Etienne Arsenault engagement report
@JETAR9 - 1.7M followers on X
Measured over 22 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 7, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 8 interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 22 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 15,519 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 2.4K times each, and 0.351% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.14% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 22 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 86% are part of a thread and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 20K interactions, about 2477x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #buddha, #inspiration, #mindfulness.

Compared with accounts its own size
Etienne Arsenault's engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 26% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, Etienne Arsenault sits below the 10th percentile of the 156,148 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.022%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

|â INSIGHT € PROFOUND VISION € ONE TRUTH â| #Buddhaâs Teachings Serenity (Samatha) Insight (Vipassana) The Four Noble Truths Satipatthana Sutta (MN 10) by Nyanasatta Thera - INTRODUCTION ââ THE FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS SATIPATTHANA SUTTA THE CONTEMPLATION OF MENTAL OBJECTS 1. THE FIVE HINDRANCES And how, monks, does a monk live contemplating mental objects in mental objects? Herein, monks, a monk lives contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five hindrances. How, monks, does a monk live contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five hindrances? Herein, monks, when sense-desire is present, a monk knows, âThere is sense-desire in me,â or when sense desire is not present, he knows, âThere is no sense-desire in me.â He knows how the arising of the non-arisen sense desire comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen sense-desire comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned sense-desire comes to be. When anger is present, he knows, âThere is anger in me,â or when anger is not present, he knows, âThere is no anger in me.â He knows how the arising of the non-arisen anger comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen anger comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned anger comes to be. When sloth and torpor are present, he knows, âThere are sloth and torpor in me,â or when sloth and torpor are not present, he knows, âThere are no sloth and torpor in me.â He knows how the arising of the non-arisen sloth and torpor comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen sloth and torpor comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned sloth and torpor comes to be. When agitation and remorse are present, he knows, âThere are agitation and remorse in me,â or when agitation and remorse are not present, he knows, âThere are no agitation and remorse in me.â He knows how the arising of the non-arisen agitation and remorse comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen agitation and remorse comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned agitation and remorse comes to be. When doubt is present, he knows, âThere is doubt in me,â or when doubt is not present, he knows, âThere is no doubt in me.â He knows how the arising of the non-arisen doubt comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen doubt comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned doubt comes to be. Thus he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects internally, or he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects externally, or he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination factors in mental objects, or he lives contemplating dissolution factors in mental objects, or he lives contemplating origination-and dissolution factors in mental objects.25 Or his mindfulness is established with the thought, âMental objects exist,â to the extent necessary just for knowledge and mindfulness, and he lives detached, and clings to nothing in the world. Thus also, monks, a monk lives contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five hindrances. 2. THE FIVE AGGREGATES OF CLINGING And further, monks, a monk lives contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five aggregates of clinging.26 NOTE: 25. The factors of origination are here the conditions which produce the hindrances, such as wrong reflection, etc., the factors of dissolution are the conditions which remove the hindrances, e.g., right reflection. 26. These five groups or aggregates constitute the so-called personality. By making them objects of clinging, existence, in the form of repeated births and deaths, is perpetuated. âââ TEXT-IMAGE THE CONTEMPLATION OF MENTAL OBJECTS â THE FIVE AGGREGATES OF CLINGING How, monks, does a monk live contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five aggregates of clinging? Herein, monks, a monk thinks, âThus is material form; thus is the arising of material form; and thus is the disappearance of material form. Thus is feeling; thus is the arising of feeling; and thus is the disappearance of feeling. Thus is perception; thus is the arising of perception; and thus is the disappearance of perception. Thus are formations; thus is the arising of formations; and thus is the disappearance of formations. Thus is consciousness; thus is the arising of consciousness; and thus is the disappearance of consciousness.â Thus he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects internally, or he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects externally, or he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination factors in mental objects, or he lives contemplating dissolution factors in mental objects, or he lives contemplating origination-and dissolution factors in mental objects.27 Or his mindfulness is established with the thought, âMental objects exist,â to the extent necessary just for knowledge and mindfulness, and he lives detached, and clings to nothing in the world. Thus also, monks, a monk lives contemplating mental objects in the mental objects of the five aggregates of clinging. NOTE: 27. The origination-and-dissolution factors of the five aggregates: for material form, the same as for the postures (Note 10); for feeling, the same as for the contemplation of feeling (Note 12); for perception and formations, the same as for feeling (Note 12); for consciousness, the same as for the contemplation of consciousness (Note 20). THE FIVE AGGREGATES OF CLINGING : 1. Form or matter (rupa) 2, Feeling or sensation (vedana) 3. Perception (sanna) 4. Mental formation (sankhara) 5. Consciousness (vinnana) The five aggregates function together as a group to produce all our personal experiences. The first aggregate of form represents the material aspect while the other four aggregates represent a variety of mental actions. They arise due to physical and mental antecedent conditions only to cease instantly and are in a constant state of flux with no stable or permanent entity. As such, they can be described as five dynamic processes rather than five static elements or factors. They constantly arise and cease, so they are impermanent (anicca), and because they are impermanent they are suffering (dukkha) and lack any stable entity or self (anatta). âĄïžCont. - Vipassana Meditation IV.

