Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Enlightenment being the absence of the hypnotic state created by the belief in an individual self, can't be appropriated by a self. 'So to say I'm enlightened.' would be completely absurd. The symptoms manifested by this absence, vary, and come, and go. The qualia of the perception without a perceiver can't be communicated by words. Most personality traits remain unaffected. So no one can say by reading a few emails, if the brain generating those emails is free from such hypnotic trance. Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Anyone who claims to be enlightened is full of crap. Avoid them, if possible. Who is there to be enlightened?
