I experienced enlightenment today

[EvilAngel]

I was watching Leo's 'spiritual enlightenment - the most shocking truth' and it actually hit home this time. There is no anger or sadness. Instead there is a comfort in knowing that there is no 'me'. I can finally relax, or should I say 'there is relaxation'. All my 'problems' stemmed from a mind-made construction. 

I'm sure the ego will come back to haunt me in various guises, but I have at least had a glimpse of 'no-thingness' and even as my fingers type this, there is no 'me' controlling the input. 

It's such a simple and obvious, yet profound truth. And I actually experienced it today. Pretty cool. ?

You talk about it as in it's in the past, but you just said that as of now no one is writting. ?

There has to be reference to past and future in temporal existence.

You talk about it like it was a one off type deal, isn't enlightenment supposed to last until the body dies? I mean congrats on having that experience, that sound fucking awesome, but do you truly think you've become fully enlightened?

Like I said, the ego will come back to haunt me, but yes I have had an enlightening experience thanks to Leo's video and the insight I have gained will not leave me. I will still wake up in the morning with an ego that is worried about what people think of it etc. but I can now see it for what it is.

I've been doing mindfulness classes led by a Buddhist monk, meditating every day for 7 months, and spending a hell of a lot of time on my own. In addition to that, I've been eating healthy, exercising and avoiding addictions.

Jealousy, the shadow of greed, that is.

[Hellspeed]

That is not enlightenment. 

The realization of how reality works are just the first steps into the awakening.

I would be jealous if he had 1 million in the bank that's true. Sue me. I want to live an abundant life. I am not jealous of delusions
