My journey to enlightenment

[Theplay]

I began reading Buddhist quotes. It was a time when I was a rock climber that was my thing.

Competing in international competitions and living the sport.

Then I realized the essence of rock climbing.

You go out there to fight with yourself.

So I thought ultimately the Buddha did the same thing. Minus the rock.

That's when enlightenment became my goal.

 One day I went to the water spring near by with my guitar and when I lay down by the water I suddenly got the feeling that something very big is about to be revealed.

There was a countdown feeling.

And then it hit me.

It was not even a split second.

It was instant.

To be honest then I thought it was god.

It took me many more awakenings to see it as myself.

I'm still struggling with solipsism badly.

Because it feels so total.

Like there is nothing outside it.

Now I need to awaken to what other is.

Thank you for reading.

What you describe is an opening. The game is to look for those openings, to do this you have to understand what prevents it and polish it. If you know what you want, your intuition guides you. The goal for me is to achieve these openings on a daily basis and as deeply as possible.

To be a serious climber you need courage, surrender and dedication. for opening too. I think that your path is the best of human paths, the only one in which you completely erase the inherent human dissatisfaction that is the result of the prison of the mind, so go ahead with it.
