how do you respond without sounding unenlightened?

sneed's feed and seed

>>38956169
You don't. If you were enlightened you wouldn't not care for there is nothing to prove, or ego to defend. Simply avoid low vibe discussion

Don't respond, or do. Who cares

>>38956169
The idea of the self, of 'I' and 'me,' is nothing more than a tool crafted by the ruling classes to divide and conquer. It is a construct that upholds individualism, separating us from the collective spirit of humanity. Proto-fascist social imperialists invented this illusion to maintain their power—tricking us into believing that we are separate, isolated beings, each with our own selfish desires. But in truth, there is no 'I,' no 'self,' only interdependence. The capitalist elites use this lie to justify exploitation and violence, manipulating people into thinking they must dominate others for personal gain. Fascism thrives on this division—on convincing people that their worth is tied to an ego that does not exist. True liberation lies in realizing that we are all part of the same vast network, inseparable from each other, bound by karma and class struggle. Only when we transcend this false self can we build a truly equitable society

no. if you're enlightened it's actually your karmic responsibility to remind low bugmen of their place because if you let an insult go unanswered their soul will experience demotion. so you say shut the fuck up faggot or something similar that they can understand.

I don't think so.


One day, in the morning, Bhante Mahāmoggallāna dressed in his robes, took his bowl and double-layered robe and went to Bhante Lakkhaṇa and said to him, “Come, friend Lakkhaṇa, let us go to the city of Rājagaha for alms.”

“Alright, friend,” Bhante Lakkhaṇa replied. Then, as he was coming down from Gijjhakūṭa Mountain, Bhante Mahāmoggallāna smiled at a certain place. Bhante Lakkhaṇa asked him, “Why, friend Moggallāna, did you smile?”

“Friend Lakkhaṇa, this is not the suitable time for that question. Ask me that question when we meet the Blessed One.”

Then, Bhante Lakkhaṇa and Bhante Mahāmoggallāna walked for alms in the city of Rājagaha. After they returned from their alms round, they had their meal. Then, they went to the Blessed One, worshipped himrespectfully and sat down to one side. Bhante Lakkhaṇa asked Bhante Mahāmoggallāna, “This morning, while you were coming down from the Gijjhakūṭa Mountain, Bhante Mahāmoggallāna smiled. Why, friend Moggallāna, did you smile?”

Bhante Moggallāna replied, “This morning, friend, as I was coming down from the Gijjhakūṭa Mountain, I saw a skeleton moving through the air. Vultures, crows, and hawks were chasing after it. They were pecking at it between the ribs, stabbing it, and tearing it apart. The skeleton was crying out in pain. I thought then, ‘It is unusual, indeed! It is amazing, indeed! That there exists such a being, that there exists such a non-human, that there exists such a life.”
>>
>>38956540
Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, “Monks, there are disciples who have gained the divine eye and special knowledge. They can know, see, and witness such a non-human. Monks, in the past, I, too, saw that being, but I did not speak of it. If I had spoken about it, there might have been some people who wouldn’t believe my words. If they had not believed my words, it would have led them to their harm and suffering for a long time.”

The Blessed One continued, “Monks, that non-human being used to be a cattle butcher in this same city of Rājagaha. As a result of that bad kamma, he was boiled in hell for many years, for many hundreds of years, for many thousands of years, for many hundreds of thousands of years. As a remaining result of that same kamma, he has been reborn as a ghost and is experiencing such terrible pain.”

I would bring a logician.

Ask, "What is enlightenment?"

If the reply is a sound and valid argument for the existence of a concept of a phenomenon, then ask him how he verified that he has attained this phenomenological state.

If the reply is logical sound and based on observable phenomena and is logically or empirically verifiable, then ask how this state of enlightenment was attained and what are the consequences of achieving enlightenment. Analyze the reply using current mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience to determine whether what they said seems possible.

It is possible a PhD'd psychologist might need to be consulted as well, however their analysis will likely include some degree of subjectivity since the phenomenon in question supposedly within the mind, thoughts, and soul of the observer.

You might need an agnostic theologian expert in defining and identifying heresy to determine whether this is purely a religious experience or an objective empirical phenomenon as well. The inquisitor should be an expert in the philosophy of science and dialectics.

