At least thats how I see it ...
but how do you know this? To say there is the true light and then the light which is just its image means you would have to have seen both, to make such a comparison, to say "thats how it is" you need to have SEEN both. Have you seen both? I doubt any one who is truely enlightened sees it as an illusion, I know I am not but I see it in others, its so very clear when you see it in those few who have attained it. They know what it is, they know its not an illusion.
I believe there is false light, however it does not shine for long, soon its true identity is shown and you'd have to be totally in its rapturous spell to not notice this. Yes it can blind you for a while but in the end it looses its light, it always does because its a false light. To think one is enligtened in its presence is short lived.

Im still waiting for an update from the OP on his progress with his brain wave machine. The one that was to give him the brain waves of a Zen master. I wonder how he is doing?
I spoke to someone on another thread who had used one of these and it changed him almost over night. He has now become detached from society, paranoid and even has thoughts of suicide. I think this is evidence we cant handle the brain pattern of a zen master, because it takes years of understanding what these brain patterns actually mean.

you better... because what he wrote is the absolute truth.
'Enlightenment' is nothing more than forbidden fruit. The same fruit that Adam and Eve ate. It is basically forbidden knowledge. It might taste good at first, but it comes from the realm of darkness.
Makes me wonder how much knowledge I've gotten by sitting at my computer that has a huge APPLE LOGO on it with with bite taken out of it.
Becareful what truth your searching for.

The goal is to bring Heaven to Earth, not to win converts via their submission to a certain doctrine.
Christianity must update itself if it is to remain viable in a modern world.
That may be off topic I realize, just sharing..

They are right. There is as certain level where one take the security and wellbeing of their soul into their own hands. I can speak from personal experience on this matter. You take your souls stability into your own hands and to be quite honest none of you are ready to take that leap.
