The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke.ββ Adyashanti

@tfmonkey@paypig.org Enlightenment is about realizing that absolutely no one can escape the laws of nature whether they like them or not, and also, that your mind can not change that fact.

When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters.- Ch'uan Teng Lu, 22. (The Way of Zen 126)
