Random questions about enlightenment

2 posts in this topic

  1. "No self" is not a thing , perception or even an experience. How enlightenment happens then? ( if not directly experienced)
  2. Is "experiencing perceptions" itself another perception?
  3. The problem with observing You with capital Y is you haven't figured out "YOU" yet. Anything you observe as "YOU" is not the real You. 
  4. Reality is a dream. Is it a subjective experience? ( like someone experiences at night) or is it inception like "giant collective dream" ?(where everybody dreaming in a shared/common reality)

Feel free to share your opinions.

Thanks for reading.

You could call it a kind of experience, but like a null experience. The experience of no experience or pure empty consciousness.

It feels a lot like emptiness. It's so empty you cannot even feel it as being empty, because that's still not empty enough.

  1. Is "experiencing perceptions" itself another perception?

"Experience" and "perception" are concepts which are already loaded with a hidden assumption of an experience and an experiencer.

What you have thought of as "experience" your whole life is actually the body of God.

Ultimately experience isn't experience. Experience is an improperly understood BEING. Being is not experienced or perceived. Being just is. You cannot get any more fundamental than Being. You cannot ask, "But who is experiencing Being?" Because at the level of Being there is no who and experience.

You with a capital Y cannot be observed. YOU is! Again, "observation" is a loaded concept which assumes a subject/object duality which is illusory.

Subjective/objective is a duality. We are talking about nonduality here, which means that you cannot ask if it is subjective or objective because there is no difference between anything in nonduality.

What is a dream? A dream is when you think there is a difference between any two things, including the difference between a dream and not-a-dream.

Is there a difference between a kangaroo and a refrigerator? If you said YES, then you're dreaming. You are dreaming that difference! The difference seems "real" precisely because you are dreaming it! A dream is when something, anything, seems "real".

You are even dreaming the difference between "real" and "unreal". There is no such difference unless you dream it.

Absolute Consciousness cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
