This of course is only one type of place to pose as one of those people..

I'm sure there are other avenues..that some people could prove if you were there... but on here the competition and prize is much more glory in general..

Thank you for your Time...

The Self is alone real, even you are an illusion, something the Self is imagining.

When the individuality is destroyed through self-denial, austerities, sheer will against selfhood, meditation, all in moderation, the Self becomes the identity, the identified-with, instead of the imaginings or mental habits of 'your' particular 'unit' of Self.

It is not attained, as it is busy imagining things right now, that is all. The Self is not you. The Self is the Self.

so...

Those who are 'realised' are those who have generally denied strength to the ego identity, and occasionally, or perhaps most of the day, reside as Self, or rather Self just Is in 'them'.

If you are Self you are finished, gone, finito. You aren't you anymore, you are That which has always been. You are the Ancient One. God. Yahweh. But He is Him, not 'you'. You see enlightenment is a kind of insanity. "you" is forever lost.

No one left to prove anything, no one but You. That is Yourself you see in the eyes of the Buddha. It is no one else.

It's not you that realises God, it's that God decides, through his own grace upon his imagined or created entity, ie. you, to show Itself. The decision is God's alone.

You generally won't make that decision for yourself/Yourself until certain conditions are met in your behaviour and mind, because you hunger more for sensuality than for Reality. It's just what you want.

If you can tire of the world, by having a deep inward experience(s) that show you what is within is far greater than the things without, then you start to have awakenings into God.

Once you get a taste of God all else is second rate, the world dies to you, only to be reborn every time to awaken into God's Paradise, since the world is a manifestation of being, seeing is being, sight is consciousness.

Wonder if its more the question...Am I chosen to be this role..and some thing or not, etc..


most definitely NOT!
being chosen is entirely dependent on supernatural imaginings.


Being chosen is quite the same as 'it's just happening' by fitting the conditions...

the big difference is marketing.
marketing funded by royalty/politics/social upheaval (eg trump :lol:)
and marketing funded by carnal desire/acquisition (eg trump :foreheadslap:)


marketing is also just a demon of bullshit...
If the product is good, you only need to market it's characteristics/attributes.
The more blown up bullshit is marketed about any product nowadays, the more I know I won't buy that sh**t.
Thanks marketing :heart:

I don't mean it that way
Of course people are entitled to their religious traditions and preferences, to their favorite cereals and running shoes, etc.
All I am saying is that there is no dependable school, or reliable matriculation, so you may as well begin on your own, continue on your own and end on your own taking clues from life as you experience it, rather than attempting to emulate and follow gurus.


It seems, the brilliance is inherit in any individual way...
