Honestly. I'll read and respond to anything anyone posts here if I can. Feel free to ask me anything or say anything to me that you want to.

How do you define enlightenment? Is this enlightenment possible to attain or is it just a path to take on the road of life?

Did you lie to me in PM or to yourself?

Well I don't know how to define enlightenment, which is at least part of the reason why I don't know if I am enlightened.

I said I would not do something that I am doing now, yes. Can a person really lie to themselves though? I always had the option of returning, even if I felt like I wouldn't, and I never saw that option go away, so I don't know if I ever really believed I would not return.

You don't know what you believed? Anyway I was just curious as to what happened.

"You don't know what you believed?"
I wouldn't say I believed anything. I thought about what it would mean to leave forever, or to go back on it right then. I thought it would be really novel to leave forever, but at the same time I wasn't committed enough to the premises for leaving to warrant not returning. If I hadn't come back to read I don't know if it would have bothered me. What bothered me was coming back and seeing too much agreement in a thread.

Enlightened is leaving this forum, the internet and never coming back.
Until someone really wants you back.

enlightenment is a subjective term that is different then anyone. If you are looking for 'objective enlightenment' chances are you wont find it, it may not even exist as far as we know and I personally don't think humans are capable of perceiving such a thing.
As for subjective enlgihtenment, if you dont feel that you are enlightened then you obviously aren't.

You're not enlightened and its a farce to say you are. You're welcome
