How Would You Live If You Were Awakened?

[Ether]

I would probably have the same life, only that I would enjoy it to the fullest.

Playing videogames...to the fullest.

Enjoying the night...to the fullest.

Making songs...to the fullest.

Being alone...to the fullest.

[Truth]

I wouldn't feel like I'm not living to the fullest

Well, are you feeling all the emotions to the fullest you can feel?

Well, not sure if I'm ready to become homeless, live under a bridge and all that, but I'm thinking about it.

Wherever you go , you will create same troubles around you. Unless you change your mind , your being; nothing is going to change.

But I bet I wont do it so I will suffer in this hell my whole life. And then unfortunately I will get reincarnated for eternity so the suffering will go on and on for eternity. Somebody stop the shit, thanks.

Do you really think one day enlightenment is going to suddently come up in yourself without making any changes to your life? Enlightenment is a progress and you need to put in effort to change things.

Don't look for peace in the outcome of a possible future. 
Look for it in the midst of hell. If you can find it there, you can find it everywhere.
Your job has nothing to do with your suffering. It's really important to understand that. To really be free of that belief.

And also I bet I wont get enlightened anyway, almost nobody gets it. 

It's not that black and white. Even though I might not be enlightened (yet), I'm a million times more happy than I was this time last year. That in itself has already been more than worth it.

@Ether @Truth @Mikael89 @Prabhaker @DoubleYou Check out the book ‘one thousand names for joy’ where Byron Katie describes her day to day experiences as an enlightened person. It’s amazing!

I never said that..

Such a radical thing as quitting my job definitely has the risk of my life getting ruined, it's already ruined but it can always get worse.

And also I bet I wont get enlightened anyway, almost nobody gets it. 

Well, you got to take radical risks in life. You dont got to do it now, but do it one day

This is escapism because now you are not doing anything else. You are dropping all your responsibilities. One hour of meditation is enough. It will illuminate your whole life. When you meditate and you go to job, you will know whether you are succeeding in your meditation or not. Do you still get angry when somebody says something against you? Can people still manage to push your buttons as easily as before? In the market-place is the test of all your meditations.

Being either fully immersed in what i'm doing, or acting fully from the observers' view.

Doing your desires right now, is my third year now, growing every day while Hermiting at what i please

The only effort is: Chaos, Confusion, goes into Stabillity and rewind. Every day is different if you grow, every day is confusion if you grow, and at the end of the day everything makes more sense and clearer.
