The important part for you to see is that enlightenment isn’t about gaining abilities, it’s about seeing through the one who was trying to gain something in the first place.

Yeah but after you do that you find out nothing is impossible you kinda want to go out and do the impossible.

I suppose some would say that's falling back into ego or whatever but I don't think that necessarily has to be the case.

@theleelajoker Watch your attitude. It makes you impossible to teach.

No, thats fair that you interpreted in a different way.

The reason why I pushed back is because its different from the liar paradox in that you cant derive a contradiction from the claim , but when it comes to the liar's paradox - you can derive a contradiction.

And if you take contradictions to be unintelligible ( in the sense that they cant be true), then you wont have the same issue in this specific case, because there isn't any trivial contradiciton that can be derived from that statement.

"This statement is a lie" defeats itself because true communication requires fidelity.

"Nobody knows what they're talking about" defeats itself because a true assertion requires knowledge.   If nobody knows what they're talking about, then no one can make any assertions about anybody.

Awakened people know what they are talking about. At least relative to Awakening. Of course they can be wrong on other matters.
