This forum seemed low in consciousness until I compared it with other forums.

@Joseph Maynor If this forum is a prison, is Leo the warden?

I have become so disappointed with this forum lately.

So much ego and herd mentality.

And the best part is that everyone is enlightened, everyone knows what enlightenment is, and yet, no one agrees with the other.

I am not enlightened. I only know a vague concept of enlightenment. I haven't experienced it. I only had a glimpse into it.

Sorry, I should have written: "most members are enlightened, and the rest of them have no sense of humour".

No, we all have to dress up as a sponge! That would be the ultimate expression of our infinite nature.

@Truth Addict  It's the nature of the ego - Truth is so counter intuitive to the Ego.

 I know you know this but just because someone is enlightened doesn't mean they do not have work they can be doing to evolve themselves through the stages to higher levels of consciousness.

I think that includes everyone in the forum, unless Gandhi joined recently

But I think everyone that is here means well, although sometimes the Ego slips in its own devilry here and there in the form of arrogance.

One big thing is that people here who are enlightened, including myself, want so badly to be able to communicate it.

But it just can't be, it really can't.  We can only point to it.

So when we try to get our maps out to point to the territory, people get offended as if they are being schooled and their ego's get hurt.

So I believe there is a chapter/phase the Enlightened being must pass through in which he/she comes to the realization that "wow i have all this friggin' consciousness and no one to share it with, how do I process this and help teach others and give back to humanity in the best possible way, without coming off as arrogant or inauthentic " It's a difficult tightrope to walk

Of course there are some people who literally come on here just to be Devils and they are usually quickly banned and gone pretty fast as they come on wanting to start non-duality wars.

@Shin Can we be apples, not bananas please, I'm allergic. I realize they aren't as funny or phallic, but they are far more spiritual, you see. 

Apples are like gravity... All you need is a little push

@mandyjw But we need the potassium so why don't we just merge the two into a bannapple?

OK that was bad humor.

[now is forever]

@Inliytened1 that was indeed a bannapple joke!

Cool profile picture ❤️

I don't get offended, tell me straight what enlightenment is, I can take it.

A mystical experience is nice, but it does not count as enlightenment, because it's a memory. Enlightenment is being conscious of Truth 24/7.

Are you or anyone here like that?

@CreamCat Or you ever thought that the advanced students just don’t post often because they’re too focused on themselves and their development?

And only the beginners post often because they’re the ones who need the most help?

Maybe the higher the post count, the lower the development?

The forums are a distraction to your development, its like a social media site.

I agree, although this

@Truth Addict You’re right but I just threw that out there out of nowhere