You could start with, "Hey, great for you!"

But I feel that would be more appropriate after the steps I have outlined have been completed.
>>
>>38958401
You are on the wrong board
>>
>>38958418

This is how you find out if something is actually magic or if it is mere bullshit.

Real magic exists. It is not disproven by such inquiry. Such inquiry verifies its existence.
>>
>>38958274
be ready
>>
You wouldn't have the desire to convince people you're enlightened. You left such silly notions behind you a long time ago. If you feel any need to asset spiritual superiority, then you havent taken the first step. Whereas anyone spiritually inclined would recognise something special, a je nais se quoi, in the aura of an enlightened individual.

>>
>>38958526
>>38958401

Very sound approach. But logical soundness does not rely wholly on empiricism.

Especially considering the seemingly unsolvable Mind-Body Problem.

Logic is a great and fatal tool, but even logic has it's limitation.
>>
>>38958608
Verify to who? Those who aren't worthy do not deserve to know anything. The mysteries protect themselves, and for very good reason.

Double post. Your arrogance makes you the reptillian.
>>
>>38958691
I think the problem in reality will start at defining what "enlightenment" is.
But of course if all people involved can agree on one definition of enlightenment and on one definition on "achievement of enlightenment", and we further assume that there exist definite signs of "achievement of enlightenment" that can be measured by the available means and that again all involved parties agree on, then yes, we can measure with absolute certainty in the frame of this definitions and means and involved personal if enlightenment according to the agreed definition has been achieved or not or only partly.
>>
>>38958730
enlightnement is when another voice (Holy Spirit) appears in your head, not a feeling but a voice you can see when you turn your mind off, now when you do it there is silence because your eye is blind
>>
"Suck my dick"
>>
>>38958773
That's nice, but only your definition. I found that in spiritual things, words are most often one of the worse carriers of information.
I am not saying anything if I agree or not agree with your definition. I don't care what enlightenment is. I cared only about responding to the the theoretical example of logician anon. So no, I will not engage in discussions about what enlightenment actually is or is not.
>>
>>38958526
real magic doesn't get proven it gets shown to those its meant to.
>>
>>38958773
Thats not enlightenment, thats possession. (Most likely demonic)
>>
>>38958730
I would just be asking what the person who said they achieved enlightenment meant. I'm not trying to make a semantic argument or decide what it is based on anything but the individual's experience.

There is no right or wrong answer, just determining if what the person says they experienced makes any sense.

>>38958918
it gets shown to you. magic is a feeling that comes over you. the veil is lifted and you know. and no amount of 'evidence' will lift the veil for those from who it cannot be.
>>
>>38958976
to elaborate: the veil actually gets put back in place afterwards. even for those whom things have happened to, uncertainty replaces what was known. this is living in the material world.

i have had countless insane and unexplainable experiences. physical manifestations of otherworldly phenomena. but still sometimes it is certain and sometimes it is like an odd dream.

nta
that skepticism is good. you need somewhat of a scientific mind. Do you yield results? Are the results repeatable? Prove it to yourself. More importantly, dont take others word for it, you have to prove it yourself
>>
>>38959002
this is actually the complete opposite of magic. science is a lie, the mind is a trick. knowledge is a priori, and not in the deductive sense but as in it precedes phenomena. you will just know, and it's not related to what is actually happening or what will happen. and then that knowing will leave you. magical knowledge filters the unworthy and uninitiated in this way. no amount of "proof" will ever convince a dumb cow, otherwise it would have already done so. right now there is a blueprint for human incarnation in the form of the human design system, it's easily the most revelatory knowledge ever given to mankind, and hardly anyone knows about it and far fewer understand it.
>>
>>38959036
wrong, you think like this because of religious indoctrination, you mistake knowing with blind faith.

