I think you missed the point red. But that depends on whether 'you' dissolved with your perception or not.
The relative and the absolute, are two sides of the same coin.
Maybe you just got excited, did your near enemy catch you?

I feel no pain and will be nice to the monkey, when he stops grasping at my nuts. Now be a good monkey and let go. 
Or i will have no other option than to to openly urinate in your face.

temper, temper you have to be nice to your own monkey, silly a big error is to consider this problem as outside of yourself, if you pee you have to clean up too, save the expression for a suitable vessel.

En-LIGHTEN-ment remember.
It was a comical expression, did you fail to see the humorous mental imagery? 
There is no error in delighting in humorous banter.
Lord, talk about taking things seriously, i would have used not if i were being serious 
Peace

I suggest you read the post on assumptions. That might clear things up for you nicely .

Great post. 
You can judge enlightenment by how many problems you have in your life. For each one, you're that much farther away from enlightenment. Keep your intent focused on perfection, because that truly is the goal.

what roll do you think psychedelics can play in enlightenment?
buddha said "I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment". what exactly is meant by this? i understand that enlightenment is already there and realizing it is realizing there is nothing to realize but couldn't the elimination of the obstructions to enlightenment be considered gain? why teach enlightenment if there is nothing to be gained from it? why is there buddhism?

Buddhism presents methods for removing the mud from our diamond mind. You gain nothing, but realize everything.
