What does it mean that Enlightenment has infinite depth?

@Leo Gura Isnt Enlightenment "raw reality"? How can "you" then become sort of more infinite than all of reality itself?

Enlightenment has infinite depth because God is always one step infront of appearances.


Mind over Matter, Awareness over Mind

@Alien You answered your own question.

If enlightenment is raw reality, and reality is infinite, well... there you have it. You can keep exploring it forever.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

You can live countless lives.  Experience paradoxes or impossibilities, or even be annihilated and become oblivion itself.  

It's really quite something worthy of the most intense astonishment.

Enlightenment is both easy and complex at the same time.  It’s easy in the sense that once you know what you’re looking for and why, you just become the keen Watcher in the present moment.  It’s hard in the sense that you don’t get to that place overnight and you have to learn about a lot of Egoic traps — not only from a theoretical perspective, but also by becoming mindful of how those play out in your own life.  It’s not that Enlightened people have no Ego — it’s just that they understand it so well and notice it so well in their own lives that they can frequently detach from it.  But that takes a long time of theory and observation to master!  But the idea of becoming the Watcher is very simple, right?  It’s just mindfulness of reality in the present moment.  You’re not gonna be the keen Watcher at first, you’ll be the baby Watcher.  This explains why the paradox that one must both seek and not seek Enlightenment is true.  And it also explains why meditation and mindfulness are so important in this work.  But you also need to accumulate YOUR OWN knowledge about how the Ego works that you’re building up your whole life-long.  That knowledge and mindfulness synergize and have a nice baby which then causes the industrious person who walks this path more and more Enlightenment over time.  That’s a description of how Enlightenment works from a big-picture, humanist standpoint.
