You'll have to be more specific lol, I know a lot of things, I wouldn't know where to start from, or what you might be more interested in knowing.

jee, what a bunch of bullshit people often sling to each other on this forum lol. It often gets into a back and forth of mental gymnastics, trying to disprove others using a rather arbitrary point of view

^THIS! its becoming more and more frequent unfortunately. Good threads being ruined cause we love splitting metaphysical hairs and not see the whole picture

[LfcCharlie4]

Good work bro, glad to hear you're happy. 

Enjoy this incarnation, while it lasts

You have to admit though, there's something pretty damn fishy, something slightly dishonest and not very humble about saying "alright folks, I'm enlightened, ask me whatever you want". Naturally one would question this claim. The discussion was rather unnecessary, you're right. I'm somewhat guilty of that, too.

That thread is so hilarious; being a guru is super easy nowadays.

I’m really not joking and totally not sarcastic. 

I’m the only enlightened person here by the way.

I wanted a non-dual cliché answer. Now I'm sad

@Arzack ❤

Yes Samadhi(Enlightenment) is the stilling of the whirlwind of mind. 

It's a clear snapshot at the suffering and illusion that identification with constant thought causes.

The identification of the 'self' becomes loosened. The constant mind chatter lessons because it's not being entertained the way it was before. It dies down greatly.

It's easy to notice people running around in the rat race in full mind identification.... they may not even appear to be suffering, but they are definitely not free.

More things can become evident but it's not anything that isn't already the case now. ?

 

 

[Dodo]

ok, Can you be enlightened since yesterday?

Isn't part of realisation that you were never not enlightened, but identify with something you are not? 

 

If we are all this moment, how come your body is claiming enlightenment to other bodies who refer to the same I (the now awareness) ?

Why do you think helping others to become enlightened is a good thing? There are so many good things one could do. Why this?

It is the best one

[Arzack]

Just now, datamonster said:

Yeah, but why? I would like to understand how your enlightenment has affected you motivations...

Bro, why you do create an "ask me anything" thread, if you don't even want to respond to questions properly? What a waste of time...

I answer properly, ask me anything.

My motivation is helping other people, before enlightenment it was too. But also to help myself so I could help others.

[Arcangelo]

I was enlightened for about a week.

You don't need it to walk from pole to pole to believe the earth is round.

And what does that have to do with reincarnation?  I asked you how do you know reincarnation is real.. You said you read about it in "spiritual material"..that's like a Christian saying hell is real because it is written in the Bible!

[wavydude]

@Arzack  What are good ways to dissolve negative thoughts towards people who done us wrong ?

forgive them, it wasn't their fault

and it's not your fault if you have negative thoughts towards them

it's nobody's fault

God made us evil, it's his fault, don't feel guilty

Brother i dont want to say this but you are not awake. When you realize this you are awake, because there is no you. Entire duality or universe is just a thought that you have learned. Thoughts created you.

 

[James123]

Nothing never happened, because you are nothing. Only happening is nothing, which is you, moment.  Therefore nothing can never happen. 

[Someone here]

@Arzack I will just assume you have no idea what you are talking about reincarnation and just parroting Buddhist beliefs.
