Beyond Enlightenment

okay okay … i've already said that enlightenment is a lie … so what's this all about really?

well … it's about chopping wood and carrying water …

it's about being the change, not talking about change or trying to create change …

it's about what comes after the direct realisation that what is exists beyond...(more)

Enlightment came crashing in the door!

Denim said Aug 12, 2008, 10:26 PM:

 

Well after taking a look through some of the posts, I am not even sure what I am going to call it now. Enlightenment is not a word I have used in m;y vocabulary. Besides the point for now as my attempt right now is to kick some dust up around here again. As a new member to Gaia it is so exciting to find these groups and you get hyped to start joining in to find out…all is quiet. So I should I assume all the enlightened ones are out busy working chopping wood! (LOL) (I seriously was earlier today, no joking either.)

Nonetheless, another great group and was truly excited to find it. I am going to keep reading.

Enlightenment came crashing through my door completely uninvited, I went runnng out with it. I have a tendancy to leap before I think…sometimes you win and sometimes you loose but does that even really matter?

Wicked ride!

Hi Denim, welcome to the place.

Yep, this group has been quiet. It was started by a fellow who hasn't been writing anything here (on gaia) for quite a while.

I watch over it, because i have a big interest in the topic. I'm always ready to chat about it.

My thinking about “enlightenment” is kinda different than the usual, tho, ha ha ha.

Hi Bill and thanks for the welcome!

I belong to a 1000's groups and 3 are active or something like that.

I am interested in tangling into your thoughts, just caught your profile. It appears you have a passion for the subject, great!

Just a quick “thanks” to let you know I will be back, interesting stuff. I got to go cut some more wood! LOL

What was your 'enlightenment crashing thru the door' experience like?

I'm such a wild eyed radical when it comes to enlightenment practice ( and theory - but theories are so predictably boring - so I hardly care about theory anymore), that it hardly seems to be worthwhile to discuss it much in a very conventional place like gaia.

Thats what I mean when i say in my profile that it's a usually a waste of time to discuss it much. I don't mean it's actually a waste of time - I mean I'm not going to have nice comforting things to say, and since people equate “enlightenment” with the comfort of religion, what i want to talk about ain't gonna make'em happy.

Still, I love this stuff. ;-}
