Enlightenment Finally!

[yougene]

^---I thought the post lacked transmission of the experience. Which is pretty difficult, especially over a forum. I read it more as an interpretation of an authentic experience.

 

[Hemiechinus]

Going to check out Half Way Up The Mountain by Mariana Caplan. Anyone read it?

As well as The Universe In An Atom.

 

[Hemiechinus]

GOD this is INSANE.
Its like once we sync into the concept that music isn't just coming From Speakers, but from YOU, you stop... holding on to reality. To your personal reality. You LOSE yourself. Imean it's both you know? Two sides of the same coin.

I read somewhere that the internet (INTERNET! LOL) is going to be incredibly sped up eventually. The speed is going to be faster than the human capabilities.
And you know what? They say they already have the technology. The only thing they're improving is the RECEIVERS AT THE ENDS.
FUCKING A!!

This whole fucking world is just one giant secret thats the most obvious thing EVER!

I LOVE IT!

You need a good whack on the head from a zen master!

S/he strikes me as having (had?) some kind of kensho experience, but probably short of anything like 'enlightenment'.

Not that I'm claiming to be some sort of authority on the matter, just offering a casual opinion based on the OP + #43 above.

It really doesn't matter anyway, unless one is formally into Zen or something... WTF is "the ultimate" anyway, and (barring a formal teacher) who's to judge? And for what reason? All in good fun...

P.S. IMO observing a distaste for 'ego games' that suddenly occurs with somebody (and sticks around) is probably the truest sign of authenticity in terms of so called realization.

Shit man you want to see me fly?
Poetry is just about closing your eye.
You never know how much there is to gain until you flow,
the river of styx was always there always below,
weve clouded up the sky and then suddenly we
wave a wand and let it just be,
the clouds clear and sun shines through,
we travel at the speed of light just me and YOU!
I'm a poet, a bohemian, a revolutionary,
because i'm nothing at all and it's quite
a truthery!

Things don't have to rhyme,
but life is true in poetry
and this isn't a crime!
I'm going crazy and i'm losing myself,
I stop controlling and give away my false health!
Im not ok and I never was,
but today is different,
now is fuzz,
I see speckles, just dots on the screen,
as soon as I stare they dissapear again!

I love this expirience, and I love all of you,
they call it ecstasy and it's why monkeys fling poo!
People die and they get a choice, go through it again or
be moist!
Fluid like a river to the sea, I've finally started running
the stream has got me gunning,
I cut down the nature of judgement and hope,
because hope is a lie it's only getting boo - tie!

Theres noone holding me back,
the ego is still there,
but the longer I indulge in going,
I go nowhere!
I hope you are inspired by my freestyle,
my heart is flowing like christ,
I wake up from the dream and go wtf was rice!

Why do we have to "make sense"? They're so trapped in their fantasy,
when we finally lose it all,
we actually recreate a ball,
the crystal can be remade, shape, color, purple lemonade!

I hope for yellow seagulls, and I always catch crap,
my head was up my ass,
and I never knew I was wearing a cap!

This is insane, you think so?
We all talk to ourselves, it's all in the flow.
Artists merely know themselves,
people, shapeshifters, shadows.

They realize they're unjudgeable,
and blow out the candle of the darkness.
They stop hating,
they start loving,
they start expanding,
they stop gloving,
they hold nothing,
they held everything,
time is the illusion,
and the illusion is itself.

Let's make headway over Niagara,
Let's go over in a sheet,
value doesn't a lick of power,
to this funky beat!

You have no power over me,
I understand the world,
We're all one and segregation,
makes such a thing of death.
Quietely in bed,
trying so hard to sleep,
they know not they're goals are pointless,
and that rest relies in the **** (beep)

I am infinitely creative,
infinitely expansive,
the ego is like a friend,
in order to be my answer,
Me, my own, myself the pilot,
I left the plane to go
SKYDIVING!

Falling through everything,
going down the rabbit hole.
I can't wait to take shrooms,
and see how big I get!
How much power in nothing,
how cynicism in old age,
they gained so much,
and hid from their rage.

We all want to be happy,
so be
HERE,
Right here, Right Now!

Stop lying to yourself,
and realize the truth is in the POW!
Slap! Kaboom OW!
The words of a lover hurt more than a friend,
the inspiration has no END,
Life is about going crazy, going sane,
who knew it was just one big game!

