Any real awakened human being can sing professionally ;) 

Because the harmony of the chakras will make you want automatically sing of joy.

It's ok. Just for the record I never offer an insight. I learned this from a book. I try not to offer my opinion when it comes to talking non duality 

I admire your sincerity. I myself only speak from personal experience. Otherwise, I will not be posting.

@Etagnwo Okay then. Will keep that in mind.

@Ether PS : I'm a lady, but since I'm pretty gay, I'll accept your girlfriend analogy. :P. That will be a new adultery story to fantasize at night.

@Quanty Huh, I am actually becoming a better singer these days. Holy crap, man! I'm becoming enlightened! B|.

@WaterfallMachine When you are shown the true nature of God / Infinity / the absolute  and have become it. If you have, you know when others have as well. But it is not the final step. Also, just as it's something one could attain, it is something one can loose if one isn't humbled. There are those who are awakened but go astray afterwards and loose it all.

It would be boring to say: "I finally get it, I know everything hahaha".

Never ends in my experience and opinion, the growth and awareness expand every day if you let it.

I can get why I could tell others may be enlightened. The deeper I go in self inquiry, the more I seem to be getting an intuition about people other that are way too detailed to be just coincidence. What is the final step then? Is it possible for me to know?

True. True.

@WaterfallMachine It is true, the more you know about your self, the more your intuition becomes heightened. Accept the nonexistence of your physical self. Meditate on it.

As it is inscribed on the temple of Delphi “Know thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and God.”

That's good to know :)

However (maybe this is a point for another thread) how can you be sure that your are interpreting your experience correctly? I hope you have the aid of some kind of teaching? I know you did read something. 

Yes, I put pieces together from my ex Christian life, the Bible, and general knowledge. But I could only figure it out using the Breath. Before using the breath consciously, I had no idea :) And I was addicted to information and books. Only when I skipped all the knowledge, let go everything I knew, only then it hit me. So one can spend a lifetime reading the very good material, if one does not tap into breath, the knowledge is useless ;)

There are a lot of signs actually. I feeling that you know everything there is to know. A permanent shift in experience. Living in Absolute Nothingness. Unable to locate your 'self'. Complete disidentification from thoughts. The biggest one is the quest for enlightenment disappears.

I go in this thread about post enlightenment observations, hopefully its of help, check the last post too for more observations :)

Subject object duality changes and it doesn't feel like here I am looking out this room, but rather it's all just showing up without any centrum to the experience.

Huge drop in self referential thoughts, and in general thinking becomes quieter, less verbalised, and much smaller part of an overall experience.
