  1. Agreed. That’s my idea of enlightenment too
  2. Depends on the context. If someone puts a gun to my head right now yes I will be afraid, but I think I’m just afraid of the process of dying if it would be painful. I don’t think I’m afraid of death in itself
  3. I think enlightenment is permanent no self. So in that sense it’s a thing. Maybe I could say it’s something unknown, because the self can’t know the end of itself so it’s like you want something that you don’t know what it is. Basically it’s like it’s different from all other desires for defined objects
  4. Pursuing by doing spiritual practice. As I said before it’s a bit tricky because enlightenment is not a “thing”
  5. I still wanna begin pursuing enlightenment
  6. It’s a bit tricky there because in a sense you can’t want enlightenment because it’s not a “thing”
  7. It can be slightly hard to comprehend sometimes but it’s still good writing indeed you have an interesting perspective. I can tell you’ve gone deep into this. Thank you
  8. Yea but it still seems like there’s an I looking..
  9. My mind says “right here”. That is a thought , but there’s something that is not a thought, my mind says again. It’s like this contracted sense of I’m here in the skull looking out from my eyes
  10. It can be discouraging to hear . But I still think it’s worth pursuing if one wants it
  11. I feel ready it’s just I just gotta put the work in and pursue it
  12. Cool . You mean you spent time in darkness and silence
  13. If it was that easy to just drop my self
  14. You mean people can think they had awakenings but it’s actually something relative they experienced? I myself one time I remember I have done some self inquiry and nothing happened, then one night I did it spontaneously and just asked myself “where is the I” and tried to locate it and I couldn’t for a brief moment it was cool. As you say though, it was a long time ago and I’m not fully sure if it was actually a glimpse or not. I could have conflated it with something else
