Sharing enlightenment

3 posts in this topic

Hi, maybe I'm not the first to have the idea but its worth a try.

I wanted to start a thread where we share our enlightenment experiences with each other in order to learn and just for curiosity sake :)

My experiences listed by chronological order:

1. I was sitting under a tree at the back of my mothers house. The tree had red leaves. It happened gradually: A weird feeling creeped up. A feeling that deep down I truly know who I am and am just putting on a mask. We are all players in a grand game and our personalities are nothing but masks.

2. I was peeling potatoes and an insight hit me: "sometimes in life the most important thing to do is to peel potatoes". It meant to me that happiness is to be found not in a future which is yet to come, but in the moment. 

3.During one of my psychotic episodes I pressed my arms against each other and asked myself: 'How is it that my hand dose not go through?' I thought of physics and of the electromagnetic forces in between them but still this did not satisfy an answer. Then in what seemed like a blink of an eye I got it: Things are the way they are because it is the most perfect way.. And that is why my hand dose not go through the other hand.

4.I went to a spring near where I live. It was morning and the atmosphere was so nice. I sat with my guitar and then I knew that in about 3 seconds I'm about to have a huge insight. This is the biggest of my awakenings yet and what I realize was that god exists(only later have I come to recognize god as my true self). The exact words which went through my mind where: Who else?

5.The Nothingness awakening: It was very simple, a spiritual guide came to me(I have imagined him it helped me a lot) and just stated: you know what that is? It actually is just nothing. I know it sounds silly but that got me to realize what Nothingness is.

Here I want to add that the "No self" was not an awakening but rather a gradual dissipation for me so I do not list that here.

6. My final awakening cannot be put into words as I myself cannot make sense of it yet. When (and if) I can ill be happy to share it :)

Have an awesome weekend and enjoy life!

Daniel.
