Who gets enlightened?

[Guest guest]

Jan,

 

Yes, never could get truer. And there is no use ,

even for the mind. There is just a realization of who

you are , for an instant : the divine joke of

misidentification that YOU played upon yourself.

 

From then on, there is no association with the

psychosomatic apparatus that YOU wrongly related to.

 

Namaste,

My question is very simple, “Who gets enlightened?”

Or to put it the other way around, who suffers?

Isn’t all this seeking, love, god, etc. just another

game?

My story starts and continues only when I am

conscious. In deep sleep when

there is awareness without consciousness … there is no

I, and no world.

[Most of us, most of the time, forget this awareness

during deep sleep as

soon as we wake up and our story begins!]

Only when there is an “I”, there is spirituality,

seeking etc. However

those of us who have had a glimpse of the non-dual

reality know that this

“I” is a fabrication. It is just the ego or mind.

So I conclude that the benefits of enlightenment are

for the mind and thus

really of no consequence. Which is why, for example,

Buddhism is more

psychology than religion. Perhaps all this

spirituality will be part of the

psychology syllabus in the future! [And, as for

religion, it will be in the

dust bin]

my unenlightened opinion,

Jan
