Is this the essence of spirituality? The bliss of godliness, your own Self revealed, never lost never forgotten only journeying within itself with the use of the illusion of mind - some power it has to play with itself... finally, one day, rediscovers itself, usually in the later twilight years of life but in the true religious seeker comes early, these eager and thirsty souls, these sons of God... maybe in their twenties or thirties, they find out that...

...it is but your own nature that you have sought long after, your own essence... the eternal untainted happiness of nothing but what you essentially are.

Is that the essence of spirituality, is it the ultimate spiritual prize? Yourself, eternal and free, surely playing some trick on yourself... finally comes home and that's that.

Is there anything more spiritual?




IMO it's the center of self centered indulgence.  But you enjoy it until you have to leave home and get a job and experience the joys of nature (survival of the fittest)

I really don't understand what passes for "spirituality" around here.  I recently was in discussion with another poster here who responded when I pointed out all the evil and suffering his favored religion was causing in the world replied matter of factly that he was in no way concerned with that as long as the religion fulfilled his personal spiritual needs.  And there you have it folks.

Perhaps we should leave it to those who are enlightened to define enlightenment to the masses.


and exactly how would the unenlightened know who those "enlightened" ones are?

I've seen enough around this place to know that they don't but think they do.  :satansmoking:

Well then I agree.  Lets quit with this creator and god stuff while we're at it for the same reasons. :thumbup:
