Hello. I'm an enlightened person.

Hey guys

My name is Ciaran Healy, and I'm an enlightened person. I hit enlightenment on July 13th of this year. I didn't take it in the normal direction.

When I was very young, I noticed that there were patterns inside what I suppose you might refer to as human evil. Goodness was pretty simple, but evil seemed to me this unholy mess of rationalisations and self-woven lies.

What was also clear was that these lies all had a common structure. That structure could be filled with anything, but recurred exact and complete regardless of content or scale.

It totally captivated me, and set me on a path that was to lead to my own enlightenment.

I didn't expect that I would ever make it, but I also felt very deeply that what I wanted to gain from it was not the peace of the Buddha, but also a clear understanding of the core mechanism of transmission. Basically I wanted to understand the central mechanism of opening up the enlightened state for the first time to such a degree that I would be able to communicate it in a completely new and more effective way.

When I hit enlightenment, I was very wary of becoming something I'd always feared the enlightened state would entail becoming - a recreational Buddha. I felt it was important that I did not lose my focus on the mass communication of the actual enlightened state.

Enlightenment is much more like freedom than it is like peace. Once you deepen it, it absolutely does dissolve the rage and pain that are a part of the human condition, but in the brief period after the initial awakening, although the central lynchpin of human delusion has been removed, the actual architecture of that delusion lingers for a while.

I had been so focused on gaining enlightenment at the expense of all other concern in my life - including morality - that the architecture I had was actually pretty toxic.

This resulted in a very interesting and unexpected thing - I lost my temper. As an enlightened person. I was only just over the threshold of the state, and remember - enlightenment is freedom, so you are free to do what you want, and if you don't want peace you are not bound by fate and destiny to be peaceful.

A good way to think of it is in terms of Yin and Yang.

Most enlightened move toward the Yin, toward the peace of being.

I didn't do this. I'll be honest, I was very wary of doing so. My issue was not that it is intrinsically bad, but that the world is in too dangerous and precarious a position for another enlightened person to just disappear up a mountainside.

I could be wrong, but I think the reason we don't see many 'Yang' enlightened throughout history is that going 'Yang' as an enlightened is a very intense thing to do.

It's just as intense as the peace felt by those who go toward the 'Yin' of being.

I hope I'm making sense. I realise this is pretty abstract. I'm happy to explain myself in full - whatever you guys need.

To cut a long story short I kicked off in an online conversation with two men who were academic philosophers, and specialists in logic.

I'd just blown a major piece of western philosophy wide open, and was pleased with myself in a manner totally unbecoming of a jnani.

I posted it up and got two very aloof and dismissive responses.

I just tore into them. It wasn't pretty. But being enlightened I was able to retain total focus with that fury, and filled my anger with the truth I had seen and the close understanding I had of the core mechanism of awakening.

I did not expect them to awaken. But they did.

These were not prepared men. They did not have years of meditation under their belt and as far as I can tell looked on the work of Eckhart Tolle with total contempt (I do not share this contempt).

I checked. I probed. I asked them many questions and prodded them intellectually in many ways. It was true. They were awake.

This to me was stunning. I'd worked for enlightenment, over many long years and many brutal pitfalls - but the transmission of enlightenment was something I really stumbled upon by accident.

It took me about a month to burn out the rage completely. It really did me some damage - not psychologically as I am enlightened, but it took a serious toll on my body.

It was very dark, a very dark thing to do, but I felt it was my duty to discover what it was that was getting the actual liberated state across.

I've made some headway. I've personally confirmed 28 enlightened people that I have directly cracked out in the last 3 and a bit months. More exciting to me than this is the fact that 12 of those people have enlightened one or more people themselves.

We've started quite a club. There's something like 40 of us.

I don't have the mechanism totally nailed down yet. I know it's something like the fusion of Yin and Yang - the force and power of Yang, but stripped completely of Yang's damaging potential.

The purity and compassion of Yin, but enlivened and made active by the Yang principle.

I've been having some serious success - and let me tell you, it's a lot more user-friendly.

It's all very exciting.

Anyway, I think it's high time I brought this whole situation to the attention of a serious spirituality forum, which is why I'm here.

I'm not a magic person. I can't free everyone.

But it does seem obvious to me now that what I have done, in fusing the hard-headedness of the West with the deep truths of the East has opened up a gateway which I honestly think it's fair to say, isn't mind-breakingly hard to walk through.

So, that's me.

Yeah.

Very interesting introduction CiaranRT. Welcome to SF, i am sure you will find many enlightened beings here.

Hi CiaranRT, welcome, yea my Enlightenment is just simple, just to be who I truly am, nothing more or nothing less.

I shall look forward to reading as to how your "enlightenment" manifests itself through your words and relation of your deeds in the physical.

I dont regard Enlightenment as a destination, but as a journey. Surely, it's is more realistic to say that we are on a Path to Enlightenment, not Enlightened.

Welcome !

Welcome !

Well whats the use of having a path if there is no destination ?, its either you want to stay on the path or be at the destination.

Hi ciaran.

I'm glad you have found happiness.

I'm new however to the phrase of being enlightened. What is the process by which this happens? Is it a Buddism process?

Were you previously religious in the more traditional sense?

Thanks ciaran.

Think of it as a moving target. The Journey, The Way, The Tao !

But while you have a target you still have the arrow, become the target, the journey is then over, your home now, but the funny thing is you've always been home lol.

hi ciaran,

i can quite believe you receive negative responses. For me i no longer like the term enlightened as i found that when i was searching enlightenment seemed like the end goal, i now know that it is merely the begining of a much greater journey. a poster above states quite rightly it is a moving target. common referance would have us believe it is the ultimate goal but it is just the completion of our vehicle ready for the greater journey to begin.

I know from what you say above that you have indeed stepped through the door way to what we abstractly refer to enlightenment. Or in current terms refer to as ascension.

i find the most important part of what you said to have been the fact that an enlightened person can still feel anger (not because they are unenlightened but because they are completely free to feel all emotions without programmed responses (many a you tube guru would have us believe that this is not possible)

It is like a desire to drive in formula one. you must first build a car, once this construction is complete (enlightenment) you are then ready for the journey to begin.

God bless on your journey.
