ARON:

I am at that stage where the light can seen for moments and then the fog takes over but not for too long. The road ahead is becoming more visible and the destination is in sight! I’m goint towards enlightenment.

DVORAHJI:

it is mumbo jumbo bliss….and it’s great! It’s just that you have this “expectation” of what enlightenment is. You think that’s it’s “AH-HUH and then you’re enlightened”…Enlightenme

nt is a JOKE…honestly there is no such thing,,,and this illusion that the fog will lift and bliss enlightenment will be there ALL THE TIME (no sufferring, a new house & 77 virgins or something)…it’s a story of the mind…it’s another story. And there is NOT this destination, this final end. (that’s Oprah BS, AH-HUH moments that she’s constantly has & forgets).

How can I say this,,,,,,,,life is a flow oF bliss & everything else..bliss has nothing to do with enlightenment. ENLIGHTENMENT IS ALREADY YOUR NATURE….it’s not a final STROKE OF SOMETHING OR OTHER. IT ISN’T anything and it BRINGS YOU NOTHING…For some reason the search ends and you’re at peace with this mess of good & bad called life…and depending on your dharma or karma or whatever, you may teach “truth” or become a baker or student or bum on the street…But Enlightenment doesn’t bring ANYTHING in life.

You’re NOT getting enlightened…you’re having GREAT AND WONDERFUL AND BLISSFUL EXPERIENCES AND MORE POWER TO YOU BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT TIME WE HAS SOME GREAT EXPEIRENCES INSTEAD OF LOUSY ONES…

And best of all according to Vasistha “Is to be in the company of great sages & Gurus”….When the apple is ripe it falls…and when the seeker is ready (who knows how or why) THE ILLUSION FALLS AWAY and still he keeps searching, thinking he missed something.

I do know that when it’s time, the seeker does NOT GET ENLIGHTENED BUT ILLUSION falls away. And even then, after awhile, the seeker usually gets caught up in “spiritual experiences” that rise up and he/they claim the prize. 

There are so many proclaimed enlightenment teachers now, New age advaitist, yoga master, and yoga teachers & on and on who have claimed the prize, or even “denied” it….and still keep talking ABOUT IT. From my perspective there is NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. 

1. Life is a Happening

2. If It Could be Different It Would Be different

3. Accept life exactly as it shows up

4. Enjoy your experiences and let them come & go no matter how blissful or Enlightened – they never last and are not enlightenment.

4. Enlightenment is your very nature…relax, meditate, inquire whatever…but get your DESIRE OFF THE PRIZE – BECAUSE IT’S WHAT KEEPING YOU IGNORANT.

it must be the way I’m built, that kind of Fire that is my personality……But I’M so tired of seeing so many seekers go to the top, crash to the bottom, go to the top and come crashing again, always feeling dissillusioned that they can’t maintain this “bliss, clarity, vision” WTFEver they think they’ve finally conquered on their way to that precious goal called “enlightenment”.

It’s heartbreaking really to watch people who’ve been meditating for 40 years still living their life without acceptance of WHAT IS because their center, their “clarity/bliss/vision” isn’t there anymore.

Understand that you can do 100 days of enlightenment or 1,000 days of enlightenment and when those 1000 days of enlightenment are over, you’ll probably still get pissed off if your girlfriend leaves you or you lose your job, or get depressed

because bliss just doesn’t last and you’re “just not happy”. 

There is no permanent Bliss state, permanent “enlightened”state. THERE IS ONLY WHAT IS. AND THAT SPACE, THAT OPEN-ENDED VASTNESS IS YOUR NATURE and is the only thing permanent………..everyt

hing else, from bliss to making pop-corn is life’s activity that COMES & GOES!

Anyway, that’s my take on it…you’ll develop your own.
