Well, I don't know that. If you want to know my opinion, I don't think that's what happens when you are enlightened. But I can be wrong. In my opinion, when you are enlightened you see what true and real in this dimension, in your actual experience. It's not possible to translate it because we are distorting reality with our concepts and thoughts. What I'm saying to you, it is impossible that you know exactly what I am meaning, because the words and everything has a different meaning for me than for you. When someone enlightened talks, he gives the words a much more deep meaning that the one that we can grasp. Because we are not mature spiritually to understand it or accept it. When I talk to you, you are listening to yourself, not me. Because you are filtering everything I say from your point of view, from your understanding and the same happen to me. I must be losing some of the deep meaning of your words... I am just listening to my self in reality... Sometimes you read something, and after some years you read it again and you understand it in a different level, that's why we can't grasp sometimes the truth, but I don't think is about a matter of dimensions.

I don't see negativity in what they say. I see genuine questions. When people walk in the way of enlightenment (I know there's no way, just to explain what I am trying to say) when you realize the true nature of things you can have feelings like that. It's normal, not negative. Negative is a concept, there's no one to be negative. Perception happens and one see it as negative others positive and others see them neutral. At the end you will realize that this is reality, reality is that way. Very real on one side and it can seem unreal on the other. That's our not acceptance of reality as is, that's why we can feel "depressed" sometimes or confused. I think Ekhart Tolle explain it here better than me: https://www.eckharttolle.com/newsletter/october-2011 "It can happen if something happens that you can’t explain away anymore, some disaster which seems to invalidate the meaning that your life had before. Really what has collapsed then is the whole conceptual framework for your life, the meaning that your mind had given it. So that results in a dark place. But people have gone into that, and then there is the possibility that you emerge out of that into a transformed state of consciousness. Life has meaning again, but it’s no longer a conceptual meaning that you can necessarily explain. Quite often it’s from there that people awaken out of their conceptual sense of reality, which has collapsed."

Maybe it's good for him, you don't have to apply everything he says. :-)

Nothing to do or say.

Maybe it was an insight. Check the section where it says Visuals: http://integrateddaniel.info/the-arising-and-passing-away/

Papaji was Mooji guru , after Mooji's first enlightenment experience with a Christian Mystic he went to Papaji and Papaji finished him (his ego).

I think you should ask a doctor and if you have a lot of pain, you can meditate on a chair. That's not a big deal. https://zmm.mro.org/teachings/meditation-instructions/ There are several different positions and you have to do the one that it feels better for you. The last one is on a chair. Some people with problems in their backs say this meditation bench are good... But I never used one of them. http://www.meditationbench.com/meditationbenches/

@fanta Other have said about Ingram, I suggest him too... download his book. It's free and has a lot of info about what you are dealing with. A must have I would say... Here's the link: Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, Adobe/.pdf version, Revised 2007 version http://integrateddaniel.info/book/

Workers cooperatives is the solution. People taking action despite of the bad governments, that would be a good change. http://institute.coop/

"I don't know anything." -My imaginary self

Cool... :-)

“Make no mistake about it – enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” –Adyashanti

Thank you very much! @Telepresent I appreciate your advice and thanks for the excel file. I was thinking in that, learning to use excel, I have seen how useful it can be. That confirms me that I was Ok about thinking in that possibility. I am also using google keep, it's like a sort of post-it note on the web, I find it useful to make quick notes, or to take note of things I want to check later. And there's also an android and IOs version, so you can take notes on the go. Pretty useful. Thanks again!!!

When Jesus says "Me and the father are one", he is saying "I am one with reality".

@Telepresent what are the most common techniques do you use to achieve that? Notebooks? Mind maps? Some software? I want to make a plan too but I am very disorganized. My mind wanders a lot and I need to take notes of things to be on focus. But sometimes even taking notes I end doing other stuff....

Laugh is contagious, he's laughing because the other guy become enlightened. When you realize the truth sometimes people laugh, because it's so obvious but at the moment you can see reality. When you finally see it you laugh (not everybody does that) but is a common thing. They will laugh because a fly is flying, anything will make you laugh at that moment.

@Aamir King Don't worry about what others do or not, just do whatever you feel is right. If you feel you are doing bad by laughing about someone else, don't do it. If you change your mind and you want to laugh later, laugh. You don't have to overthink, that's ego's work. If there's something you need to transcend about laughter, you have to laugh your ass off before transcending. :-)

Mooji?

Awakening This first enlightenment experience, known as stream-entry (sotapatti), is the first of four progressive stages of Awakening, each of which entails the irreversible shedding or weakening of several fetters (samyojana), the manifestations of ignorance that bind a person to the cycle of birth and death. Stream-entry marks an unprecedented and radical turning point both in the practitioner's current life and in the entirety of his or her long journey in samsara. For it is at this point that any lingering doubts about the truth of the Buddha's teachings disappear; it is at this point that any belief in the purifying efficacy of rites and rituals evaporates; and it is at this point that the long-cherished notion of an abiding personal "self" falls away. The stream-enterer is said to be assured of no more than seven future rebirths (all of them favorable) before eventually attaining full Awakening. http://www.accesstoinsight.org/theravada.html

Can I ask what kind of business? I am trying to do an online business too, graphic design and illustrations.
