Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form. ~ Eckhart Tolle .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some harm done to someone? And who else do you have to learn from? Have you learned/changed into what Nisargatatta has talked about? And how would you know if he is " parroting " ? Can you " parrot " as effectively, as clearly, as powerfully. Please learn to be more appreciative. Larry Epston www.epston.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Epston _www.epston.com_ (http://www.epston.com) Folks naturally want to know if a teacher is actually 'enlightened' or not. I saw no implication that he wasn't being appreciated for what he teaches, only the questioning of the perspective from which that teaching originates. Why so contentious and punitive, Larry?
