Can you trick yourself into awakening, and actually have one?

[StateOfMind]

Can you have an awakening by tricking yourself that you're in that awakening moment like if just imagine what it must be like and just encourage any feelings that arise until you find yourself actually in that state?

[The Buddha]

The main problem is that all the ideas you can have about awakening are not like an actual awakening. The same way all ideas you can have about chocolate are not like the whole experience of eating chocolate. You need to understand that the idea of what you are searching is not what it is in reality. Basically because awakening it's outside all dualistic notions.

well you cant trick yourself if you know you are tricking yourself.
