Enlightenment is a con - IMO.
And it's an elitist con at that.
What do ya do when you get enlightened? Ya do the bloody same thing ya did before ya got it.

No I don't think that's it Sonya. It's not as easy as it used to be, something has definitely changed. It's like the techniques are not really working any more. Anyway, mostly they were just more fodder for the ego.

As Sonya said, it is Ego that has gotten hold of the toy of "enlightenment." Nothing more.
The "Self," that which has been awakened, does not need to know. It is intelligence without a plan, intelligence that can make do, and better than make do, that can make perfection out of "what is" completely in the moment.

things are changing, we have been given some opportunities to play with some magic, but now we need to learn the next level of currency, and my suspicion is that it is something to do with warmth (and embracing the dark - just thought I'd throw that one in there for luck)
That seems to me to be the problem with the LoA as it was stated. If you listen to what they TELL you to do, you hear one thing, if you watch closely what they are really doing, they are doing that, but something else as well.
I have seen dark/light as from the same source for a very long time, but what you just said adds a new insight on the manifestation thought.

Very well said. I started to type out an explanation earlier but then decided not too. Not to sound arrogant, but some things have to be seen to be understood, and when I start to type stuff out on this topic I end up just hitting the delete button most of the time. Wasted words. : )

I honestly do not see how one could have the light go on, and not be humbled. Only the ego can feel "better than." Only the ego sees others.

Well the dark is a great manifester. Careful though.

Something in there is a bit 'light worker' though. Maybe you just remind me of my business partner (successful tarot reader and spiritual coach). Maybe it's simply your liberal use of terms like 'self', 'know yourself', 'just be' and stuff like that - too much of a reminder of my walk of shame.

I can assure you that there is no one further from being a "lightworker" than I. Lol.

I really doubt if many people spend their days in that state of conscious enlightement. Not to say some don't, but it is surely not the norm.

Light workers generally do not get off on discussing serial killers in such depth. Discussing serial killers is like eating red meat or drinking alcohol, not typical light worker stuff.