>>38959091
I came with a bad tone there, apologies. I do like what you're saying, but i dont believe you've understood my point well.
I dont endorse science in its current form, which appeals to nerds, that said there is some science which does come close to magic like quantum non locality.
What im talking about is the method, which is why you and I are able to talk like this on basket weaving forum. The method can be applied to a practitioner too, you need a bit of faith at the start, but you remain skeptical and your experience is the guiding compass, the prover. I dont see how you can possibly reject the importance of skepticism. Skepticism does not mean to dismiss things, it is to investigate to its fullest till you come to a consensus

Your response wouldn't sound like anything, if it's on a computer screen. People might interpret your response a certain way, but their interpretation will largely depend on themselves.

because he just described enlightenment as hearing a voice and schizophrenia is also described as hearing voices

Nothing is eternal, the gods are specifically seen as non-eternal in buddhism. Impermanence in ALL things, especially the self, is the central tenent of buddhism.
Enlightenment is freedom from all of this, something higher away from concepts such a form and being.

This is already the case. Nirvana is perfectly defined and the buddha said how to verify a guy is awakened.


Canki Sutta (MN 95):

How is truth discovered? Here a bhikkhu lives near some village or town. Then a householder or his son goes to him in order to test him in three kinds of ideas, in ideas provocative of greed, of hate, and of delusion, wondering, "Are there in this venerable one any such ideas, whereby his mind being obsessed he might not knowing, say 'I know,' unseeing, say 'I see,' or to get others to do likewise, which would be long for their harm and suffering?" While thus testing him he comes to find that there are no such ideas in him, and he finds that, "The bodily and verbal behavior of that venerable one are not those of one affected by lust or hate or delusion. But the True Idea that this venerable one teaches is profound, hard to see and discover; yet it is the most peaceful and superior of all, out of reach of logical ratiocination, subtle, for the wise to experience; such a True Idea cannot be taught by one affected by lust or hate or delusion."

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.095x.nymo.html
>>
In the Vimamsaka Sutta (MN 47) he even provides means of testing a Buddha:

Bhikkhus, by the bhikkhu who could examine the thought processes of another the Thus Gone One should be examined on two things. On things cognisable by eye consciousness and ear consciousness. Are defiled things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness evident in the Thus Gone One or are they not? When examining he knows. These defiled things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness (*1) are not evident in the Thus Gone One. Then he should make a further examination: Are mixed things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness evident in the Thus Gone One or are they not? When examining he knows. These mixed things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness (*2) are not evident in the Thus Gone One. Then he should make a further examination: Are pure things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness evident in the Thus Gone One or are they not? When examining he knows. The pure things cognisable by eye and ear consciousness (*3) are evident in the Thus Gone One.

Finally, in the Thana Sutta (AN 4.192):

"It's through living together that a person's virtue may be known, and then only after a long period, not a short period; by one who is attentive, not by one who is inattentive; by one who is discerning, not by one who is not discerning.

"It's through dealing with a person that his purity may be known, and then only after a long period, not a short period; by one who is attentive, not by one who is inattentive; by one who is discerning, not by one who is not discerning.

"It's through adversity that a person's endurance may be known, and then only after a long period, not a short period; by one who is attentive, not by one who is inattentive; by one who is discerning, not by one who is not discerning.

"It's through discussion that a person's discernment may be known, and then only after a long period, not a short period; by one who is attentive, not by one who is inattentive; by one who is discerning, not by one who is not discerning.

That infinity metaphor is really useless as there is a whole field of math dedicated to the study of multiple levels of infinity, ie; that there are infinities that contain other infinities and are thus provably larger.

i wouldn't be affected by it int he first place, the sentiment soijak is spouting is coming from an egalitarian worldview where no one is better than anyone which is 100% false. it is influenced by Christianity, being american or just being anglo in general. i'd tell him he's a product of cultural conditioning and that he's fucking retarded.

though i do agree with soijak regardless. a truly 'englightened' being is dead. not a physical entity or being. But instead of trying to bring the meditator down i'd instead call him out for heresy as no embodied being can truly be enlightened, not even nirmanakaya.

nobody said gods are enlightened. i know the goddesses and they are not even reasonable or mature. they fight, they get jelous, they have a similar level of faggotry that humans have. It made me quite disappointed really. But whatever, i still love them regardless.

god's are barely higher than humans in terms of righteousness. though most don't even care about it. do you know how dark some goddesses are?

there literally is no secret, masters troll people by making them do ridiculous shit to punish them for misunderstanding that you just have to be a decent, self aware person. For making a mockery of spirituality by thinking it's about robes and chants or whatever, for striving for power and control. the universe is a system that will raise the worthy individuals, most are quite literally barred from entering any meditative state.

