Induced Enlightment

[RomanJ]

I find it really difficult to describe what enlightenment is. I remember having the thought a few times and questioning whether I was enlightened, it usually came when I was realising stuff about myself that I didn't like.

Spending 6 days in meditation and sleeping sounds like bliss to me! I've got 2 young kids and a puppy so no chance of that.
I did used to love mediation though, I remember reaching a place of such peace and contentment that I thought was way better than any drug I've had.

stuff about myself that I didn't like.

Scriptures ask, who told you you were naked?

Do you know what they are saying?

You do not have to like yourself, as long as you love yourself.

What are your thoughts on my definition of enlightenment?

You just read the title.

It does not apply well. I agree.

Did you get the topic?

I went to the link and actually read it.

My statement stands.

You can stop gaslighting my perceptions now.

I like that.
Self love for me has been learning to do what is best for my health, society puts so much pressure on us to be a certain way. It damaged my health both physical and mental.
Anyway I'm glad I now have good health.
