Eckhart Tolle only deals with the present moment

are you 99th percentile enlightened? or like 80th percentile? or maybe not there yet? Anyway, I really wish there was a brain scan of Ramana Maharshi. I wanna see the exact result of his particular way of self-inquiry

yeah...as important as cancer cells

yes. When the distinction between meditation or not collapses. Down the line, the distinction between waking, dreaming and deep sleeping also collapses. End of the game.

thanks looks like you've easily crossed way over 5000 hours if you have been in this business for like 7-10 years

At least that could attract a whole bunch of narcissistic elite individuals who chase after IQ and other elite categories to feel good about themselves by stroking their ego lol

@How to be wise How much thought(self-referential) do you have every day? Do you find yourself often bickering with yourself to pass a day or does everyday pass without much self-conflict? How many psychological fears have you conquered before and after 1 year of the work?

@Arhattobe Awesome. Now match that with the powder god Martin Ball (Btw how many hours of meditation have you done so far in your life approximately? And do you have any daily spiritual practice routine? If so, what is that?)

Because your nose was sacrificed at gooroo's feet. Yes or no?

I smell devil..

*read in Morgan Freeman's voice* "I know damn well what Enlightenment means Sonny. That's an empty word. A conman's word, so that a cunning young man like you can put yourself on a pedestal with your fancy robes on; in order to get your feet kissed by deluded, gullible people; until you grow some white long beard. What is it that you wanna know? Do I regret what I've done? Have I seen beyond the veil? Well, there never goes a day where I don't think about that stupid kid, who did that terrible job of rising as a separate ego and gullibly drinking on the mainstream notion of objective reality. I wish I could meet that kid, tell him how things really are. But that kid is long dead, only this old man remains. So go ahead Sonny and stamp me whatever you like and stop wasting my time. Because honestly, I don't give a fuck"

The technique of masturbating one's metaphysical cock/pussy (pls don't ask where to find that no wonder you still aren't enlightened )

Okay thanks. POV is an indirect knowledge

Lol! But only those with hellspeed finally reach the destination

@winterknight From my POV only I am sentient. From your POV only you are sentient. All other knowledge is indirect or inference or open to doubt and alternate interpretations. What is the relationship between you and me? It seems POV is primary even over one's own existence knowledge because that shifts with the shifting of POV

These are just side-effects of the devil grabbing you by the balls before getting banished once and for all. Jokes aside, hope things get better for you

Okay great thanks for elaborating. But does that statement have any significance to yourself from a personal POV? If so what is that?

So it's all in the eye of the beholder?

That doesn't answer the question. What is the significance of that declaration?

@Sven What exactly do you mean when you say "I am enlightened"?

@winterknight What do you exactly mean when you say, "I am enlightened"?

because... meh

'I' is aware of all these things. But none of these things is aware of 'I'

Today after waking up in the morning, 1) I viscerally felt that the whole universe came into existence out of me. There was no thing. Everything else came after this hideous cancer called 'life'/'perception' arose. There is only one Ego and that's me. 2) After having a gloomy reaction, then it dawned upon me that this world is itself God; it just 'looks' different now. It is the same screen. It only looks different because a movie is going on it. Deep sleep=Waking state. They are identical, they just 'look' different. 3) All judgments/comments made about anyone or anything is nothing but reflection of one's own knowledge. No judgment ever made is objectively true. If I tell you to talk about a planet for 10 minutes which you haven't even heard of, what would you do? Now even if you had a PhD on that planet and could give 100s of hours of lectures, would it make that planet any different? Notice how both of these cases actually say nothing about that planet but your own limitation of knowledge. All objective 'knowledge' is hollow and groundless. There is no proof of anything, including the notion of proof. 4) The 'Truth' is ever here. There is nothing else but that. But 'I' just cannot stomach it yet. The elephant is just too 'unbelievable'. A bonus: Forgetfulness of Truth or self-deception is what keeps 'you' alive minute after minute. I don't breathe to stay alive, I delude myself What can you do when the magician himself is part of the illusion? *A giant elephant's ass for reading the post*

This line of thinking reminds me where I am at. The process of stomaching the Truth. Do you see how the 'I' fantasizes about how it is gonna enjoy the cake called enlightenment? But the reality is, there is a beautiful cake; but there is no one to eat it. The mechanism of eating is just absent. It's so hard to accept the fact that Truth has ZERO concern about what 'I' might want or not. The 'I' loves to conceptualize all the after effects of Enlightenment just like it fantasizes and calculates every situation beforehand. But too bad that 'I' cannot ever eat that cake. It's like the moth. It can never get the flame, it can only die in it. The greatest tragedy ever?
