Enlightenment is bullshit isn't it. Humans have always wanted a way out of psychological suffering so we came up with this idea that you can "transcend" shit and be super human but you can't. You can pretend you have for a while but you're always just going to be an ape chasing pleasure and avoiding pain.
>>41641575 Seems like a (you) problem.
>>41641575The lesser light make itself visible by reflecting off of material surfaces and thereby give appearance of existing as a thing. Whereas higher form of light like gamma rays will penetrate and pass through material things. Likewise is your ego clinging to material things and sense gratification as way of affirming its existence, whereas the spirit will pass through unbound unrestricted existing as itself. Enlightenment is like gamma rays.
>>41641826Resembles denial, or deception.They will run in to tell you it's you, I suggest considering the source.Unless you're a person of means, this world is a grind to manage decline, anyone saying otherwise can't relate or is selling you something.
>>41641826Is this how you cope?
>>41641575maybe the best shit is living, dying, ded
>>41641575>avoiding pain.you called?
>>41641575yes and noas you say, superpowers and other shit is bs, you don't reach enlightenment by expecting to reach enlightenment, it's much more subtle, elusive, imperceptible, but at some point you look back at your life and you can see that sometime somewhere you changed, that's it. Enlightenment is less of a pokevolution and more of a quiet letting go of the patterns of behavior that weren't working for you, keep doing that and eventually there's so little patterns that hold your attention that other people regard you as "different" but they aren't quiet sure how

>>41641826 BASED AND RAYPILLED.Enlightenment is not warm sunlight. It is a gamma ray burst that ionizes. It does not nurture; it mutates your spiritual DNA, leaving you either Hulked-out or spiritually terminally online. There is no going back. You are just glowing in the dark now.
>>41641575no, enlightenment is literalif one is enlightened, shen-light literally emanates from their bodythere's of course far more to it than just that, but if a mf claims to be enlightened and doesnt literally have light coming off of him, ee's full of shit
>>41642443I hate it when people type meme versions of enlightenmentespecially when they're totally seriousbut they usually dont realize their view is completely meme version and not real at all
>>41642460siddhis come long before enlightenment
>>41642486 Do not glow to attract eyes. The true glow is not a signal; it is the light you emit when departing this realm.
>The enlightened were the OG glowies.
>>41641575I once woke up from sleep and it was like the mind didn't wake up with me. It was like there was no divisibility between the seer, seeing and seen yet there was still appearance. It was as if I was just infinite bliss (not an emotion but was it) unchanging without beginning or end everywhere. There were no thoughts or emotions. Everything occurred automatically, it was as if the divine was acting and speaking through me and I just remained as that unchanging infinity. It was effortless and there was no lack. It was as if nothing which appeared could touch me or affect me yet everything which occured was moved by me without me doing anything. There was no effort or lack. It was as if there was no I or others yet that infinity was my I. Then by the next day I woke from sleep and duality returned with my normal thinking mind.
I went truly deep with new age philosophy trying to cope my way out of reality.I had to deconstruct because I felt like I was chasing my own tail and it gave me huge anxiety.Those gurus made me believe that the reason for my own unhappines was my mind, and if I changed how I percieved the whole reality I would be happy.I was almost like some type of budhist monk or some shit.Like you said it worked for a while, but the mind aint stupid. You can fool your brain forever.
>>41642575 The right path is to calm the mind itself until it ceases. Then you will realize that the mind is just another object in your awareness, not who you are. Nothing needs to be restructured; this understanding happens on its own, without effort. New Age gurus are unnecessary for this.
>>41641575Enlightenment/transcendence is a temporary state one achieves when they arrive at the intersection between evolution and being aware of that evolution. There are patterns I have noticed within life and the biggest of all is that things tend towards some kind of growth. When you rip your muscle fibers they strengthen, when species specialize they get better at a specific task, ect. I also see this pattern in the philosophical world. Where one starts at the base feeling without logic, they "get" the message but they don't understand it, they live in the physical. Then we reach the mind which is dictated by logic, where philosophical thought reigns supreme and everything must be answered by answers that dwell within the nature of logic. Spirituality is the final evolution of this stage because we return to feeling with the logic we held, it is the evolution of the mind to an even higher level of thinking because we begin to perceive the things both outside of the physical and logical world of the mind, i.e., evolving from our mind.The physical world cannot leave us but we can reason it and we can reason that there is a higher order to things, that the world is not inherently dictated by chaos but that it does follow some kind of order within it. My reasoning begins to fall short on why I shouldn't abandon the physical world as it is painful and depressing. I believe it to be through other forces that I am made to love this pain as a continuous beam of joy and pleasure would both be boring to me but also not challenging at all. It's as if I am a muscle that also wants to be exercised by the world at large.
>>41641575Enlightenment and awareness is your true nature and you dont need to meditate or anything to achieve it, just recognize your true nature which is existence consciousness and bliss
>>41642683 Those are some really profound thoughts, anon. You are right that we can perceive beyond the mind. It is like a capacity, a muscle of recognition, that can be trained. We exist within a single, dynamic flow of awareness, and the subtle perceptions you mention are glimpses into its deeper layers.This apparent world is temporary, a luminous dream. In truth, there is nowhere to go, for a solid, separate world never fundamentally existed. It is merely an image reflected in the mirror of pure Awareness. To recognize one's nature as that very Awareness is not an achievement, but a shift in perceptual plane. The so-called physical world would then dissolve like a dream upon waking, leaving no trace it was ever there.
>>41642683>Enlightenment/transcendence is a temporary state one achieves when they arrive at the intersection between evolution and being aware of that evolution.people with 0 understanding of this process should fuck off instead of providing entirely speculative word salads about their conjectures>>41642696>Enlightenment and awareness is your true nature and you dont need to meditate or anything to achieve it, just recognize your true nature which is existence consciousness and blissthis statement is pure garbage and only steers the reader away from the true meaning
I've been saying if you seek enlightenment to escape or just better yourself you are a coward.If you seek it to help those around you and beyond you are not.Just because you think humanity doesn't give a fuck about you doesn't mean you shouldn't give a fuck about them.
