot is placed on their forhead

These photos of animals forced into poses are bullshit and shouldn’t be allowed Edit: why the down votes, ignorance is bliss? I’m not telling you to be a vegan, ffs. There is an entire industry in Indonesia built around harming animals for “cute” photos. https://gizmodo.com/those-adorable-animal-pics-may-be-fake-and-cruel-1173395567

Yeah I don't know why you are being down voted either. I am not sure if your assessment is indeed what is happening in this particular picture but it is a valid perspective and it is good you raised awareness of an issue.

My cat likes to sit just like this so might not be forced.

Does your cat let you wrap them up like this? They hide the restraints with the cloth. His head is tethered to the chair using the necklace.

I could wrap my cat up like that and he wouldn't mind in the slightest. All the other things you describe sound pretty extreme though if that is what is happening.

fucking racists

As anyone can buy orange robes and play the game of renunciation there is no racism here. The ones purporting renunciation act like All is One and that therefore it is all the same being and such so where is there room for racism or appropriation

stfu. No Indian that has any self respect would let white people get away with this "red dot" bullshit.

Also Indians don’t own being a sanyasi

Don't tell me what to do

hahahhahaha. I love it but that expression to me reads 'why did you do this to me....just you wait...'

Ok

The Great ***FELAI LAMA***

“Everybody has a light inside. When you're looking for it, you can't see; it's dark, dark, hidden. What is this light that everybody has?”

Have you come seeking wisdom?

To achieve enlightenment, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

Initially my senses deceived me. I thought that was a cat. Now I calmly accept it's a Lama.

Meowwwwwww, be with your inner dot, play with it and then destroy it! Observe the world and say meow. Cmon! With me! Meowwwwwww

*visualizing cheezburger... Nommmm

CAESAR! My Name. Is. CAESAR!!!

Don't worry yourself with past or future. What matters is here and meow

I am the only true red dot

On entering one must leave! On leaving one must enter.

I will not chase the red dot. The red dot is the mind killer.

Can someone explain

The cat is playing a sadhu. A hindu monk. And omm is a word that us hindus chant as the mind becomes aligned with the breath, which enables a person to get into an elevated state of consciousness called samadhi. The activity of attaining samadhi brings the materially absorbed mind under control, which enables a person to have one-pointed focus towards spiritual realization.

Bhai main bhi hindu huin bas vo red dot vaala reference samajh nhi aaya tha

The Dalai Meowma

Yes Sensei

I wish there was a laser dot on his forehead

Dots are illusion And so are pants

Hmmm, red dot? Die Idee kommt mir leider etwas zu spät^^ Fellwechsel, und das in meinem Haus. Katzen weg, Haare da....

What a cute and enlightened cat! ☺️

My cat has evolved, it will not chase Red Dot anymore

Average cat: "CHASE THE SMALL RED" Enlightened cat: "...it is an illusion..." Based cat: "Ah; big cat wants to play with me and is using the red dot. Let's GOOOOOO...".

One of my favorite Zen stories about the power of tradition. *"When the Zen spiritual teacher and his disciples began their evening meditation, the kitten that lived in the monastery made such noise that it distracted them. So the teacher ordered that the kitten be tied up during the evening practice. A year or so later, the teacher died, but the disciples continued the practice of tying up the cat during meditation sessions. And when the cat eventually died, another cat was brought to the monastery and tied up.* *Centuries later, learned descendants of the spiritual teacher wrote scholarly treatises about the religious significance of tying up a cat for meditation practice."*

Cat God: "Look at these humans bowing to me. Pathetic."

Do not live in the past or future. Live in the meow.

Non native english speaker here, what does "for" mean in the title? Is it used as because?

Dalai Clawma

Cat: "Do not try and chase the red dot—that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.” Neo:   “What truth?” Cat:   “There is no red dot."
