Thoughts About Enlightenement

[Mppdidi]

Hey everybody,

 

i thought about enlightement and that it is attributed to be rare ( 1% of 1% of 1%...). Then i realized that looking back this has been the case for all human concepts.  When the first car or the first phone was built they were considered 'rare'. Nowadays these things are considered 'normal' for the masses. So the believe of the elitarian concept of enlightment makes is wat it makes it rare, until more and more people built it up by themselves. I thought to share this to benefit our daily relationinship with this term.

 

All the best

I actually think that in the next 100 years things like meditation, mindfulness work and through that also enlightenment work will get way more normal and things to do. Mainly because the whole health sector has understood in the last 10 years that meditation really works and can change the whole outlook of your health and life and so nowadays there are so many studies looking into this.

Also, if you look at physics, they get more and more they notion that everything is interrelated with everything else and that this universe isn't so deterministic as one thought maybe 70 years ago. If you look deep enough into atoms and stuff, the fact that you are looking at it changes the thing itself.

So, with that in mind and a western society that gets more individualistic and open, I think that these things don't need long any more to integrate fully in the western lifestyle.

We'll see.