540 đ ENG | Jiddu Krishnamurti đ„ PUBLICATION : New «FORMAT» Nouveau đ„ đ La Version Française du livre de Krishnamurti est publiĂ©e ci-dessous aprĂšs la Version Anglaise đ |â For OPTIMAL UNDERSTANDING Read the text with ATTENTION from the First word to the End â| â Suisse - 3rd Public Talk - 13th July 1967 â Q.: Can THIS FREEDOM FROM CONFLICT take place while we are in deep sleep? â K.: I don't know anything about deep sleep, but WHAT I WANT IS TO BE FREE FROM THIS CONFLICT WHILE I AM AWAKE WHILE I GO AND WORK IN A BEASTLY LITTLE OFFICE, WITH MY BOSSES AND ALL THE REST OF IT; IN MY FAMILY THERE MUST BE PEACE AND ORDER IN MYSELF, WHILE I AM AWAKE. You know, a sleep in which there is no dreaming at all is one of the most extra- ordinary things - I don't know if you want to go into it and if this is the right occasion. Shall we go into it? That gentle man raised the question whether this freedom from conflict exists in deep sleep? If in our daily life it doesn't exist, it cannot possibly exist when we are asleep, and this question raises the whole problem of dreams and sleep. The psychologists, the fashionable ones and the well established ones, say that you must dream otherwise something is wrong with you. We have never asked ourselves why we dream at all. We have never asked ourselves whether we can give the mind complete rest, not only at those moments when we are alone in solitude with ourselves, but also when we are asleep - but to have complete rest, without any dreams, without any conflict, without any problems. In that state the mind can renew itself, can become fresh, young, innocent. But if the mind is all the time tortured by problems, by conflict, by innumerable contradictory desires, then dreams are inevitable. So let's go into it. Find out for yourselves why you dream at all, not how to interpret dreams. Why do you dream and is it necessary to dream? You dream because during the day your mind is so occupied with outward things, your office, the kitchen, washing dishes, the children, outwardly occupied with the radio, the television, the newspaper, the magazine, the trees, the rivers, the clouds and everything that is impinging upon your mind. At those moments there is no hint of the unconscious. Obviously when the surface mind is very occupied, the deeper layers of consciousness, of that mind, have no relationship with it. And when you go to sleep, the superficial mind, which has been so occupied during the day, is somewhat quiet - not entirely quiet, but somewhat quiet. I am not a psychologist, I am not a specialist, but I have observed this and you can do it for yourselves. So when you go to sleep the superficial mind is fairly quiet and then the deeper layers intimate their own demands, their own conflicts, their own agonies. And these become certain forms of dreams, with intimations, hints. Then you wake up and say 'By Jove, I have had a dream, it tells me something, or I must do something with it.' âââ TEXT-IMAGE DREAM WHY SHOULD YOU DREAM AT ALL? If you have ever followed a dream, as you are dreaming, the interpretation is also taking place. Then when you wake up your problems are solved, your mind is lighter, fairly clear. Now all that process is a waste of energy, isn't it? Why should you dream at all? Because if you are really awake during the day, watching every thought, every feeling, every movement of the mind, your angers, your bitterness, your envies, your hates, your jealousies, watching your reactions when you are flattered, when you are insulted, when you are neglected, when you feel lonely, watching all that, and the trees, the movement of the water, being greatly aware of everything outside you, inwardly, then the whole of the unconsciousness, as well as the conscious, is opened up. You don't have to wait for the night to sleep, to have the intimations of the unconscious. Then, if you do this, watch your mind in operation, your feelings, your heart, your reactions - that is, if you know yourself as you are in your relationships with the outer and with your own feelings⊠â Suisse - 3rd Public Talk - 13th July 1967 đ„ - then you will see that when you go to sleep there is no dreaming at all. Then the mind becomes an extraordinary instrument which is always renewing itself - because there is no conflict at all, it is always fresh. And this is not a theory, you can't practise it. Such a mind is, by its very nature, really tranquil, quiet, silent. It is only such a mind that can see the beauty of life; and such a mind alone can know, can come upon, something which is beyond time. â 13th July, 1967 â đïž đSadhu ! Sadhu !

