What Happens After Enlightenment? (doku)

[Ludwig]

This video was somewhat interesting (watched about 1 hour until I decided it was a bit too nonsensical to keep watching... though I did have my doubts even earlier). The problem I have with it is that he is so entrenched in dogmatic thinking towards what enlightenment is that he's trying to give too much meaning to each experience he has (the kestrel, the desert, becoming a spiritual teacher, etc.). He claims to be enlightened, and maybe he is, but things like construing what's happening in his life with stories about what he believes his past life is just his mind playing with itself. Enlightenment is about truth and, quite frankly, I don't think he's realized that. And just the fact that he has a bunch of gates (steps) that he thinks are the path to being fully awake seems a bit naive... There is no 1 to 2 to 3; there is no path.

if he think he's happy wrapped in his own delusion that's fine, preaching more nonsense to others is just leading people further down the rabbit hole.
