If people don't care about Awakening why are Buddha, Krishna, and Christ popular?

I don't know, I is the biggest illusion

Why is "I" an illusion? Who told you this? Do you truly know what you are talking about.

It's easy to conflate terminology that point to territory that hasn't been explored or studied. Like confusing the menu with the meal.

We as body and mind or universe are just a temporary reflection.

Definetely silence not as answer

I honestly can't fathom how one realizes Infinity and silence to end up picking thoughtlessness/silence as the ultimate. It doesn't compute.

If you mean that after all, silence is all that remains because what else is there to communicate, that's another thing. But to claim silence as the Absolute for me it's absurd.

I am just saying that Truth can not be experienced, known, felt, learned etc... one can only Be. Because, those are just functions as organism.

Why would you put such limits onto reality?

At every level one can realize truth: in the being dimension, in the experience dimension, in the understanding dimension, in the feeling dimension...

Limits are belongs to reality, There is Nothing there within the Truth. Empty, Still, Silence and Being.

You cannot reduce down Truth, Infinity and Consciousness to silence, emptiness or stillness.

When all these religions were founded humans were much less materialistic, capitalistic, pop-cultural. There was little to do other than God, family, and farming.

I'm in a phase where a simple life of God, family, and farming are becoming really appealing.

I don't. 

Infinite, consciousness or any experience is the gift of the Truth, however it is temporary. 

However, Stillness, emptiness and Nothingness is what We really are. Our true nature.

So you value more locked states of consciousness more than peak states?

Although I don't see how stillness/emptiness/nothingness is always present and not subject to temporality? It's not like consciousness which can be always spotted and present, which is life itself.

What is your present experience right now? could you tell me honestly?

I am just saying what is Truth. Moreover, having a hand and writing throughout on the forum to you is the one of the biggest peak state for me.

Obvious, silence, emptiness and stillness are límited, then finite. 

Silence, emptiness and stillness are conditions that supposedly promote that we can transcend the human condition and open ourselves to the absolute, but in themselves they are nothing special. Furthermore, it doesn't have to be that way, the opening to the absolute could happen in the middle of a battle with bombs exploding around you and dying people screaming, and never in a monastery in silence and stillness.

I see it in a similar way as well

For me they are permutations that happen within the Infinite possibility Space of Reality
