If I tell u I'm enlightened, that I'm a like Buddha or Christ is absurd. In my humble opinion anybody who claim that he is intelligent is a liar. Enlightenment is the process of the mind to discover false as false. Awakening to false way of living is being enlightened. The important key to awakening is sorrow. If the "me" or the "I" in each and every one of us see and feel the pain of living in a chaotic world and finally dig the root of chaos then you are enlightened. Then you become the light to this dark and lonely world.

If i had done that already I would be a bodhisattva and I would have stopped the wheel of Dharma, but seems like we are far from it. Besides well, I do realize that the world we "see" is not real, and that it has no intrinsic existence, it's just an association of phenomena that we perceive trhough our sensorial apparatus, ebyond which we can't know nothing. We are still anchored to survival, to adaptation, to this earthly life, and as long as we want to keep ie to maintain the "self" there is no enlightment. How can you do it? well, break the attachments to everything even to your "self" and realize that it's all an illusion. If you can do this, then you have done nothing, because there is nothing at the end, just as there was nothing at your start point. realize this and you will achieve enlightment.

If anyone becomes enlightened they would not be here...they would be in Nirvana. No one can tell you the trigger, it is different for each one of us. Just keep practicing mindfullness and meditation and you will understand.

My girlfriend brought a book of bible versus and studies to me a few weeks back because I was going through a bad time. for what ever reason, I have been feeling the urge to go to church ( i dont go, and havent for quite some time). I went and had an awesome experience, and now I feel as if things are starting to open up!
