Anyone who is enlightened will say the same, no feedback is required for enlightenment. To say you disagree with this fact is to say that enlightenment is not about truth realisation, but something else. You cannot undo truth realisation. I don't see anywhere, ken wilber, disagreeing with this fact in the video.

There is no universe, only a dream

If someone is guinely enlightened, they won't REALLY need any feedback to confirm their enlightenment. It doesn't work like that. Truth is truth. Once you fully grasp it, it's done

If actor dies in a movie, it's physical death. If the actor realises it's just an actor. It's enlightenment.

If you have time, yes. If you have responsibilities, no. A serious seeker won't ask this question because they don't really have a choice.

Whatever fits your life situation. Just understand this, serious pursuit of enlightenment will take a lot of time

@Rilles Hey, if you are just curious, just read some western philosophy. Nothing is wrong in exploring. The problem is when someone thinks that they NEED to read a lot of western philosophy to get enlightened or whatever. I think you already know this

You don't need to. Just watch some videos or read something about metaphysics or epistemology. You need to get the questions right. Reading philosophy will only give you other people's ideas on the questions, which could help I guess intially. If you are fimilar with non duality, you should contemplate those questions yourself

@Shanmugam I'm good

@Shanmugam Nice, it is actually better to call the dream and identifications as illusion than falsehood. Falsehood never existed because it was illusion all along. Truth is all that is. It is only a matter of seeing. Much love brother, how r ya

The destination cannot be communicated but the path can be communicated

@Stoica Doru After enlightenment, you can say whatever you want. Internally you know that no one is enlightened. If someone claims they are enlightened, it doesn't mean they are not "enlightened".

@Sashaj Typical self inquiry meditation includes just asking who am I, but that's just how it starts.You must combine it with spiritual autolysis. You must ask yourself, where do I feel mostly strongly? What am I attached to the most? Why do I think this is real? What are the things, that, without them I can't exist? What are the experiences in "my past" that are something I consider valuable or noxious? Who am I before I was born? How do I make myself or my life story real? How do I know what I know about the world is real, or any metaphysical question?. Anyway those are some of the questions I asked myself I suggest you read a bit of good spiritual books ( my fav - jed McKenna, Peter Ralston and ug Krishnamurti) and some philosophy and psychology along with the practices

@Artaemis i highly doubt it. Meditation with ruthless self enquiry and spiritual autolysis is the method I like

@SoonHei As far as emotional development and human maturity are concerned, they are largely unrelated to enlightenment. Enlightenment can ofcourse help a lot so these two areas can be taken to a next level. Spiritual seeking happens because we want to realise our true nature. What stands in the way is our personal identity and beliefs which makes us perceive seperateness where there is oneness. True Spiritual seeking is more of an effort of burning down falsehood, as falsehood never existed in the first place. Enlightenment is more like untruth unrealisation than truth realisation. You don't really get a glimpse of truth, but a glimpse of un - untruth. That's why embodying your glimpses is not exactly how it works in the long run. Seeking ends because there is nothing more to seek. Truth was always there, and untruth has been realised as a story you bought into.

There is no 7, enlightenment is realising the ultimate truth, to say that there are higher stages is to say that there are multiple ultimate truths. Emotional development and human maturity is something you can work on even after enlightenment. But enlightenment ends the spiritual seeking.

@Galyna Nobody is immune to criticisms.

These are actually good practices. Nice

That's the writing process in enlightenment work. I don't think it's the same thing as what I am talking about here. It's more like as new ideas come to you, and they are fully expressed, they become fully understood and integrated into your working knowledge. I am surprised just because of this reason, how teachers are able to teach the same things over and over for years. They must really love teaching and the subject.

Yeah, I don't really pre plan anything, I have a general idea of what I am going to write, but that's it. After that, it just flows out.

@Jed Vassallo from an truth's perspective, nothing happens. Enlightened people generally say they have achieved nothing by enlightenment, and it means just this. Be careful about saying there is no free will. You have will, but it's not free.

I always feel that way when I write something big. It's actually best to write out your thoughts and get it out of your system, the more you do this, the more you'll stop feeling a need to talk about that specific topic. It's actually really interesting.

Headlessness is the new enlightenment

Exactly

@MiracleMan the dream ego is trying to kill itself to realise life is a dream and it doesn't exist. There is no contradiction. Before enlightenment, your in the dream. After enlightenment, your out of the dream. Then ego is not identified with, and just seen as dream stuff.
