How Many Enlightened People In The World?

11 posts in this topic

These days when I watch enlightened people on YouTube they usually have massive audiences. This makes me think about how many enlightened people there are in the world. Is it in the 10,000s or 100,000s. And where are most enlightened people located? Are they in south east Asia or in the west?


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

@How to be wise do you think that there are statistics somewhere?

Maybe not statistics, but a rough number of enlightened people in the world should be known by people.

"Enlightened people"... hard to tell... but awake beings... there are a lot of them. Probably spend time with hundreds awake beings (in physical form in a room) during my spiritual "career" as a "seeker". Only like 10-20 of them did teach.

How do you define enlightened? 

What is the core message of those in the list that @Nahm provided as to what exactly enlightenment is and what it encompasses?

You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Zero.  No self.  No world.  People and things are makings of the mind.  You're the invisible person.  Just because you wore clothing all your life doesn't mean that you always will.  Maybe you will become ok with being invisible at some point.  Invisibility is beautiful!  Spread the word.