Voyez-vous, un sommeil oĂč il n'y a pas de rĂȘve du tout est une des choses les plus extraordinaires; ⊠je ne sais pas si c'est le bon moment pour approfondir la question. Voulez-vous que nous l'examinions. Ce monsieur a soulevĂ© la question de savoir si cette libĂ©ration du conflit existe dans le sommeil profond? Si elle n'existe pas dans notre vie quotidienne, elle ne peut absolument pas exister quand nous dormons, et voici posĂ©e toute la question du sommeil et des rĂȘves. Les psychologues, ceux qui sont Ă la mode et qui sont bien installĂ©s affirment qu'il vous faut rĂȘver, faute de quoi il y a en vous quelque chose qui ne tourne pas rond. Jamais nous ne nous sommes demandĂ© pourquoi nous rĂȘvons. Nous ne nous sommes jamais demandĂ© si nous pouvions accorder Ă notre mental un repos complet, non seulement au moment oĂč nous sommes seuls avec nous-mĂȘmes, mais encore quand nous sommes endormis, d'avoir un repos complet sans rĂȘve, sans conflit, sans problĂšme. Dans un tel Ă©tat l'esprit peut se renouveler, il peut retrouver sa fraĂźcheur, sa jeunesse, son innocence. Mais si l'esprit est Ă chaque instant tourmentĂ© par des problĂšmes, des conflits innombrables, par des dĂ©sirs contradictoires, alors les rĂȘves sont inĂ©vitables. Examinons donc la question. DĂ©couvrez par vous-mĂȘmes pourquoi vous rĂȘvez, et non pas comment interprĂ©ter vos rĂȘves. Pourquoi rĂȘvez-vous, est-ce une chose nĂ©cessaire? Vous rĂȘvez parce que dans le courant de la journĂ©e votre esprit est tellement pris par les choses extĂ©rieures, le bureau, la cuisine, la vaisselle, les enfants, il est tellement occupĂ© extĂ©rieurement par la radio, la tĂ©lĂ©vision, les journaux, les revues, les arbres, les riviĂšres, les nuages et par tout ce qui vient le heurter. Ă ces moments-lĂ vous ne recevez aucun signe de l'inconscient. TrĂšs Ă©videmment, quand la surface de l'esprit est pleinement occupĂ©e, les couches profondes de la conscience, de cette psychĂ©, sont sans rapport avec elle. Et quand vous vous endormez la couche superficielle de l'esprit, si harassĂ©e pendant la journĂ©e, jouit d'un certain calme, non pas un calme complet, mais enfin un certain calme. Je ne suis pas un psychologue, je ne suis pas un spĂ©cialiste, mais tout ceci je l'ai observĂ© et vous pouvez en faire autant. Donc, quand vous dormez, les couches superficielles de l'esprit sont dans un calme relatif et alorsđ„les couches plus profondes font connaĂźtre leurs exigences, leurs conflits, leurs tourments. Et ceux-ci revĂȘtent la forme de rĂȘves comportant des suggestions, des impressions. Alors vous vous rĂ©veillez et vous vous dites: « Sapristi, je viens d'avoir un rĂȘve, il a quelque chose Ă me dire, il faut que j'en tire quelque chose. » Ou bien, parfois, l'interprĂ©tation se poursuit alors mĂȘme que vous rĂȘvez. âââ TEXTE-IMAGE RĂVE POURQUOI RĂVER? Si jamais vous avez suivi un rĂȘve, l'interprĂ©tation se produit tandis que vous rĂȘvez. Alors, quand vous vous rĂ©veillez vos problĂšmes sont rĂ©solus, votre esprit est lĂ©ger, Ă©clairci. Or, dans tout ce processus, il y a un gaspillage d'Ă©nergie, n'est-il pas vrai? Pourquoi rĂȘver? Parce que si, durant la journĂ©e, vous ĂȘtes vraiment Ă©veillĂ©s, observant chaque pensĂ©e, chaque sentiment, chaque mouvement de votre esprit, vos colĂšres, vos amertumes, vos envies, vos haines, vos jalousies, si vous ĂȘtes Ă l'Ă©coute de vos propres rĂ©actions quand on vous flatte, quand on vous insulte, quand on vous nĂ©glige, quand vous vous sentez seuls, si vous observez tout cela, et encore si vous observez les arbres, le frĂ©missement de l'eau, Ă©tant intensĂ©ment conscients de tout ce qui est en vous et autour de vous, alors tout l'inconscient, aussi bien que le conscient, vous est ouvert. Vous n'avez pas Ă attendre la nuit et le sommeil pour recevoir les suggestions de l'inconscient. Alors, si vous le faites, si vous observez votre esprit en pleine activitĂ©, vos sentiments, votre cĆur, vos rĂ©actions; autrement dit, si vous vous connaissez dans vos rapports avec l'extĂ©rieur et avec vos propres sentiments, vous vous apercevrez que pendant votre sommeil vous ne rĂȘvez plus du tout. L'esprit devient alors un instrument extraordinaire qui se renouvelle d'instant en instant; parce qu'il n'y a en lui aucun conflit, il garde toujours sa fraĂźcheur. Ceci n'est pas une thĂ©orie avec laquelle vous pouvez expĂ©rimenter. Un tel esprit est, par sa nature mĂȘme, vĂ©ritablement tranquille, calme, silencieux. Seul, il peut voir la beautĂ© de la vie; et seul un tel esprit peut connaĂźtre, dĂ©couvrir, ce qui est au-delĂ du temps. â đïž đ Sadhu ! Sadhu !

