Tis good then, yeah?
I don't expect people to shower me with praise and adoration when I go and profess on an internet forum that I am so much more enlightened than others.
To each his own, especially "enlightenment".

Btw, i'm unenlightened. In my own way.
And don't think I haven't noticed.

I dont expect anything.

Why is "enlightenment" the end all achievement of most spiritual philosophies?
If you know then you dont need that.
Quote:
Enlightenment, I think, is an ongoing process, never ending.
Time does not apply. It does only apply if you want to bring enlightenment into this world. Because of limitations it would be a process.

"I dont understand the big deal about it"
What's the big deal about it?
You said it yourself
"it is beautiful"
Beauty is a big deal
Since you're enlightened
I'm sure you understand that
Which is why I'm confused about this:

Sure, it would be like looking into a mirror.

Oh, but you do.
Hence the "Now what?" question.
If you're enlightened, you should know, you wouldn't need to ask.
Pretty simple really.

there is no predetermined future.
But one thing I can say out of my vision. Civilisation as you (we) know it will not prevail.

Is it not so that enlightened people actually represent the future because they have achieved what lies within our potential?
Hence the: 'seeing the future?', being the experience an unenlightened person has when faced with an enlightened one.
Not in the context of actually knowing or seeing the future of things or the world, but more like the future of ourself, of humanity. Becoming and being enlightened. I guess...

Lol.
The point of enlightenment is not enlightenment itself. It's already there. There is no point, just be it.
Don't be silly.
