Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 There seems to be alot of quotes from enlightened people, but no "experiences" being shared....{with the exception of a few} Quotes, and fancy words are wonderful, at times, but sharing the path of your own personal enlightenment brings the truth closer to home. Just my own two cents today... Carry on with Love, Lynette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lynette, I agree... I love shared stories - they are a lot like metaphors that we can use in different parts of our lives, and gives us a way to look at people/situations differently. I was talking to a friend a while back. We were discussing the 'we are a spirit living in a physical body' type stuff. We go thru life thinking we are only a body... then we start our path and discover that we are spirit. Usually ignoring the fact we are in a body too for a while. :-) But she said something to me that rang so true for me... "we are spirit 'learning to live' in the body." Yes! That's what it feels like! Love, xxxtg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching the breath. And lots of stuff comes up. Today, I was watching, and wondering what would happen if I stopped breathing, and how it was that I didn't stop and so on, and was experiencing a little fear around that, and then suddenly, I realized that this was identification. I was identified with my breathing. Somehow, identification seemed like a bad thing if I was identified with bad things. Breathing isn't a bad thing. For a moment, I felt how awareness mixed up with breathing to make a self. Anyway, that's what happened to me. Bye for now. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Dear Lynn, Small hint. Whatever people are posting IS their experience at the time. Unless you want a composition on "How I Experienced Enlightment During My Summer Holidays?" Everything changes, including the "tone". I have no "personal enlightenment" so I just have to make do.
