Beyond Enlightenment

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

The Stock Market and Enlightenment

Professor Rainbow Glitter Starfish said May 20, 2008, 10:02 PM:

 

I am a pension fund manager (stock trader) and have found the study of psychology and the practice of emotional management extremely helpful in my performance. I would like to find people with similar interests or experiences to discuss this with.

I would expect that you do, on multiple levels.

Even tho I've ended up being qute interested in 'enlightenment' states and conditions, along the way I've concluded there there are many 'technologies of self-development' that have other valuable effects. Those effects aren't 'enlightenment' related, but they can and do result in an improved human being.

I've also included that in many cases, the improved human being is, in general, more useful than the 'enlightened' human being.

'Enlightenment' is a kind of extreme - the distant end of the bell curve. Improved humans may be more valuable to the whold body of humanity.

Tho, one should also add, that position of mine is certain to be disputeable and debateable.
