Enlightened * 2
    #23421717 - 07/07/16 10:06 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I've been resonating with my higher power all night and it's felt amazing. Its crazy to think of how so much of society is enslaved; mentally and emotionally. It's not right to make others miserable because of ones own unhappiness. I don't have these chains on my mind and soul. I am lucky and grateful be an enlightened one.

Once achieving enlightenment, one only wants to pull all his/her loved ones to the same freedom and enlightened state. I wish I could take the chains off my loved ones soul's and mind's.

My higher power is a consciousness. An all knowing, all wise and complete being that thirsts for nothing. It doesn't look at ones self and have to question questions of existence or purpose.

I wish to take the chains off my loved ones soul's so badly. I want nothing more than to free them and it hurts so fucking bad I can't do it for them.

I achieved Brahman state once again. I wish to free the ones I love. I do not thirst for nothing but only the wellbeing of my fellow men and women. I am absolutely and without question; I am the light unto myself. I wish my fellow would stops looking out and sees that as well; that they are thy light unto thyself.

Hell is not a place or destination, it's a thought or state of mind. Hate can not be beneficial regardless whichever end you are on. Thy can not wish Ill will towards another without unknowingly wishing ill will against thyself. It is impossible to have hate for another when one have love for thyself. It's undeniably impossible. Hate and negative feelings have nothing to do with the other person, they signs and symptoms of unhappiness with oneself.

If one is truly happy with oneself, he realizes that hate will do nothing but enslave himself.
Thy love thyself, and thy higher power. I have love for each and every one of y'all.

This trip has truly spoken to me; if you are holding onto hate, sorrow, turmoil and/or negative feelings, let them go. It feels so much better to be free of any negativity and become one with all. If someone lashes out against you, don't be so quick to lash back; these people are acting like this for a reason; These people are hurting. Be your brothers keeper. One love

Great read man. I wish I was surrounded by people like you in my life. I want a bunch of enlightened friends instead of scummy cunts who try and fuck me over. I guess they're just acquaintances.

Tripping taught me that emotions are nothing but a supplement to our consciousness. Don't let emotions rule you. Instead have love for your consciousness- not your emotions and you will value and live life in a very different way.

LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time.
Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g)

Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

Thank you for sharing, beautiful words.

Don't be bothered too much about "freeing" your beloved ones.
We are all the same one, dreaming this play, "your" role is this understanding, "theirs" is another one, for now.
We must have both "sides" to be able to experience, otherwise, we will all be enlightened, and know nothing about it.

Last night was much needed; truly soul cleansing and eye opening. I agree with you guys completely YeOlde, Zack and Mike; I can't fight my loved ones spiritual and emotional battles for them, only radiate my light upon them and surround them with my enlightened state of concousness.

Many of the awakened never seek the full potential of the God mind. only an ego can want anything, and the only reason we desire to help people is to pride ourselves and subconsciously accept superiority over those with less knowledge than us. There is nothing great or bad about enlightenment, it is where true balance ensues but it is misconstrued as happiness and love, when it is strength and acceptance. we all get exactly whay we deserve, not by fate, but by our own actions. God is often referred to as "the desire for human connection" but this is false, God is only truly embraced through self reliance. We need not to help those who choose to live under the illusion, for it is our own choice to do so and our own responsibility to answer our questions. By choosing to show someone the truth allows dependence to seem as a necessity, and often does more destruction than creation. God is truly the destination that all of us are trying to reach, but it is much simpler to provide the truth and allow one to decide for themselves rather than to express our opinions about truth and put our efforts towards awakening people. It is natural order for those who seek the truth to find it and those who are dependent of others to be subjected to a hard life. Everybody truly gets what they deserve

Just gonna throw this out there since "enlightenment" is my focus
Enlightened people don't give a shit.
Enlightenment is not a state.
Its not something that comes and goes

You may be referring to unity consciousness, but certainly not enlightenment

If you're interested at all check out Jed Mckenna's spiritual enlightenment series to get started. I think the first chapter pretty much covers what I've just said

Re: Enlightened [Re: JForce]
    #23430541 - 07/10/16 09:12 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

In a conversation with an aged brahmin, the Buddha once explained concisely what is meant by a Buddha, an enlightened one:

“What has to be known, that I have known;
What has to be abandoned, that I have abandoned;
What has to be developed, that I have developed;
Therefore, O brahmin, I am a Buddha.”

These are not only three characteristics of a Buddha; they are also the three objectives we aim at in following the Buddha’s teaching. We follow the Dhamma to fully know what should be known; to abandon what should be abandoned; and to develop what should be developed. These are the goals of the Buddhist path and the three accomplishments that mark the attainment of enlightenment.

What does it mean to say that our task is “to know that which should be known”? What we have to know, what we have to understand, is that which is closest to ourselves, what we usually refer to as our self. What we usually refer to as our self is this complex of body and mind. For most of us, from the time we are born right up to the time of our death, our minds are oriented outwardly, engaged in a tireless quest for pleasure and sensual gratification, for the enhancement of our self, for the confirmation of our sense of ego-identity. Very few people stop and turn around to consider the question, “What is it that I call my self? What is it that I refer to as my self?” And yet, if you reflect for just a moment, you will see that this is the most important question we can ask.

