Todays enlightenment is tommorows mistake.. unless you realise the ultimate truth.

If i knew who murdered my loved one I would report them to the police.
What were you doing at the time of awakening?
1. Why come on here and tell us your enlightened?
2. Whats the *truth* you have attained?
3. What makes you think youve become enlightened
4. Was your experience the same as Buddhas? He became enlightened when he learnt truth about desire, craving, beating mara etc etc
5. How do you know what your experiencing isnt Satori (glipse of enlightenment)
6. What changes in your day to day life now that you have become enlightened?
7. What actually is timelessness? Please explain, after your experience.
'These are just some questions to warm you up. ill be shooting more deeper, meaningful ones soon' Hope your ready for them.
good question. (look foward to the answer)
No not really. My ideas, concepts and grasping at the idea of "being filled up" by this sandwich, which was no longer there, left me clinging to the weeds like a hungry ghost, saying hello to Samsara all over again!!!
Still clinging to the weeds.......
An enlightened being would not have fallen into the trap of judging someone as sounding deluded.
In comparison to an enlightened being, everyone is deluded.
It's a given.
so why state the obvious?
IMO?
definitely not enlightened.
Why trumpet the fact?
Because you see, to declare yourself enlightened, is in fact, the greatest delusion of all.
An Enlightened being does not need to make such an announcement.
it is clear in his/her words and deeds.
Advertising the fact simply increases your cynicism and your delusion.
I feel like an enlightened being would have an infinitely wise answer. If you give me a good answer, I'll give you mine
2. Impermanence.
3. My first sleep, and my first awakening.
4. Similar, I laughed for a long time when i realised that if Mara = illusion there is nothing to be scred of.
5. I have had many Satori's in the past and none have ever made me glow and feel as spacious within as I did during enlightenment.
6. Very little. More optimistic i suppose.
7.
It is very subjective. Reaching high states of equanimity require a lot of compassion to have been cultivated over a long period of time. A lot can happen in this process and a lot can go wrong, but with wisdom and merit there will be a gradual acceleration towards the divine. There are many realms to get lost in, and few will escape these delusions. Try to find the "middle way" where you just observe and loosen up to all that occurs. It wont just happen without at least a few satoris. Unless you have extremely good karma
I wont be able to answer all questions straight away. I need to meditate on them for a while before i answer. I still live with my parents and there is a lot of negative energy i am struggling to process. Taking it all in my stride though. There is a noticeable difference in my resilience to negative energy, although i will not fool you into thinking this level of enlightenment i have reached is in any way near what it will grow to be , or any where near the level of the buddha, because at the moment i have many old patterns i am continually purging as we speak ^_^. I don't think mindfullness practise ever ends when there is so much neurosis around.
looking forward to your deeper inquiries.
I'll meet him and report back....
Actions speak louder than words, and usually, seeing is believing....
There you go.
you are NOT enlightened. You have merely possibly attained a different level of awareness.
But you are not enlightened.
A dangerous premise to posit.
be wary of making such declarations; or choose your words more wisely.
You can't be "a little bit enlightened".
That's like being slightly pregnant.
you either are - or you aren't.
Im still willing to answer those deeper questions buddhacoe if you are still curious to ask.
When you finally reach the end of the path, you will know. Go until you can go no further, and never make the mistake of stopping short. You obviously see there is more path to be walked, so don't claim you've made it to the end when you can only see it.
As for my question, you do nothing. It is far easier to do nothing than it is to poke and harass somebody. The harasser would surely tire before you.
Okay, maybe you are right. This was as fun as i thought it would be though. So many are so precious on this site!
wow

You are wise to think i am deluded... but you are deluded to think i am not wise.
If you are in the tree, how do you stay alive?
Now I have many questions!
How does one function in this world? If you are a buddha then you are mirror. What do you do when someone needs help?
Is there a hierarchy in what is more truth in relation to speaking, silence, and action?
If you did indeed wake up from the mind, then remember there is more awakenings.
You need to awaken from the heart and gut. Keep going deeper until you forget that you are enlightened.
The only difference between a buddha and a normal human being is that the buddha doesn't attach to words, beliefs, ideas, emotions, etc. detachment doesn't mean the buddha doesn't engage. the buddha totally accepts and allows fires to enter and burn away.
