    @Beginner Mind I expect at least a fanfare orchestra xDxD well, okay but does this realization, as low-key as it might be, come in a moment or does it gradually uncover itself?

    Recognizing what you are is not a particularly memorable experience (sorry to disappoint you).  The 'qualities' or your true nature (mainly the feeling of peace) gradually emerges as you rest in yourself over a period of time.

    Maybe you are right they just smell it even if its not obvious. I have read a lot of content on how to not being needy but it always kicks in.

    Yes, women are extremely perceptive and intuitive.  If you are needy, they will know it.

    In my experience, women find you most attractive when you have a "I don't give a fuck" mentality, not caring whether the girl likes you or not.

    True Nature: That sounds like the new and improved spiritual ego sneaking in the back door and subtly taking back over... only this time it's extra sneaky because it's all about love compassion and harmony.

    Examine the so-called Self with razersharp focus and you'll see it's unreality....its an illusion ❤

    True nature = Awareness.  The awareness that is aware of these words right now...  That is what we are.

    @Beginner Mind I wish that would be that simple. You are aware of being aware and boom....you got enlightened. :D

    I am aware of being aware for a long time, not constantly 24/7, but very often, probably 70% of my day.

    Does it make me enlightened person? Of course not.

    To be truly enlightened you need to learn how to let go. You basically have to let go your whole personality.This is a must! By simply of being aware will not get you that far if you still buying into drama that ego feeds you. 

     

    You may be right.  I don't necessarily need to be fully 'enlightened'.  For now, I'm content with paying temporary 'visits' to my true nature.

    What are body and mind made of? Am I something separated?

    As Ramesh Balsekar would say, "All there is, is Consciousness."  But within that Consciousness there is still room for impermanence apparently.  I'm not advocating for the rejection of the body and mind, but rather, simply not identifying them as 'me', as they are impermanent.  Only that which is eternal is worthy of identifying with I'd say.

    Lol, it's so funny how people take anything seriously or strive for anything when they are literally marching to their doom, hello u realize you gonna die one day right?

    All one's achievements, enlistments, tastes, etc, all into termination, as if it never existed. 

    Yes, but while you are alive, doesn't it make sense to live as peacefully and happily as you can?  You might as well make this short-lived roller coaster ride as comfortable as you possibly can.

    Yes, that is Spira's definition of enlightenment, but he also say that after that there is an integration that needs to happen. The seeking will continue until this integration is finished, because the ego is still alive and it's nature is to seek.

    Yes and according to Rupert, this integration process never stops.  I'm not sure I agree, but that's what he says.

    Is enlightenment an on off switch though?There are various degrees/ranges to consciousness.  It is more like a dail I think. 

    For me, the term 'enlightenment' is a bit of a misnomer, advertising something grand or eventful.  But being aware of being aware is extremely simple and subtle.  In my experience, there is no 'dial'.  You are either aware of your true being, or you aren't.
