What is it that identifies with temporal things or non-dual awareness? The mind?

If so, then enlightenment is an unfolding process as much as darwinian evolution. And seeing that only a small percentage of world's population is unenlightened, in a practical sense, it's still work in progress.

I'm just a silly millimeter away from full enlightenment.:satansmoking:

I guess it's about development in some direction. Part of growing up is dealing with paradoxes and ambivalence, experiencing different conflicting emotions simultaneously. So, if enlightenment is becoming fully aware of non-dual awareness and ever-present perfection, the newly realized paradox is that things are both complete and incomplete, perhaps eternally.

What I was trying to express with this thread is that there is no honest way to bliss out from samsara. Even after enlightenment there is a paradox. There is always a paradox.




I agree with this.

Struggling to rationalize and make sense of all the paradoxes causes a lot of stress in most people, leading some to shave their head, eat mostly rice, and wear saggy robes. Others on the opposite side of the spectrum fly a plane into an IRS building.

I like to think I am both a participant in the whirling, buzzing drama, and also an observer on the sidelines, chillaxing in a serious metaphysical hammock.

It does "seem" like enlightenment and existence is this entangled phenomena, but this could all just be a pre-programmed dreamworld being fabricated by the sleeping pet robot of an alien family on Planet Pullmyfanger.
