Video Of Woman Becoming Enlightened (real Time)

[QandC]

Here's a video of a woman becoming enlightened by following a spiritual guru's words... It's quite remarkable to see how it happens and what her reaction is.

@Khin Well what?

[ProblemSolving]

It is just my opinion, but this rather looks like hysterical laughter.

@Quizzer oh! Ummmm.... looks like she is having hard time in her life.

She makes it look so easy ?

You all will have to forgive me because I know this won't be a popular opinion here, but this strikes me as not much different than the types of things I witnessed all the time growing up in Southern Baptist and Pentecostal churches. Only with a guru instead of a preacher. Just a bunch of mind-fuckery. You've spent months/years building yourself up to this point, then go on a guided exercise lead by an authority figure whom you trust which you expect to have a certain outcome (in front of a crowd who also expects the same outcome no less), and what do ya know, outcome achieved. Call me crazy but this looks no different than someone being "saved".

 

Maybe that's the point though and I'm denying it? That these experiences really are the same (or similar) but there's different ways to get there? Different access ports to the same knowledge so to speak. The thing is, I would venture an estimate that something like 1% of those people I saw "saved" actually remained in that state for any length of time. Hell even my grandpa and uncle who were preachers for their entire lives and theoretically should have been the most enlightened of the bunch were just regular people. Caring, compassionate men, sure. "Enlightened", though? Not a chance.

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known.” ~Corinthians 13

Exactly, there is a huge difference between having an emotional "experience" and actually changing and improving who you are at a base level, that gives you an expansion of practical application.

I can create bliss and euphoria all I want, but I don't use that to gauge progress. It's about how have you changed when your calm and back to base-line and is that change progressive? What's been added on to who you are? Has your sensitivity changed? Can you hold more dimensions within your focus? Has your pacing changed? How have the structures inside you shifted (once you're sensitive enough to even feel such things)? How has your resiliency improved?

Changes in Health, Connection, Capability, Expression, and Choice. Not how "high" you're getting in a single moment.

the environment can create a consensus mindset (hello society, how are ya?) on a micro and macro level. people being "saved" could be coaxed, someone bursting into laughter because they're in the middle of full blown insight? could be coaxed as well. who knows, at the end of the day they're both just experiences. they come and they go. can discuss their staying power like @Salaam  was saying.

Either way its funny/entertaining/weird/awesome/inspiring ect. ect. all that good stuff  or bad stuff, its up to you really

@ChimpBrain Im sure there are people who are enlightened who do not even know what it is or have a term for it. They might as well be it and take it for granted. My Grandfather was a religious person for a very long time but i realized after some time in his life He stopped going to church and also does not like to be interuppted by people too much. He is a wise person and does not speak very often(He answers your questions by making you figure it out for yourself in a way). He usually sits on his porch for hours and stares into his Garden. The last time I saw him I could feel his presence. Anyhow this might be a misconception but im pretty convinced he is enlightened without knowing it.

@ChimpBrain I agree... if they would actually experience true enlightenment and non-duality they would have been shit scared. Or at least that's how my experience was at first. It was insane, and not euphoric at all

[ChimpBrain]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I expected to get flamed and told I'm just too low in the stages of development to "get it" or something along those lines. I now understand better than I did before, and also found a Ken Wilber video in another thread I'm working my way through right now that deals with this same topic.

Wow, inspirational

that probably wasnt enlightenment experience. there wouldnt have been anything to be "shit scared". in full acceptance of reality theres nothing that can "be" scary  this is a theoretical guess of course