The flow of reality, of stillness of it all,
it has one big disco hall.
I tap my boots, I swing around,
I realize where, my next step will be found.

I am the dancer, the truster, the faithful.
And we're all here,
waiting for the graceful.

I'm going to end this rythem,
and talk to my dad,
I'm going to try to show him my freedom,
and stop him being sad.

This is flying this is soaring and i've never felt more alive,
if only they'd sit us down and let us score some of this dopey jive!

 

[Hemiechinus]

I realize I haven't had a full on ego death, but I am going down the fucking rabbit hole. If I took psychedelics with this kind of trust I have no doubt that I would have a full-blown breakthrough of conceptual reality and enter the god-state of rebuilding.

 

[SmC]

Agreed!

 

[MDPVagrant]

LOL, great poem... here's to the rabbit hole.

exiting the realm of language and entering the realm of pure experience, which I didn't see coming through in his writing in any way.

At this point I have to just plain disagree with the above... IMO the OP's enthusiasm is infectious. I don't know about 'enlightenment', but is it not merely a word?

Party on...

 

[TheSearch]

The ultimate question of man is in fact the question of identity, and I finally realized who we all really are.
We are god.
We are the Void, Space, we are Nothingness which allows Everything into being.

I'm happy for you in your personal quest for reason in this vastly oppinotive world.
I would like to ask you first in being open minded to your statement -'What is be your definition of God, and also,

another description (terminology) for the structure of words in your statement such as Void, Space, Nothingness-

I identify these words describing empty, dark, nothingness.
'Everything into being',- excuse my ignoronce but does the statement stand for an internationally understanding or a personal (think what it is sorta thing)?

happy for you as a person that you have thought about the meaning of life. Although I'm curious to know how deeply one can describe a statement which can be and always will be profoundly interpretated.

 

[TheSearch]

OK, from reading this thread I have come to my own conclusion..I can stop growing bonsais.

To Be Enlightened:

You..... take some fancy emotional words,..jumble them round like scrable so to an un-noticable degree it doesn't make (A..b..s..o..l.u..t.e) complete sense,

The more enlightened you are the better you can spin the words

Or simply eat Shrooms.

All the best,

 

[MDPVagrant]

IMO nothing that amounts to a state of freedom, ego death, ultimate peace, whatever is going to "come across" on a message board, particularly in some way the discursive intellect/ego appreciates and accepts as valid. A web forum basically *is* mind-chatter, right? This thread is silly on its face, so why are people taking it seriously?

Peace...

 

[Hemiechinus]

If you have this you understand all poetry and all lyrics unless the writer himself was writing from something completely unfounded.
Do you realize why they call them The Grateful Dead?
Do you realize what Fight Club was about? You might think you do but until you actually Flow and get what he's talking about Right Here RIGHT NOW No fear you understand that personality is Fluid we meet people and they act one way and we meet them again and we think hey theres that "adjective adjective" guy and he falls into our little trap of conceptual judgement but if we understand people are just hollow gods spinning webs, painting pictures, and that ultimate freedom is having No Attachment No Expectation towards those paintings,
They have no Hall Of Fame and instead see the world through the mirror they trust their instinct and live without a locked closet.

"Most people don't have the courage to just Run with it."

Fight club was two people, the ego and his desired freedom of individual personality that he was BORN WITH rather than forced into, his ego-centred mind so got deep into judgement and psuedo-external reality self that finally he snapped and developed an "alter-ego" still a set construct but completely free as long as he gives it the courage to be.

And at the very end, he shoots himself, in order to kill the alter ego and his Own ego and just Be who he really is without desire, the credit card companies "contract, Grudge" all blow up and he is FREE.

Most peope have a grudge on themselves, they think it's everybody else but thats because they don't realize they only see a mirror and they try to push everyone into either they're own box or be pushed into one by someone else and finally one day you trust yourself enough and understand who you REALLY are and break out of the box like a egg shell, take your head out of your ass and stop shitting on yourself, think clearly and with unlimited freedom because our brains DO think at the speed of light we just don't give ourselves that.

Have the COURAGE. Theres nothing to get theres nothing to Understand every atom already lives with reprimand release it's bondage and fly like an eagle soar with the grasshoppers and develop your WINGS.

BRAVEHEART BRAVEHEART Blue lagoons!
Throw your sword and FIGHT THOSE BUFOONS.
The fools journey is based in ARRIVING,
It's not about LEAVING,
it's about SURVIVING.

