anyone actually found enlightenment?

I had a glimpse of enlightenment yesterday on mushrooms, I started thinking about dream memories and suddenly I tapped into a crystal clear sparkling vision of some of the places in my dreamscape, it was pure clarity as if I was actually dreaming rather than the usual foggy half-memories of dreams you get while awake. Suddenly, the true dream-like nature of reality became clear to me and I saw how the place of my dreaming exists in unison with waking reality and that I could transcend the shadow realm that seperates the two worlds and see how they seamlessly flow together in a symbiotic inter-relationship and that, in essence, they are one and the same. It was a vison of love that showed me that i/we are perfect and holy reflections of the creator spirit, it was so beautiful I literally buckled at the knees and fell to the ground in bliss and awe.

I love life, I love mushrooms.

Imagine:

Pure experience,
pure intuition,
pure beauty,
pure awareness resting in itself.

Free from pain.
Free from desire.
Free from concepts.
Free from conditioning.
Free from attachment.
Free from struggle.

A state of inner mastery.

Blissful. Silent.

From what I have read, this state is enlightemnent.

heres an inspiring quote from osho...


There is a totally different quality of being which comes by not thinking: not good, not bad, simply a state of no-thinking. You simply watch, you simply remain conscious, but you don´t think. And if some thought enters... they will enter, because thoughts are not yours; they are just floating in the air. All around there is a noosphere, a thought-sphere, all around. Just as there is air, there is thought all around you, and it goes on entering on its own accord. It stops only when you become more and more aware. There is something in it: if you become more aware, a thought simply disappears, it melts, because awareness is a greater energy than thought.

Awareness is like fire to thought. It is just like you burn a lamp in the house and the darkness cannot enter; you put the light off - from everywhere darkness has entered; without taking a single minute, a single moment, it is there. When the light burns in the house, the darkness cannot enter. Thoughts are like darkness: they enter only if there is no light within. Awareness is fire: you become more aware, less and less thoughts enter.

If you become really integrated in your awareness, thoughts don´t enter you; you have become an impenetrable citadel, nothing can penetrate you. Not that you are closed, remember - you are absolutely open; but just the very energy of awareness becomes your citadel. And when no thoughts can enter you, they will come and they will bypass you. You will see them coming, and simply, by the time they reach near you they turn. Then you can move anywhere, then you go to the very hell - nothing can affect you. This is what we mean by enlightenment.

i remember having an amazing lsd+mushroom trip... for a couple months afterwords i was in a very aware state of mind, it kind of felt like i was enlightened. then things went back to normal, back to my unbalanced self.

i need to start meditating again

I don't really know much about Osho... I have only read a few things by him. But why do you say he wasn't enlightened? How would you know for sure?

I find it hard to believe that somebody who isn't enlightened would be able to perceive enlightenment in anothers eyes...

But what do I know.
 
I can't know if anyone is enlightened or not. It's a best guess based on what I think I know.

My definition of enlightenment is pretty strict. I'm of the belief that if you're in a human body, alive on earth, and haven't gone up in white light, sorry you aren't enlightened.

Now I know a few people who are pretty cool, and if I dropped my standards for enlightenment, I would say they were.

So just my opinion I was giving. Of course I can't know.=D
 
^You can actually still be alive on earth in a living human body and be enlightened. It's rare though. Very rare. You dont hear about truely enlightened individuals much, if at all, cause they are off in isolation, or in some temple somewhere, hell even sitting in their apartment, just sitting there breathing. I'm taking sides (lol, in a thread about enlightenment) with StrawberryLoveMuffin. There are a lot of people in this thread claiming to have found enlightenment, or to be enlightened. Im sorry, but that is pretty damn laughable to me. Am i enlightened? Hell no. I used to take acid all the time, smoke 5-meo-dmt, DMT, shrooms, mescaline, MDMA, all the fucking time...ect. I've experienced ego death too many times to remember. I've had experiences where i felt as though i became one with god, and thus was god. Too much to explain. But im sure most everyone in here knows what i am talking about. When i was in high school i started reading a lot of books on Buddhism, then dropped it, cause found even Buddhists to be too strict, so i just started reading on Zen philosophy. Then gave that up in pursuit of using methamphetamine daily for a year and a half. Then started using dope. (had been using pharm opiods long before, but finally did the horse). Now im using opiates maybe once a week at the most, and have started reading again...cept i dropped all the Zen drama for old fictional Alduous Huxley books. :\ I like playing the guitar. I like to write. I like talking to beautiful women...and then some :p I enjoy sleeping in. What can i say? Will i ever find enlightment while still alive? Perhaps. I personally think you have a better chance at "obtaining" true enlightenment if you cease to search for it. One day it will just dawn on you and never let go. ;)

Buddhists say that anyone who finds enlightenment will inevitably reject it because they know that no-one can attain enlightment until we all do because we are all one, ultimately. These people return to earth and dedicate their existance to helping the rest of us transcend samsara, they are called bodhisattva's.

it's a belief alright. But nothing more and nothing less. Or is it?

Dexter, I agree. My experience is very much like yours. Maybe this question of enlightenment is meaningless.

My partner who is one of the most awake, open, freethinking, people I have ever met. Never even considers the question of enlightenment.

Her one question is are you happy, having a joy filled life? Well, why not? What can be done about that.?

She is so cool.=D