How can I see the world, of which I am a part, completely, totally, not in divisions? âââ TEXT-IMAGE NOT FRAGMENTED LOOK AT THE WHOLE THING AS A TOTALITY, NONFRAGMENTED â K.: Now, just listen, Sir, just listen: who is going to answer that question?

If the question is really very serious - I am not saying your question is wrong - if the question is really serious, then what is the problem? The problem then is: `I can't see things totally, because I look at everything in fragments!' When does the mind look at things in fragments? Why? Love my wife and hate my boss! - You understand? If I love my wife I must also love everybody. No? Don't say yes, because you do not; you do not love your wife and children, you do not, although you may talk about it. If you love your wife and children, you will educate them differently, you will care, not financially, but in a different way. Only when there is love, is there no division. You understand, Sir? When you hate there is division, then you are anxious, greedy, envious, brutal, violent; but when you love - not love with your mind, love is not a word, love is not pleasure - when you really love, then pleasure, sex and so on have quite a different quality; in that love there is no division. Division arises when there is fear. When you love there is no `me' and `you,' `we' and `they.' But now you will say, `How am I to love? How am I to get that perfume?' There is only one answer to that; look at yourself, observe yourself; do not beat yourself, but observe, and out of this observation, seeing things as they are, then, perhaps you will have that love. But one has to work very hard at observation, not being lazy, not being inattentive. â đïž đSadhu ! Sadhu !