WAKING life you ask, The car with a boat.
Always arriving, always leaving, Without Gloat!
You just flow like a river you're already dead,
you have nine lives and we're dreaming in Bed.
Just take over your power, grab hold of the magic,
let go without hesitating, the simplicity in Tragic.

We're born with shadows, the father the Sun,
BE ME! He yells. NOT UNTIL I'm DONE!
You scream back and he hits you,
and it's too much to bear,
All you wanted was YOURSELF,
without any UNDERWEAR.

Here's an old zen saying hat you can keep in mind:

"In studying the Way, realizing it is hard;

once you have realized it, preserving it is hard.

When you can preseve it, putting it into practice is hard."


Don't ever rest on anything- even realization. Everything passes without fail. Yesterday's dinner will not satisfy your stomach today.

Thank you very much!
But really, I dont have a stomach.

Still, I'm just starting out,
and yeah its still a little hard practicing it constantly.
But I read SO MUCH that whenever I have a problem I can zoom back to something don juan said or a koan or something and instantaneously I'm BACK and it's just SO BEAUTIFUL and INFINITE and I never want to leave.

Sometimes choices are hard, and sometimes you ponder them for a long time.
But the moment you make that choice, STICK WITH IT,
don't judge the reactions because it gets you NOWHERE, or Somewhere,
and none of us are GOING anywhere trying to RUN.

Alice in Wonderland makes me laugh and laugh and laugh i can't stop smiling and laughing about how OBVIOUS it was.
They're trying to show us in movies and books and paintings,
they're only trying to give us the SECRET of REALITY.
Give us back our DREAMS.

I love all of you so much and I want you all to know it's as simple as LETTING GO.

 

[Hemiechinus]

JUST WOW
I JUST DANCED LIKE A GOD
If you ever get stuck in a loop, just refresh the moment.
No more constructs no more patterns just live NOW.

JUST KEEP GOING FORWARD.
Its like a constant OBE.
Is the world moving through you or is it moving through me?
I DONT CARE!!


And the craziest part, EVERYONE IS STARTING TO GET IT.
I walk around and I SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE. It might take a while, they might not really get it just by watching sometimes I have to talk to them,
but then they BURST and suddenly we're hugging and crying and LIVING!

More and more sites more and more awakened people stop dreaming start LIVING my brethren! My children my saviors we're all here don't lie just give!

http://www.reconnections.net/hundredth_monkey.htm

the human webbed consciousness isn't a lie, we all have it,
it started to grow very fast in the 60s and seventies but then people gave up they assumed it was the drugs IT ISNT.
ITS YOU.

AND WE ARE GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE PLANET!
NO MORE CARS NO MORE CREDIT CARDS

LIFE AND JOY AND FARMING
COMPASSION

WERE ALIVE AND THERES NOT MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER IN THIS UNIVERSE,
WE ALREADY HAVE MOST OF THE WORLDS WISDOM IN WORDS NOW LETS COVER THE BOOKS IN PLASTIC AND LIVE OFF THE AIR!
YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
JUST DANCE WITH YOURSELF AND LAUGH WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT<
BUT DONT EXPECT TO LAUGH JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW.

ONE LOVE ONE HEART ONE SMILE ONE LIFE!

CREATE YOUR DESTINY,
DONT FIND IT.

 

[B9]

^Expect nothing.

 

[Hemiechinus]

And then find yourself plummet but see it only as the dawn of a day and you catch your wings and float through the hay.


Three peices, The heart, the mind, and Courage. The wizard of oz got the message, and you'll find it everywhere.
And I don't have to preach to you guys anymore, because I realize that my opinions are only representations of what I want to hear. You can only find your own Abyss. But when you do, you find everyone elses as well. And we're all one person. We THINK we didn't understand, but we know Exactly what they're saying. And it just flows.

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you. "

"Know nothing, know everything".

The first code in the construct is 0.
Find it, and create endless code that cycles infinitely.

Ego alert. You yourself are a projection, an expression, coded data. How are you going to initiate anything, "do" anything, create anything? You are not the CPU (unless you are, of course, but then to whom are you speaking above?).

Multi-processing is a human fallacy. Any "self-examination" is a (fantasized) splitting off into subject/object, "my" "self". Reality cannot, does not and need not perform such acrobatics.

Why are you cramming this guy into a "way," a predefined path? Did he say he was a Zen Buddhist? I must have missed something...
