what enlightenment really feels like?

[snowleopard]

@Patang  I wonder, would the dispelling of irritable 'self-identification' syndrome also be relevant to the topic 'What enlightenment feels like?'  I'd at least hope that that could be disposed of

@SOUL Or many ways that the infinite expresses as 'you' ... maybe the same diff

Of course...sometimes even a snowleopard.

@snowleopard enlightenment is not related to self-identification, because there is no self to identified with in the first place.

Is this what it feels like to be on display on a stage -- or in a cage --- for a bunch of bored popcorn munchers to get their kicks?

For an illusion it's full of flavor and quite filling!

You can't miss it. There's plenty of appreciation to go around, and you'll find the same warped sense of humor everywhere you look.

That’s just your defense mechanism to accepting reality as it is.  Enlightenment would probably bore you to tears.  You use your humor like a drug in the same way that some of us use Philosophy.  It’s a way for you to avoid the void.  You need to accept that void — and reside in that void.  That doesn’t mean you’ll lose your humor, you’ll just become less neurotic about it.  It won’t serve as an Ego defense-mechanism for you anymore. Sound good?

@SOUL We all love popcorn content. Reality is infinite so that bucket refills itself endlessly as you eat. 

When you think about it, this forum is a lot like a empty bucket and the members are the popcorn. See how it refills itself?

No he said " And then, popcorn will be created, and all of your reincarnation will be crunchy"
