Ether

@Shin Its not that its perfect. Its that when you are living in the moment you have no thoughts of perfect or imperfect which leaves you in a state of peace and gratitude and when you back in thought, you consideer that perfect.

@cetus56 Fatter buddha probably aint buddha doe. He was slimmer

What was it?

So, we are using words...to explain words, but you say a word, that has a defined meaning, it does not matter the meaning?

what?

Im actually taking a break from this. My mentor said its possible that im over doing it and i listened to him. And funny thing is...when i stopped persuing it...i actually got a new awakening state! Took me 2 months doe

@Neo Yup Just relating my experience!!

@egoless Read the third: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enlightenment

Thoughts is the only thing that causes suffering I have no thoughts about forums. I do what I enjoy

THanks! For some reason i also stop seeking so much. I will add that!

@daniel695 Lol, im with a similiar path! Im also taking anti psycosys medication and im thinking of quitting. Im already on the lowest dose

Well, enlightenment is the absence of suffering. Happiness is the absence of suffering. "Dont believe what I say. Believe your own experience". -Buddhist monk. jk - Me

Nothing is worthy or unworthy.

Thats what i do with accepting my numbness\thoughts.

Happiness

@Faceless Maybe thats a thing i will find, maybe not. I dunno

@Faceless It is usually a gradual process. Cant really control your realizations. This realization that i just said...I didnt control it! #EXPERIENCEGANG

Talking from experience?

We are the ones that persue it

Its about the foundation. The non awakening phase might be the most essencial. Its when you build the new helpful habits. Work now. Enjoy life later

nope haha

@Shin Is it because she is black?

No, i think one of two ways is to accept that craving. There is nothing wrong with desiring anything, its only when we crave it that we suffer. Its only when we think that we must have something in our lives that we suffer, its only when we think when we make a goal that one outcome is better than the other one, that one is good and the other is bad that we suffer. Its ok to desire awakening, just dont do the above!

@Faceless There is nothing wrong with having the desire of being enlightened. Just dont crave it!

@Faceless You. You cant force enlightenment, you need both experience and true knowledge to free yourself. Just live one day at the time. Being aware...
