List people that you suspect are/were enlightened or strongly inspired by the search of truth BUT apparently have NOTHING to do with the "spirituality sector". Maybe they are musicians, painters, filmmakers, scientists, writers or whatever... and somehow pour their realization in a creative way. The people you name should not be historical figuers and possibly alive nowdays. I would name Hayao Miyazaki, Stanley Kubrick, Shinchiro Watanabe to start.

How many trips do you think will be necessary to make you completely established in the nature of the self 24/7? Also, do you feel that you have attained? That there is nothing to discover anymore?

@Aware no discussion can be made from that point of view!

I forget about that! It was a huge one.

Nice, but it seems that you're overthinking and overvaluing the "killing the ego" part, might just be part of the illusion. I advice you being more aware and less serious.

Mine was "If I start some task I MUST finish it, otherwise I'll be miserable". Still working on it.

I recommend to those who have not yet done so to read Vigyana Bhairava Tantra of Osho. It contains a lot of techniques to have a taste of the nature of reality.

But this one is perfectly logical, isn't it?

@Azrael Does your awareness remains steady while you enter sleep after this experience? And what about sleep in general?
