For those who would argue that "If I was enlightened, I would be aware of it, I would see everything as me, everything would be spacious blablabla"

NO !

This is not how it works, and this is why past and future are an illusion too.
There is nothing outside of the present moment, except that you've never been there before ...

All the meditations, retreats, whatever you've done, you've never been in the present,
Because if you did, you would had an enlightenement/awakening experience already.

Do you realize what that mean ?
That means everytime you meditate, or be mindful, you're not present.
You don't, you think you do, because there is no thoughts, nothing, but even there your mind is running the show ...

It is still there, inconsciously trying to get "there".
Even when you're very "present", there is still a tiny bit of it, seeking, or manipulating your experiences.

 

SO HOW DO YOU DO IT ???!!!

 

If the tail of the comet decides it wants to become the comet, it would fail. Only the comet is the comet. 

The tail could be approximately at the same location as the comet,  but will never reach it.

So I agree that we as entities with stories and futures are never in the present. The mind create past and future in order to have some reference and continuity. The room of the Ego.

While the present moment is always fresh, empty and infinite - thats why the mind cannot recognise it and abide in it. The moment it is recognised it is already a memory and not it.

All physical sensing and interpretations are in the past, because it takes time for the brain to interpret a stimulus or to create a thought.

Unexplainable knowing has no time dimensionality to it. Much like intuition and telepathy.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Seems like the only thing there is to do is to have faith and ask silently what we are until we know.

I don't care anymore, if I have to sit all day doing nothing, so be it.

@electroBeam Don't worry, it has nothing to do with my level of happiness/peace, I'm just being pulled by it, and there is nothing else that feels interesting enough to pursue than this anymore

Dude just enjoy life.

Be in the present 24/7 and love it.

*if i have to sit all day doing nothing, so be it*

You dont have to do anything.

The only reason why one thinks hes not happy, is because he thinks it.

Fuck enlightenment and enjoy life!

 

You know, i watch my uni friends, laughing, cruising through life, not worrying about anything. And sometimes i think they are more happy than all of us so called *spiritual* people on here.

THey could well have a lot of highs, but for one, they are conditional. And it's still uni, they havent graduated to life yet lol

Just Be, nothing really matters. Everything is made for fun, there is no real goal or point because behind everything else your all already enlightened you've just forgotten and you'll remember in oneness again when this life is over so who cares, Enjoy being limited while it lasts because your unlimited form is eternal.