A silent gratitude and Reverence.Attention on the sacred moment. The great ones that greet you with joy, adoration, respect. It feels sublime. Elation. Breaking through. Profound awakening, in awe, humble as if bowing, but raised, then you descend and feel divine incarnate. Namaste, padme padme, we are one this now here.

>This is already the case. Nirvana is perfectly defined and the buddha said how to verify a guy is awakened.
This is cool and all, but Buddha is not an authority to me and I do not necessarily agree with any buddhist literature.
Furthermore there are myriad different sects of buddhism which often times go completely different about things.
Even the greater currents: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana are irreconcilable removed from each other in their dogma.
Which also challenges the fundamental claim of many buddhist, that buddhism is supposedly not dogmatic, but only teaching "truth".

Now considering your little stories:
>While thus testing him he comes to find that there are no such ideas in him, and he finds that, "The bodily and verbal behavior of that venerable one are not those of one affected by lust or hate or delusion.
vague, we have no means to verify what the actual test questions were, nor we can verify if the judgement of the tester is sound.

>>38961430
"pure" not defined and I will not necessarily agree on a definitiion
"defiled" not defined and I will not necessarily agree on a definitiion
again veracity of judgment of the tester (human element) can not be verified.

And again I do not agree if dogmas of buddhism, but of course if you find someone you can test for attainment of enlightenment with this person.
But anyway thank you for putting in the effort and providing primary sources to make the discussion less vague. That approach I appreciate very much.

it's your duty and imperative as a bodhisattva to tell the unwashed masses that you're enlightened and to help them achieve nirvana and buddhahood.

A better response to "I have attained enlightenment" would be screaming SOURCE???

No need to announce any spiritual progress of yours, especially since there's many traps along the way.

my point is that logic is bullshit and not even logical. it's founded on lot's of preconceptions and already agreed on truths.

i suspect that you are something worse than a science loving soiboy, you are a buddhist who only knows mumbo jumbo.

None of these masters of enlightenment in Buddhism ever truly reached what they claim. Motherfuckers had and have the avows of countless others and their hardships and experiences that lead to their awakenings does not equate at all to the modern Western recluse NEET T. me who only goes out for a walk to get their daily Big Mac for sustenance with that being the only time they use their voice to say they want a fucking coca-cola with their big mac and then they then go back to their shithole apartment with that the only people they ever see in their waking life for years being the ones at fast food restaurant, and then they go back and argue on 4chan about how some up their ass bald head fucks in robes surrounded by pretty buddha and dragon sculptures surrounded by their bros spewing empty spiritual platitudes and claiming to want for nothing all the while their peaceful life is handed to them by OTHERS BECAUSE THEY PRETEND THEY'VE ATTAINED SOME SORT OF IMMENSE INNER KNOWING AND PEACE TO FOOL RETARD MASSES.

I will tell you this supreme enlightened ones you only CLAIM TO HAVE WALKED THAT PATH BECAUSE IT IS YOUR PERSONALITY AND PERSONAL REALITY DEEMED IT ADVANTAGEOUS AND NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE GAINED ANY SORT OF IMMENSE UNDERSTANDING OF ALL.

Who says I want to? Who says I will?
Either reincarnation is true and it is endless and there is nothing one can do about it, or it is not true and suffering will end when life ends. Or it is true and it can be ended, in which case there remains only one thing to do, which is to become enlightened. The thing about enlightenment, though, is that it happens to you irrespective of your will. It is gifted, not taken.
In all cases, I detest the creator and its creation and will burn it all to ash given the choice. I would not spare any of you, for you all deserve nothing but nothing.

>>38967742

it is gifted to righeous people, not satan woshipping normniggers

Samsara never ends. Atma's attachment to it does.
>there remains only one thing to do, which is to become enlightened
>it happens to you irrespective of your will
So there is absolutely no need whatsoever to try and achieve it through physical or mental state, and anyone advocating a process to become enlightened is a liar and wasting your time.
>>
>>38967742
>irrespective of your will. It is gifted, not taken.
enlightenment happens when you follow the 8 fold path, it's not a gift and it's not about will power.
>>
>>38968180
No one chooses to follow that path.
