What is enlightenment?

[Ewwerrin]

Yes, the pooping experience is often helping us understand the experience of enlightenment. We feel heavy and dense. And after releasing allot of tension, we naturally release resistance, what is no longer relevant, and then, we feel lighter and more free and at ease and at peace and we feel enlightened.

Really? I thought it was: Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, get your students to chop wood, carry water for you. Or a butler or something after you wrote a few books.

The hell with enlightenment then.

A true teacher believes themselves to be equal to their students.

You’ve been told..
A true teacher is equal to their students..

I have to agree with that statement.

Nooo, you guys got it all wrong. A true enlighten master is suppose to believe to be better than everyone else.


But to be fair my response has nothing to do with believing to be better than. (In jest as usual) But.....like "The Karate Kid" movie where the student thought he was doing the teachers chores for him not realizing it was a huge part of the training process. Not just to win at karate but to grow as a person in life.

Since you are always the center of your Youniverse. It is always accurate to say that you are better than everyone else. And you are the cause of everything that exists. And if your reality sux, you are then very good at creating a reality that sux...

It isn't about learning that you create your reality. Nor about learning how to create your reality. It is Not even about learning what reality to create.

It is about Choosing what reality to create, simply because you want to. Because that is what you prefer.

Not because someone outside of you tells you to, unless that is the reality you TRUELY want to create and enjoy creating.
Not because you believe they are better at creating your reality. Because if one believes that, they are actually creating a reality in which another is better at creating their reality than they are. Which is simply a misunderstanding.

When one clarifies their perspective and aligns it with the laws of the universes, it is always very easy to simply know what one prefers in the moment. Because there is no heavy burden of self contradictions weighing the individual down. They feel lighter, naturally, more free to create the reality of their true preference in and of being, doing or having anything they so truely desire, also always fully capable of knowing exactly what that is in its ever joyful expansion of being and becoming evermore joyfully capably freely here and now.

All the words can only point at it. And help resolve any irrelativities that prevent one from naturally realising their true self. And find the indicator of all indicators of the enlightened feeling of light joyfulness. That than indicates their full alignment with and realisation of their true being.

A true teacher knows that not only is there no teacher without the student, but also that the teacher is also the student and the student is also the teacher.

In spirituality, what we're learning is the art of intuition, which is seeing clearly with our own human faculties, not so much learning anything external. This is why teaching is often indirect, it's no good just hearing the truths second hand, the teachers can only assist us to experience it for ourselves.
