The Ocean of Being / Enlightenment in daily life

[James123]

I am a finance manager, a husband, and a father to a two year old boy. I go to work, provide for my family, run, laugh, hug, and sit on the floor playing with toys alongside my wife and son.

True enlightenment is not about retreating to a secluded mountain, isolated from the world. It is quite the opposite. It is about jumping headfirst into life, being completely anchored in the present moment.

When enlightenment integrates so deeply that it is comprehended not just by the mind and body, but accepted by your very DNA, action does not stop. It amplifies. You become fully awake to every passing second. Therefore, the trauma of the past dissolves, and the anxiety of the future ceases to exist.

There is only the now.

If life brings a reason to cry, I cry. If it brings joy, I laugh, hug, and celebrate, fully and without reservation, right in the moment.

Yet, these emotions are merely the waves on the surface of the ocean. Beneath them lies the true essence, consistently Being what you truly are. Laughter, joy, tears, and embraces are the mesmerizing textures of life. But to be fully present means totally Being / simply Be the very source from which these feelings arise.

When the mind stops acting as an interpreter, filtering everything through past pain or future fear. All that remains is the raw, pure experience of the moment. That is when you truly feel. That is when you truly live.

I can certainly relate to what you are writing. It's a happy life and a functional state in the world, but I view it merley as an intermediate step toward true enlightenment. 

In absolute awakening, the world vanishes and only the Light reamins. You see the face of Christ everywhere and your heart overflows with love. This state is no longer functional within the survial matrix and it's not desirable for an individual being, which is why it's so rare. 

Many are in the process of awakening imo, but full attainment means the complete cessation of the illusion of being a separate body.

This is a lie my friend. Only love is true, which is the feeling to feeling to any feeling itself. Being alive, or having a body is love itself. Not a feeling of love. Love is not a feeling. 

Stop believing in this mainstream love.

You also could live alone in a mountain, there are many different possibilities being human. Anyway I agree, the society is an expression of reality, as real as anything else. Alive, dynamic, powerful. And being totally present is essential for a full life.

But enlightenment means something else, it's being open to the nature of the reality, of what everything is. It's not a conceptual idea, don't be hurry to say that I'm wrong and that, just contemplate what I'm saying.

The core of everything, the core of yourself, is the source, the ultimate nature of reality. @Grateful Dead called it love and you very fast said that he's wrong without any attempt to understand his view. What he call love is something else, it's the pure potential of the limitless.

It's something that when you really perceive it, you see the sacred miracle of creation, the unfathomable that manifests as forms, relationships and consciousness. And you are that. Not just the form or the feeling and the movement but the unlimited, the holy absolute that is source of everything because it's limitless. Then you see the light, really, without trying to convince yourself all time, it's absolutely clear.

I'm already open to the absolute, sad unbearable liar.

What is a waste is talking with you. Seems that I'm retarded trying it again and again . You can't understand anything, just defending your status. How's possible that behavior? It's amazing

It's good to understand the psyche of spiritual people. I like to understand the mind, and here are many people to understand. Except some exceptions, all is defense and fear. It's the normal level where humans operate but more subtle. In fact the spiritual people usually is more closed than anyone else.

I sense a need that you need to be agreed with though.  If you realize this, why the need to keep telling others what reality is?

I think it is a valid question.  If you did what you said in your original post, it seems like you would have it?  You would be free.  The want to share is different from a need to share.
