@Yang Noctus Here is Rupert Spira talking. @Prabhaker I never said the ego can be enlightened. I said our true self becomes separate from the ego and we become aware of it's dirty little tricks. A so-called "enlightened" person like yourself should be able to read between the lines instead of doing mental masturbation. (no offense) I know how it feels and it can't be described to anyone.

@Yang Noctus http://www.advaita.org.uk/discourses/teachers/samadhi_ramana.htm Here is a link with some cool information.

Most people confuse enlightenment with Nirvikalpa Samadhi but they are not the same. Enlightenment is when we become aware of our ego but the ego doesn't die. We start to see reality differently from the average person because our ego doesn't control us. In Nirvikalpa a person can experience Absolute Infinity, like the way Leo did. Enlightenment can happen at the same time as Samadhi but not necessarily. A person can achieve enlightenment without Samadhi. Enlightenment is easier to achieve.

Yes, this is proof that infinite consciousness is using our body. Eventually the energy will move up your spine and you will experience higher consciousness.

Yes, enlightened people do get chronic ailments.

Maybe someone can help me. I was in college last year and dropped out. I was doing research in a lab and suddenly felt an intense feeling in my body. I told my instructor that I didn't want to be there because I want to start a business. Although doing research was fun, I felt like it was too limiting. I never felt like I needed to discover anything. My ego wasn't able to control me anymore and I just didn't care. Even if I wanted (logically) I wouldn't be able to go back. Is this what enlightenment is like? Or is it just increased awareness? Maybe enlightenment is just existing without giving a fuck. Have a great day, thanks!

@Leo Gura Thank you. I did a lot of research on enlightenment last night. There are different levels of consciousness and the highest level is when a person is blissful ALL the time. It's when our mind is not affecting us at all. I am VERY far away from experiencing that. It's not something that can be talked about.

@Neo Thanks! I said enlightenment because I wasn't sure if someone experiences everything in the universe during enlightenment or that they aren't in control. I experienced not being in control. It wasn't my usual self trying to make things happen and I realized I didn't have any free will. In my opinion enlightenment is just letting go of all the concepts and beliefs we have and experiencing life. That can look like different things for everyone.

@Prabhaker Yes, but when something comes of genuine desire you don't get tired of it. All the things I was doing in the past were not my genuine desires. I'm living my purpose now and I don't care about how my life will turn out.

@Flowzo I don't know yet, but I am much happier than I was.

@Azrael There isn't any.

You don't have to make a decision right away. Maybe you can do both at the same time. I mean you can work on cars and make YouTube videos or a website about personal development.

I only share it online on YouTube videos and this forum.
