Alas...there is no such thing as 'enlightenment " .....And no one to whom it could apply. toombaru :::::Toom falls asleep and dreams he's a pterodactyl. He sits on the ledge with his enlightened pterodactyl friend, Godfrey, chewing on a dodo bird and discussing spirituality.::::::: Godfrey: What you are, my dear friend Toom, is that which is dreaming your experience now. You are not who you think you are. Toom: You mean to say that I'm not a pterodactyl? Godfrey: That's right. What's more, neither am I. In fact, neither of us exist at all. Toom: Well, then, who/what am I? Godfrey: The pterodactyl you believe yourself to be is a product of the dream you are having. You, my friend, are the dreamer itself. Toom: And you......what about you? Godfrey: I am also your dream. I am no different from who you are. You created me. Toom: Why would I create you? Godfrey: To tell you it is time to awaken from your dream. Toom: But I don't exist. 'I' can't awaken. Therefore, there is no such thing as awakening. Godfrey: This is just the nonsense of your dream mind. You must cease such foolish nonsense. These are just ideas you use to keep yourself asleep. Once you awaken, you'll see how foolish it was for a dream character to think on such things. Toom: Will you be there when I awaken, Godfrey? Godfrey: Only in your dreams, my friend...... Only in your dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
