The most "Enlightened" part of "my Enlightenment" 1

The social media are buzzing with how "enlightened" people feel they are.
The one thing most enlightened about me, is the lifting of the burden of life that I carry in everyday life. By years of confrontations with the ghosts of the past in meditation, I have overcome the past and now havent as much "gotten over" my issues but I've gotten on top of them, as king of my hill.
I am morbidly obese, I was deeply ashamed about my body and how others felt about it so much that I just wanted to crawl under a rock and die.
"Nay!" said my Spirit Guide "You will buy swim trunks and will go swimming twice a week and make seaworld-sized splashdives like only a sumo sized man can, and people will LOVE and RESPECT you for it and not feel as bad about their own bodies, their wrinkle, their mole, their missing leg even, through your Courage. Be A Hero."
I gathered courage, bought swim trunks and went, and I smashed my body dysmorphic and social anxiety to 1000 pieces, I get respect and appreciation from all sides, it is really super awesome and validating. It vindicates the years that I was crushed by an abusive environment.
Whats ENLIGHTENED about me is that my burden of life is greatly lessened, and I will tell you exactly how to do it: CONFRONT YOUR WORST FEARS as long as it can be done safely and without violating yourself or others. It doesn't even have to appear sane, the courageous have right of way.
You face an overwhelming army of Orcs: those of your fears, your doubts, your pains of past, the ugly things people said and hurt you with, the abuse you underwent that never stopped diminishing your numbers compared to those of the Orc army of your Inner Demons!
DEFEAT YOUR INNER DEMONS!
CONFRONT THEM!
TO ARMS!

It's not so easy for young men to just overcome the obstacles before them.
Such a call and thread must rely on the help of angels, who are the savior of humanity.

I always say anyone openly claiming any sort of enlightenment is fooling themselves first, and you second if you just blindingly assume they know what they know (yes I'm annoying AF) lol.
What was that Bukowski piece, "The Genius of The Crowd?" Beware of those who preach love, peace, and God, for they need those things the most...
Social media and "influencers" are the worst IMHO. The majority of basic human interaction is people unconsciously projecting their insecurities through language and behavioral choices. Look at what I like, wear, think, etc. We're walking, talking, "sub"conscious machines. Nothing wrong with this just an observation.

I am fat. Even skinny I was very sexually insecure at times. Being on meds and having a diagnosis sorta invalidates me. Yet it affords me change.
I've seen spirits in lower realms constantly for 15 years. I looked for them when I was 4. Last night I realized I mostly interact with the spirits that were alive. These are pretty damn dumb spirits, rarely are they good and smart. It's not the level I want to be. It's a level I am growing out of where spirits want power for wordly effect. That is insanity to me, not that this existence doesn't need medicinal change and direction. An ego will always devalue and derail good intentions, lacking proper forsight.
There is greater spirit that touches us and that always can be ecstasy. Call it tao, it changes what or who it touches. The forgiveness, the grace, yet hard to find.
The most dangerous thing I fear in life, is the rituals and limited thinking. There is comfort in doing routine, but the mystical is always unexpected and totally new. Ritual creates a lot of social divide because it is meant to be culturally unifying. No different with drugs of any culture.
The only way I'll ever overcome madness is to be a saint. No idea how to do that as grace cannot be forced. Perhaps newer life times but I'd hate to relive this life. To be born like this again would be just as complicated.

Why would you invalidate yourself for being human?

Not to hijack the thread. But it does. People gaslight someone with a diagnosis constantly. Even the medical professionals. All is assumed to be a symptom. In fact they reffered to disabled people as invalids.
Organized religion might be bad enough, but organized mental health is far worse.
