The Illusion Of The Spiritual Heroin Junkie

[Dodo]

This video illustrates the deeper truth of awareness - imo watching this should give an awakening on the level of mind at the very least. Continue your practices and enjoy!

Namaste fellow spiritual junkies ?

@Dodo I got off spirituality and am now addicted to personal development practice, not theory.  Spirituality is a molehill compared to the mountain of personal development.  Separates the men from the boys.

Somehow you took the words right out of my mouth. Maybe a lot many don't agree and it doesn't sit right with a lot of people out there because it's so conflicting with their inner desire for utopia, it's just gets harder to accept. But when you do some inner work, you probably realize through self honesty that you had a big mountain to climb. It's just that you missed the mountain all along and now when you see it, it's so difficult to accept it. It clashes with the truth of truths. Ultimately what clashes with your mind is the unbearable truth the Ego of egos never wanted to accept. With that statement you managed to break the illusion of illusions.

One can be enlightened and not spiritual (most are).  But why.. Spirituality is fun :-D

Did you see in Bentinho's drawing, spirituality was written out as the infinity symbol... For me you need spirituality to realise you are enlightened and for that to make sense on a deep experiential level.

You said experiential. But you forgot one word - existential. Spirituality is fun. Spirituality is the basis of everything. But everything is not spirituality. It's one thing to be spiritual, it's another  thing to be a spiritual junkie. It's one thing to run on the treadmill, it's another thing to be a marathon runner.

Overcoming physical death and not being spiritual? I'm not sure these people you speak of are enlightened.

I don't know. What is enlightenment but end of suffering by knowing your true nature? The rest is dream, be it "physical" or beyond.

Yeah exactly, you'll really grasp the illusory nature by physically dying. By realizing that every breath you inhale is contributing to that illusion of life. That's as spiritual as it can get for me hehe.
