Spirituality has become common knowledge 1

And by that I mean, spiritual enlightenment is becoming more common. More beings than ever before are reaching Brahman, God, Higher Self, The Oversoul, Nirvana, whatever you want to call it.
I can point to about five, and imagine how many there are we don't even know about. Back in Jesus time he was the only one...
We are also emerging from the darkness of dogmatic religion and fascist ideologies. The Way has been pointed to, verified and confirmed. It hasn't changed since ancient times when the mystery schools and eastern knowledge such as Taoism and Zen popped up.
Possibly a lot of it is owed to the psychedelic movement. People trying to change within instead of control the without. The people I see on the bus are gentle and peaceful people. The people with severe violent and mental problems are now taken care of and transformed instead of being put to death. We now live in a world in which any path can be created through will power and using the resources we have imagined up and manifested such as health care, self improvement, mindfullness and spiritual enlightenment.
We've made it pretty far. Let's keep moving.

if you would believe him, a lot of it right now is because of a man named Nick Burrin who is gonna sound like a cult leader if I talk any more about him
First Shri Mataji came and she was an avatar
then Nick Burrin found her when we was destined to and had a lot of close contact and became God realized before anyone else on Earth
as more people get closer to where he is at, then a way is opened into the human unconscious for the deities (Krishna, Adi Guru, Ganesha ...) to get in and reside
I think that's happened

I think your confused. The whole notion of becoming 'god like' however you want to call it, enlightened, a high self, an oversoul, etc etc it is all about apotheosis/becoming a god, and this is EXACTLY what the elite believe and think themselves are! Via their own belief system. And when this is believed gues what happens..................?
You start looking at others, including animals and the whole of nature as lesser, more inferior than you, because you are experiencing delusions of grandeur. You have become a massive ego!
In the Eastern belief system these kinds of ideas have created the guru-system where you get , usually males, thinking themselves god-like, and then you get followers who believe that, and will allow these people to literally get away with murder!

dude, no
humans are definitely at a level of consciousness more complex than animals
animals have no ego... becoming enlighteneded is about letting your spirit take over your conciousness instead of your mind and ego
you really need to take a break from all spirituality forums and stuff for awhile if you didn't already know that... really, brother. Maybe look at the power of now thread before you go, but you really, really, really are mistaken about what enlightenment is.

Zzrip, spiritual enlightenment is actually the most humble state to be in. Enlightened masters treat all beings equal because they see the divine formless spirit underneath all ego and mask and mind.
Enlightenment is no ego and no mind.
The elites represent the old age. They too will eventually experience enlightenment.

I think spirituality has always been common knowledge. Everyone knows concepts like going with the flow and not taking things personally are recipe for a more peaceful life. Even in elementary school, the cool kids are the chill kids. I don't agree that there are more "enlightened masters" in the world today as I don't believe in enlightenment being a permanent shift that results in no suffering like most seekers do.

A seeker may soon realize that perfection, in this case enlightenment, is not possible as a goal...rather its already within. Accessing that, as Yeah said, is all we can do as far as letting our spirit overcome our ego, or rather temporarily remove or disable the ego filters. I dont know any one who has "stayed" this way.
We're silly humans, but being aware of our higher self, we are able to pinpoint and work on the things that take us away from this.

According to some, this is going to be exactly it. A face to face with themselves. I imagine there would be some very intense demons there. A lot of these super high ups are not good people. What we would wish for is a brave and courageous move into the light. The grace of God can turn even a psychotic killer to love.
We also need to consider that some of these beings are not even human and enlightenment would not be possible for them in their current lifetime.

Fair enough. I think that most people experience gradual enlightenment through their life and it is a never ending process. We agree on that.
I am convinced that total enlightenment is possible. I don't know for sure if it's the same thing but I liken it to an ego loss trip on mushrooms. It is a place of no form or materiality, there is no subject and object, only subject. In this state suffering doesn't matter because there is no person to suffer.
I don't know if this is the state or non state that masters are in. They all exude infinite love and bliss and emptiness that heals the beings around them.

God-realisation, the Self, or whatever, is not the end of it, fyi (sorry if partronising).
Discovery never ends. Self-realisation (capital S) is just the door to the dawn.

I kind of doubt Tolle on that list. Something just doesn't feel right about him.

I look around social media and public avenues in my Floridian city and I see amounts of people with their heads buried in cell phones, political discourse and the stroking of their roles played on this stage, limited to past experiences, cultural influence and future expectations. My dense, inner ego mind thinks they are missing the beauty of the world around them, if only they could just let go and be, and of course that is logically understandable when relayed to eastern and mystical conceptualization...
but when the consciousness transmutes the life-force into my fingers typing these words, and there is no longer an I and body to identify with, but rather the stream of pure experience (to condense it into language) there is nothing but the eternal energy, a sacred intelligence manifesting within all perception, there is nothing out of order for it is all interconnected and weaved within the tapestry of now, like ripples and waves on the ocean of feeling.
You are all truly loved, and I will be one to admit that I struggle with my spiritual maintenance. I have a propensity towards addiction in many shades which tends to cloak my intention. Yet, the cinder of truth and god will burn forever and I hope we as inhabitants of earth can reach a harmonious life with each other, animals and all the green magic we rely on for the breath of insight, and when the moment is here where the organism fails, and we fade into our final dream, we will smile wider than the grand canyon knowing we were already home.

I would say people are claiming to reach such heights, I mean people have certainly faked it before and had followers believe and hang on their words.
TO me it still seems like religion, only with a new paint job. Salvation if you follow and misery and pain if you don't. Same rhetoric.
