Hi Kir Li Molari,

 

From one viewpoint this seems the case... yet the 'experience' is

not 'it'. " It " being always everpresent Here Now, what could an

experience indicate? How can you say *at one point* in the eternal

present (eternal present containing no points)? How could something

not involving time or space " Realize itself " nowhere, at no time?

 

Truly, there is no describing in words... neither " Enlightenment "

nor " Realization " are precise at all, both fall far off the mark.

Some use terms like " instantaneous " to describe this, but that is not

accurate. Some use terms like " gradual, " that is not accurate

either. Nothing ever happened -- that is a little closer, but still

not accurate.

 

" Realization, " that is the exact point that words fail. That is

where words fall off, where they do not reach. But what else can be

used for speaking, but words?

 

Everyone (including the so-called " enlightened " ) has to resort to

these foolish symbols called " words " to describe something that can't

be described... and so they lie, but as closely to the truth as

possible. And believe it... that is still very far away.

 

Nobody ever believes it can't be described, either. If more would

accept the fact, there would be less talking about it... but since

nobody does, endless speculation abounds, most of it confusing the

issue even more.

 

Namaste,

 

Omkara
