Being enlightened and not even knowing it

So many juicy comments in this thread! I resonant with many of them.
I could have jumped in anywhere with such great content and comments, but chose here.

Experiencing Unconditional Love, zero resistance and embracing acceptance of all things is such a fabulous state of being....however it's not necessarily useful to be in it all the time as we become disconnected from the human experience our own included and I believe we came here to experience being human with all its ups and downs.
The ego is a challenging and interesting perception tool which helps us experience humanness and Earth through a humans eyes. It can be of course deeply painful if the ego runs the whole show and is in reaction and resistance to everything and personalizing everything it can.
In this way being in the ego can be as painful as being in unconditional blissed out love and Oneness is disconnected from the human experience.

Finding the non-reactive yet loving gentle light shining middle ground seems a day by day, hour by hour tight rope walk of Attention and Presence.

If these teachers wish to reach the current generation, they need to use the web.

According to Variety website:

Consumers aged 13-24 watch 12.1 hours of video per week on YouTube, social media and other free online sources, and another 8.8 hours weekly on Netflix and other subscription-video services, according to a survey fielded by digital-media firm Defy Media. That’s more than two and a half times the 8.2 hours weekly they spend watching television.

Thank you, shivatar. I get the strong feeling enlightenment is a big joke... There is nothing to correct, change, or achieve. It has ALWAYS been there, so simple, just waiting to be realized.

Have you found your eternal self ?

if yes, then the enlightenment is really a joke.
If not then your ego is telling you not to search anymore.
