You Cannot Use Your Ideas About Enlightenment To Achieve it.

[Parki]

When I say “green” you understand what I am talking about,
because it’s grounded in direct experience(in fact there is no such a thing as “direct experience”,
there is only experience, you cannot have an experience somehow not directly.
It’s just a catchy word, but it’s catchy, so I gonna use it.)

So I can use words to point to real things.
For example I could ask you to fetch me a green mug, 
and you will be able to do that.

Point is that you can use you mental concepts to interact with reality,
if they are grounded in direct experience only.
Otherwise you can’t.
Not because I am telling you, just what you are going to interact with?

Words are pointers, they do nothing, but pointing to other things.
So without the thing they are pointing to they stop making any sense.

So what the word enlightenment is pointing to?

If not direct experience, how the hell are you going to use it to get it?
It’s not like you cannot use words in order to get it,
is that what is that “it” what you looking for?

Originally I wanted to created a topic here, but I find it so good, so made a post from that.