So our task in following the Buddha’s teaching is to investigate, to examine, that which we refer to as “I,” as “my self,” as “what I am.” We usually take these terms to refer to some kind of persisting entity, an ego, a substantial self possessing a real identity, but what the Buddha asks us to do is to see what we find when we look for the referents of the terms, “I,” “me,” and “my self.” When we look, when we investigate, what we find are just components of bodily and mental experience, which the Buddha has classified into five aggregates: physical form, feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness. These are called the “five aggregates of clinging” because they are the things that we ordinarily cling to as, “This is mine, this is what I am, this is my true self.” Our task in following the Buddha’s teaching is to understand the true nature of these five aggregates. We thereby come to know that which constitutes our identity. From birth, through adulthood, through old age, to death — this whole process of life is just a procession of the five aggregates.

The second project the Buddha’s teaching sets for us is “to abandon that which should be abandoned.” What should be abandoned are the defilements. The Buddha uses the word kilesas as an umbrella term that includes all the mental states that cause suffering and unhappiness in our lives. The unwholesome mental states are called kilesas. The word can be translated afflictions because they bring suffering. It can also be translated defilements because they defile and corrupt the mind. The Buddha has analyzed the nature of the defilements and has beautifully explained how they can all be traced to the three “root defilements” of greed, hatred, and delusion. Our task in following the Buddha’s teaching, in practicing the Dhamma, is to overcome, to eliminate, to abandon the defilements of greed and hatred that give rise to many other branch defilements. But greed and hatred spring ultimately from delusion or ignorance. And thus to eliminate all the defilements, we have to eliminate ignorance.

Ignorance is what covers up the five aggregates, that which should be known. Thus the way to overcome ignorance is through the first task — “knowing that which should be known.” When we know that which should be known, ignorance falls away — and then greed, hatred, and all the other defilements fall away. It isn’t possible, however, to accomplish this merely by having the desire to do so. We can’t expect simply to think, “I want to know that which should be known,” and immediately it is known. That’s why the whole practice of Buddhism is a process of walking a path. The great gift that the Buddha offers the world is not simply a profound philosophy, not simply a very penetrating psychology, but a practical, systematic, step-by-step path that we can cultivate in sequence.

To cultivate the path means to “develop that which should be developed.” That is the third project the Buddha speaks of in his four-line verse: “That which should be developed, that I have developed.” So what the Buddha has developed is what we have to develop. The path is structured in such a way that it proceeds not suddenly, not abruptly, but in a gradual step-by-step manner to help us climb the ladder to the ultimate freedom of enlightenment. One has to begin by keeping the coarser expression of the defilements under control. One does this by observing the precepts, the Five Precepts or the Eight Precepts. These control the coarser expressions of the defilements, the way the defilements break out or erupt in the form of unwholesome actions.

We next have to cultivate concentration. When we try to collect the mind, we gain insight into the workings of our own minds. By understanding the workings of our own minds, we’re gradually changing the shape of the mind. First, we are beginning to scrape away the soil in which the unwholesome roots have been lodged. The process isn’t a quick or easy one, but requires gradual, persistent, and dedicated effort. As one practices consistently, the mind will eventually settle into firm concentration. It acquires the skills needed to remain consistently settled upon an object, without wavering, and this provides the opportunity for wisdom to arise.

Wisdom is the third quality that needs to be developed. Wisdom comes through examination, through investigation. When one has developed a strongly concentrated mind, one uses that mind to investigate the five aggregates. As one investigates, one directly sees into their real nature, into “the true characteristics of phenomena.” Generally, one first sees the arising and falling away of the five aggregates. That is, one sees their impermanence. One sees that because they’re impermanent, they’re unsatisfactory. There’s nothing worth clinging to in them. And because they’re impermanent and unsatisfactory, one cannot identify with any of them as a truly existing self. This is the empty or self-less nature of the five aggregates. This marks the arising of true insight wisdom.

With insight-wisdom, one cuts deeper and deeper into the root of ignorance until one comes to fully understand the nature of the five aggregates. When one does so, one can then say that one has “known that which should be known.” And by fully knowing that which should be known, the defilements “that should be abandoned have been abandoned,” and the path “that should be developed has been developed.” One then realizes that which should be realized, the extinction of suffering right here and now. And, in the Buddha’s own words, that is the mark of an Enlightened One.

I was referring to unity concousness by stating that I had accomplished Brahman state again, not by saying I have achieved Enlightened state again. And I disagree an enlightened person does not look at a family member or friend that is struggling with pain and/or spiritual confusion and just "not give a shit" about them or what they are going through.

Where are you getting this information??? Just cause a person is enlightened does not mean her/she does not have an ego. And my desire to see my closest friends and family not hurt physically or spiritually has to do with me wanting to feel superior or having pride in myself over them on a subconscious level??? Makes no sense to me. But I digress and choose not to argue over something I know inside my soul.

I am not trying to be rude at all, please understand that, I sincerely mean that.

But if one is enlightened, they do not know they are so.  Those that are enlightened, often never think they are, and are always working to better themselves.