163-IMAGE #JidduKrishnamurti #PublicTalk #Krishnamurti - The Book of Life /Le Livre de la MĂ©ditation et de la Vie #Dialogue #Question #Answer ! ââ Beyond belief ââ We realize that life is ugly, painful, sorrowful; we want some kind of theory, some kind of speculation or satisfaction, some kind of doctrine, which will explain all this, and so we are caught in explanation, in words, in theories, and gradually, beliefs become deeply rooted and unshakable because behind those beliefs, behind those dogmas, there is the constant fear of the unknown. But we never look at that fear; we turn away from it. The stronger the beliefs, the stronger the dogmas. And when we examine these beliefsâthe Christian, the Hindu, the Buddhistâwe find that they divide people. Each dogma, each belief has a series of rituals, a series of compulsions which bind man and separate man. So, we start with an inquiry to find out what is true, what the significance is of this misery, this struggle, this pain; and we are soon caught up in beliefs, in rituals, in theories. Belief is corruption because, behind belief and morality lurks the mind, the self the self growing big, powerful and strong. We consider belief in God, the belief in something, as religion. We consider that to believe is to be religious. You understand? If you do not believe, you will be considered an atheist, you will be condemned by society. One society will condemn those who believe in God, and another society will condemn those who do not. They are both the same. So, religion becomes a matter of beliefâand belief acts and has a corresponding influence on the mind; the mind then can never be free. But it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is God, not through any belief, because your very belief projects what you think ought to be God, what you think ought to be true. ââ The screen of belief ââ You believe in God, and another does not believe in God, so your beliefs separate you from each other. Belief throughout the world is organized as Hinduism, Buddhism, or Christianity, and so it divides man from man. We are confused, and we think that through belief we shall clear the confusion; that is, belief is superimposed on the confusion, and we hope that confusion will thereby be cleared away. But belief is merely an escape from the fact of confusion; it does not help us to face and to understand the fact but to run away from the confusion in which we are. To understand the confusion, belief is not necessary, and belief only acts as a screen between ourselves and our problems. So, religion, which is organized belief, becomes a means of escape from what is, from the fact of confusion. The man who believes in God, the man who believes in the hereafter, or who has any other form of belief, is escaping from the fact of what he is.đ„ Do you not know those who believe in God, who do puja, who repeat certain chants and words, and who in their daily life are dominating, cruel, ambitious, cheating, dishonest? Shall they find God? Are they really seeking God? Is God to be found through repetition of words, through belief? But such people believe in God, they worship God, they go to the temple every day, they do everything to avoid the fact of what they areâand such people you consider respectable because they are yourself. TEXT - IMAGE FREEDOM â BELIEFS â MEETING EVERYTHING ANEW, FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT â â MEETING LIFE ANEW â One of the things, it seems to me, that most of us eagerly accept and take for granted is the question of beliefs. I am not attacking beliefs. What we are trying to do is to find out why we accept beliefs; and if we can understand the motives, the causation of acceptance, then perhaps we may be able not only to understand why we do it, but also be free of it. One can see how political and religious beliefs, national and various other types of beliefs, do separate people, do create conflict, confusion, and antagonism which is an obvious fact; đ„ and yet we are unwilling to give them up. There is the Hindu belief, the Christian belief, the Buddhist innumerable sectarian and national beliefs, various political ideologies, all contending with one other, trying to convert one other. One can see, obviously, that belief is separating people, creating intolerance; is it possible to live without belief? One can find that out only if one can study oneself in relationship to a belief. Is it possible to live in this world without a belief not change beliefs, not substitute one belief for another, but be entirely free from all beliefs, so that one meets life anew each minute? This, after all, is the truth: to have the capacity of meeting everything anew, from moment to moment, without the conditioning reaction of the past, so that there is not the cumulative effect which acts as a barrier between oneself and that which is. #JKrishnamurti #Mindfulness #Wisdom #Wise #Life /

|â INSIGHT € PROFOUND VISION € ONE TRUTH â| 4. Buddhaâs Teachingsby Bhikkhu Bodhi The Chapter of the Ones - Homage to the Blessed One, by NyanaponikaThera and Bhikkhu Bodhi â The Five Mental Hindrances and Their Conquest Selected Texts from the Pali Canon AN - Anguttara Nikaya MN - Majjhima Nikaya SN - Samyutta Nikaya Vism - Visuddhimagga By NyanaponikaThera ENERGY : From the Samannaphala Sutta I. The Sutta (Digha Nikaya No. 2) Being endowed with noble mindfulness and clear comprehension, and endowed with noble 19 contentedness, the monk resorts to a lonely place: to a forest, the foot of a tree, a mountain, a cleft, a rock cave, a cemetery, a jungle, an open space, a heap of straw. After the meal, having returned from the alms-round, he sits down, crosslegged, keeping his body erect and his mindfulness alert. Having given up covetousness (= sensual desire) with regard to the world, he dwells with a heart free of covetousness, he cleanses his mind from covetousness. Having given up the blemish of ill-will, he dwells without ill-will; friendly and compassionate towards all living beings, he cleanses his mind from the blemish of illwill. Having given up sloth and torpor, he dwells free from sloth and torpor, in the perception of light; mindful and clearly comprehending, he cleanses his mind from sloth and torpor. Having given up restlessness and remorse, he dwells without restlessness; his mind being calmed within, he cleanses it from restlessness and remorse. Having given up sceptical doubt, he dwells as one who has passed beyond doubt; being free from uncertainty about salutary things, he cleanses his mind from sceptical doubt. Just as when a man taking a loan, engages in a trade, and his trade succeeds, he now not only disposes of his old debt but he has also, beyond that, a surplus for maintaining a wife. And at that he rejoices, is glad at heart... Just as when a man is sick and in pain, suffering from a grave disease, his food does not agree with him, and he has no strength left in his body. But some time later he recovers from that sickness; he can again digest his food, and he regains his strength. And at that he rejoices, is glad at heart... Just as when a man has been thrown into prison, but some time later he is released from prison; he is safe and without fears, and he did not suffer any loss of property. And at that he rejoices, is glad at heart... Just as when a man is a slave, not independent, but dependent on others, unable to go where he likes, but some time later he is set free from slavery, is now independent, no longer dependent on others, a freeman who can go where he wants. And at that he rejoices, is glad at heart... Just as when a man, rich and prosperous, travels through a wilderness where there is no food and much danger, but some time later he has crossed the desert, and gradually reaches safely the vicinity of a village, a place of safety, free from danger. And at that he rejoices, is glad at heart.: Similarly, so long as these five hindrances are not abandoned in him, a monk considers himself as indebted, as ailing, as imprisoned, as enslaved, as traveling in a wilderness. But when these five hindrances are abandoned, he considers himself as free from debt, rid of illness, emancipated from the prison's bondage, as a free man, and as one arrived at a place of safety. And when he sees himself free of these five hindrances, joy arises; in him who is joyful, rapture arises; in him whose mind is enraptured, the body is stilled; the body being stilled, he feels happiness; and a happy mind finds concentration. Then detached from sensual desires, detached from unwholesome states, he enters into and dwells in the first absorption which is accompanied by applied thought and reflection, born of detachment, and filled with joy and rapture. He enters into and dwells in the second... third... fourth absorption. II. NOTE: The Similes for the Hindrances The text of the discourse says: "Similarly, so long as these five hindrances are not abandoned in him, a monk considers himself as indebted, as ailing, as imprisoned, as enslaved, as traveling in a wilderness." Hereby the Blessed One shows the unabandoned hindrance of sensual desire as similar to being in debt; and the other hindrances as similar to being ill, and so on. âââ TEXT-IMAGE The Chater of the Ones by Bhikkhu Bodhi ââ THE CHAPTER OF THE ONES 1. ââ THE MINDâI (bis)ââ No other thing do I know, O monks, that is so intractable as an undeveloped mind.1 An undeveloped mind is truly intractable.

It is not easy to give a simile for how quickly the mind changes. 2 (1:5. 8) ââ THIS MIND, O MONKS, IS LUMINOUS, but it is defiled by adventitious defilements. 3 The uninstructed worldling does not understand this as it really is; therefore for him there is no mental development.

See e.g. Vin I 150, where the Buddha permits a monk to break his rains residence prematurely when he is being lured by a seductive woman âbecause the mind is said to be quickly changing.â 6 This mind, O monks, is luminous, but it is defiled by adventitious defilements. ââ 3 The uninstructed worldling does not understand this as it really is; therefore for him there is no mental development.

