Someone becoming 'too' enlightened

Pretty interesting video. Is this a good example of somebody half-assing enlightenment?

I don’t think he’s intentionally half-assing enlightenment, it’s just that he found self-realisation as pure consciousness but didn’t go any further in terms of contemplation and implementation of it. I think that if he’d find someone who he could relate to and who shows him more about it, he’d surely go deeper into it.

EDIT: But it’s always hard to tell from short excerpts like this one. Maybe there’s a lot more he’d have to tell about enlightenment and non-duality if he felt like it’d be received properly by people. So I wouldn’t judge him about that too quickly.

He does not realize that he contradicts himself. 

He realized that all worries are unnecessary and still, he worries about his interactions with people. 

He realized his existential nature and still, he wants to go back to the illusion. It's like pondering solipsism for the first time. You want to go back to the "healthier" belief. 

@Leo Gura Are you trolling rn or just being authentic in a weird way xD

 


Spirituality is any movement towards the Unnamable. Everything is spiritual.

The only true way out Resistance is going into it because any way out of it is staying in it.

The purest life possible is surrendering to the Absolute.

@DocHoliday Ye exactly, assumptions arise real quick from such a short video.

But ey, seems like if he was in the right environment and had some people around him, he could get some profound realisations. It seems like his life situation is just limiting him from looking deeper on what's really going on, which is a shame.

One’s center is not one’s center, it is the center of the whole. 

And the ego-center is one’s center.

That is the only difference, but that is a vast difference.-

A superposition of both ;)

@Leo Gura Gotcha! xD

Oh no, there is no Leo that could troll us... and simultaneously there is. 

So it's a non-dual superposition of two non-dual states.
