If the ego were like a phone with which you and others communicate than I must use a phone in order to reach you and make sure no one intercepted my words and changed it's meaning. I could tell you about the other way of communicating ofcourse, without an ego like posting here and then someone reads it and talks to it about someone who has never heard of ATS, then that person might tell to somebody else who doesn't even have an internet connection but that would be outside the scope of this topic.edit on 22/2/2013 by Dragonfly79 because: (no reason given)

having read and re-read your posts in this thread, i'm still left with confusion as to what your enlightenment really is. i follow what you said about your "pre" enlightenment and methodology... but what is your "state" now?
i guess i dont quite understand what your enlightenment is and how it is manifested , how it has changed you - i would very much appreciate it if you could elaborate on this.
also what was your inspiration, what started you on this journey?

Also I would like to ask: how did you know when you were "enlightened"?, or rather what happened or happens to assure you that you are enlightened.

Can you find any advice for me? I thought I'd ask here instead of pm'ing you. You may send any to my inbox.
Although I'm quite alright with my state, I wanted to say, but then suddenly I didn't want do say anything about anymore. I wanted to say I'm satisfied, but I am really not.
I wondered about your age reading the posts. (I just say I wondered, I didn't ask, if 'you' don't want to tell.)

Dragonfly, if you are enlightened show it. Without the use of EGO for when someone is truelly enlightened that which is spoken through the simplest of words will resinate with that individual.
Nor has any response you've given sound remotely close to enlightenment. If not the rantings of a mad man who has the internet so he claims enlightenment.
This is my opinion and every post, you spatter some primordial soup rhetoric. Your chances of someone who would actually believe you is fading away fast.
Start answering questions and stop tip toeing around questions. And there is your vanity in your enlightenment.
Walk the walk my friend not tip toe through the field yo~

Fellow posters, lo and behold, there is a test to see if One is Enlightened.
You need to come to Holland then, the only country where it is allowed, besides maybe India with their sadhu's. I would also like to state I would like to keep this thread free of illegal substances and they are in no way required for attaining enlightenment, knowing all substances and even immaterial things can be considered as drugs.
In the future the USA might be able to ask my country for extradition of my person for influencing the public while under influence of marijuana and putting me in prison but for the time being this cannot happen but no one can have the same of what I'm smoking unless they happen to live in my country as well.