Unless we know the two kinds, we cannot possibly understand something much deeper which thought cannot touch. So let us try to understand this whole complex structure of what is thinking, what is memory, how thought originates, how thought conditions all our actions; and in understanding all this we shall perhaps come across something which thought has never discovered, which thought cannot open the door to. âââ TEXTâIMAGE Ref.#508 What is thinking?; Ideas & action; Provocations; Material; The origin of thought. Why has thought become so important in all our lives - thought being ideas, being the response to the accumulated memories in the brain cells? Perhaps many of you have not even asked such a question before, or if you have you may have said, `It's of very little importance - what is important is emotion.' But I don't see how you can separate the two. If thought doesn't give continuity to feeling, feeling dies very quickly. So why in our daily lives, in our grinding, boring, frightened lives, has thought taken on such inordinate importance? Ask yourself as I am asking myself - why is one a slave to thought - cunning, clever, thought which can organize, which can start things, which has invented so much, bred so many wars, created so much fear, so much anxiety, which is forever making images and chasing its own tail - thought which has enjoyed the pleasure of yesterday and given that pleasure continuity in the present and also in the future - thought which is always active, chattering, moving, constructing, taking away, adding, supposing? Ideas have become far more important to us than action - ideas so cleverly expressed in books by the intellectuals in every field. The more cunning, the more subtle, those ideas are the more we worship them and the books that contain them. We are those books, we are those ideas, so heavily conditioned are we by them. We are forever discussing ideas and ideals and dialectically offering opinions. Every religion has its dogma, its formula, its own scaffold to reach the gods, and when inquiring into the beginning of thought we are questioning the importance of this whole edifice of ideas.đ„ We have separated ideas from action because ideas are always of the past and action is always the present - that is, living is always the present. We are afraid of living and therefore the past, as ideas, has become so important to us. [It is really extraordinarily interesting to watch the operation of one's own thinking, just to observe how one thinks, where that reaction we call thinking, springs from. Obviously from memory.] â đïž đ Sadhu ! Sadhu ! Sadhu ! đ đïž Among others it is used to express shared joy, moral approval, and spiritual agreement.

Pourquoi la pensĂ©e est-elle devenue si importante dans nos vies ? Je parle de celle qui manipule des idĂ©es, de celle qui n'est pas la rĂ©action de mĂ©moires accumulĂ©es dans les cellules de nos cerveaux. Il se peut que certains d'entre vous ne se soient mĂȘme jamais posĂ© cette question, ou se l'Ă©tant posĂ©e qu'ils l'aient Ă©cartĂ©e comme Ă©tant de peu d'importance, pensant que seule compte l'Ă©motion. Mais je ne vois pas comment on pourrait sĂ©parer les deux. Si la pensĂ©e ne donne pas continuitĂ© au sentiment, celui-ci meurt vite. Pourquoi dans nos vies quotidiennes, dans nos vies assujetties aux labeurs et aux adversitĂ©s, la pensĂ©e a-t-elle pris une importance hors de toute proportion? Demandez-le-vous, comme je me le demande. Pourquoi sommes-nous tributaires de cette pensĂ©e, si rusĂ©e, si habile, si capable d'organiser, de mettre en route, d'inventer des choses, d'engendrer des guerres, de semer la terreur, de susciter les inquiĂ©tudes, de multiplier des images Ă l'infini, de poursuivre des chimĂšres; de cette pensĂ©e qui, ayant joui des plaisirs d'hier, leur donne continuitĂ© dans le prĂ©sent, et aussi dans le futur; de cette pensĂ©e toujours active, bavarde, remuante, qui ne cesse de construire, de dĂ©molir, d'additionner, de supposer? Les idĂ©es sont devenues pour nous beaucoup plus importantes que l'action: les idĂ©es qu'exposent les intellectuels avec tant de talent, sur toutes les questions. Plus elles sont habiles et subtiles, plus nous leur rendons un culte, Ă elles et aux livres qui les contiennent. Nous « sommes » ces idĂ©es, nous « sommes » ces livres, Ă©tant si lourdement conditionnĂ©s par eux. Nous discutons inlassablement d'idĂ©es et d'idĂ©aux, et, dialectiquement, nous offrons nos opinions. đ„ Chaque religion a ses dogmes, ses formules, ses Ă©chafaudages pour atteindre les dieux, et maintenant, alors que nous nous interrogeons sur l'origine de la pensĂ©e, nous contestons l'importance de tout cet Ă©difice. Nous avons sĂ©parĂ© les idĂ©es de l'action, parce qu'elles sont toujours du passĂ© tandis que l'action est toujours du prĂ©sent: vivre est toujours du prĂ©sent. Nous avons peur de vivre, et c'est pour cela que le passĂ©, en tant qu'idĂ©es, est si important pour nous. [En vĂ©ritĂ©, il est extraordinairement intĂ©ressant d'observer la façon dont opĂšre notre pensĂ©e, de simplement voir comment nous pensons et d'oĂč surgit cette action que nous appelons penser.

- Etienne Arsenault (@JETAR9) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 22 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,730,086 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Etienne Arsenault sits below the 10th percentile of the 156,148 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @JETAR9 have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @JETAR9 post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.67 posts per day across the measured window.
