Insights From Swimming

[Rashad]

So yesterday I went to swimming with my friend and it was like 1:30pm so it was hot and the sun was so bright in the sky that we just jump straight into the pool we did some laps and other stuff then suddenly my friend decided to stop but I continued through,I hated doing laps so I changed into just diving but I had no googles hence my eyes were closed I would dive for like 15 meters without breathing for like 1.5min and as I was under water I saw the skin covering my eyes looking transparent which is normal but then I asked for reasoning so I brought up some physics reasons and so on but also noticed that when I was underwater my face was facing the sun but eyes closed I acted like I was the sun but when I was submerged hence eyes open. I hated the sun and lost the feeling of being the sun so I had an insight on how to become more authentic. The insight was that bassically I should see my self as an idol and not see others as idols this might be controversial to Enlightened folks (idea of no self)but I never did self enquiry or any or neti neti I just do daily meditation and once a week I do strong determination sitting if any one who's Enlightened/not Enlightened can tell me his opinion over this insight.

[How to be wise]

I'm no expert but just from what I saw in YouTube comments some people talk about some awesome experience they had and realisations about themselves being everything and they became very happy and stuff and they ask if that was enlightenment, and Leo just flashes a 'no' at them (quite funny ?) anyway just everything I know... btw I'm not enlightened at all so, yeah...

 I hope Leo doesn't look at this threadbut since that experience,I actually feel more authentic...........Lol.

I see nothing wrong here. You need to be complete and love yourself before you can give to others. New insights about ourselves is positive.
