    Who here is enlightened?

    that's just it, learning something new isn't what buddha was talking about. it's a specific experience that is the fruit of walking the path. the path that Buddha, Jesus, (insert prophet here) has produced after making their own independent light. All of these faiths produce lanterns for a...

    Who here is enlightened?

    I am here trying to get my bearings as to what people think or say that enlightenment is and it is an interesting read I must say! there should be multiple definitions of enlightenment so that we know which one whomever is talking about. and there are but no one knows them. I first...

    I attained nirvana

    this was very interesting to read. I get where the explanations are coming from they just don't seem accurate for me maybe bc I'm comparing it to basically things that use electricity instead of thunder. I've been in serious thunderstorms but this was a cross between being electrocuted and being...

    I attained nirvana

    I totally agree sister. This is where a picture speaks a thousand words could come into play and be helpful , and even then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How does one speak truth and assure truth is heard by the listener? People are gonna see and hear whatever they want to...

    I attained nirvana

    that is the best way i can put it. Each person has their own experience. I've had the issue of being pulled to behave as if I have no ego or even a name as I interact with random people, strangers, whatever. the goal is to have no ego it is better for myself and for the people I meet. the ego is...

    I attained nirvana

    It may be a "swooshy" sound to you but it was the loudest thing I've ever heard or felt in my life. I was sitting crossed legged palms up and open facing east meditating did my usual breathing thing focusing on seeing with the third eye running a few thoughts- then- I listened -to my mass...

    I attained nirvana

    the documentary I watched with subjects that were administered DMT under doctor supervision seemed fried by the experience to me just like many people who did too much LSD seem fried to me. it is my opinion. Iyuahuasca has been brewed by shamans for thousands of years and a medical team was...

    Who here is enlightened?

    I'm not able to carry it in to my everyday life. I am not a master. So the reality of the idea of living an enlightened life eludes me. In this culture right now for me a whole lot is impossible and always has been. Much of that isn't going to change. The spiritual path sure doesn't make it...

    Who here is enlightened?

    Aha, that is just it. I follow the path of truth. Actually My personal belief is that there is only one religion and it is all of them. I follow whatever is true as I learn about them all. The religion I follow is non existent as far as name or a place there is not one to go to so i go to any...

There were enlightened. referencing Kensho There is no possibility for "me " to say I am enlightened. There was a before. and during I was not me. ego was gone my thoughts...

    Who here is enlightened?

    Is this thread for people who have had a certain experience during meditation that has been given the tag "enlightenment" or not? It has been called many things in different faiths but if someone has experienced it they would know. It is not a general happy go lucky feeling or experience. Those...

    I attained nirvana

    correct on both counts. Iyuahuasca (sp) is a shamanistic brew from south america as far as i know. You're supposed to have a guide and the tea or drink they make has effects that increase and decrease over the "trip". I watched the documentary on DMT and those people who were administered it...

    I attained nirvana

    Hello, and it was Kensho. that would be the specific definition. I'm more lost after it than I was before, so i wouldn't say nirvana. Trying to get more than basically educated in every school of thought is time consuming but every answer is there somewhere I suppose so i do it anyway :-)

    Who here is enlightened?

    they way things are going we'll probably be helping each other. There are always posers. Priests raping children are posers. preachers beating their family are. those honest in their imperfection are closer to light than those that lie. I wouldn't feel superior. I'd feel like I should have...

    Who here is enlightened?

    I am aware there is neither a sad nor angry buddha the anger and sadness came after kensho. I am now angry more people are not angry. Mostly at the state of our planet. I am also pulled to a feeling that there is a time and a season for everything, even anger. I wonder if some parts of...

    We'll be called out of hiding soon enough and the posers won't make the cut to their dismay

    I attained nirvana

    I'll just check on this one once in a while, or start my own I guess. Interacting with people is really hard even though I want to. Good thing enlightenment is a solo experience!

    I attained nirvana

    Well, I have difficulty navigating the enlightenment thread bc I'm autistic and it seems like a room with 20 people talking at once and I wouldn't know how to handle that in real life. I can't handle it. and no one seems to be here anymore. Namaste and bye-bye
