Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 lostnTRANCElation says it will take 5 more lifetimes for him to become enlightened. Firstly we have to clearly define what we mean by enlightenment. I am not referring to an enlightenment experience, nor am I referring to our pure essence that is unencumbered by mind and body. I am referring to the awareness that is attached to the conditioned mind which is also expressed in the body and must be uncoupled for true Enlightenment . In order for a being to detach from that dependent origination, one must either have such a powerful trance capacity mind that is detached from the psychosomatic apparatus or break the clinging of mind and body by awareness of how we became bound by our conditioning. Basically the unpleasant feelings or pleasant feelings condition our minds so that leads to energy knots or attachments. Mindfulness when awesomely developed will break that chain of conditioning and remain as awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
