Is it arrogance to say I am enlightened or I am
without fear, I am not brainwashed, I do not need hospitals, doctors and so on?
First of all it depends which ‘I’ one refers
too. The essential self is already free
of those above and it may well be it is the ego that asks these points because
in my mind it seems that if one states these attributes then there is a
doubt. I say this because the essential
self is in this awareness and doesn't know any other state so it needs no
referral point. The ego is wishing to be free and its feeling of freedom is
relative to its programming and agendas which are at best subject to change
through life experience and brain washing, propaganda and circumstances, the
essential self has only its essential state and no other, it is a seamless
being.
I question those who claim enlightenment for it
was said to me by wise persons this is a ‘spiritual trap’ and what does enlightenment
mean?; if one can define it then we are back in words, logic and limited
expression, so the question is it arrogant to admit that one is free, unafraid
and in no need, if one way yes for it is an ego claim and may feel free and
unafraid, fearless and one with God, yet the sands of time would be a test to
see if it is not will power and affirmations.
I have heard it said that an enlightened being
does not know that he / she is enlightened one just lives from the space of
consciousness one is in only the individual can know what they experience and
in the case of conscious experiences they are hard or inadequate to describe in
words as it is said ‘the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon---arriving
and landing and being there is’
How can one value or grade where one is in
consciousness and spiritual endeavour; terms like third grade master, operating
free spirit one, partially dissolved ego, no mind / no thought. Third dimensional being rising to the
umpteenth dimension and is God realisation, nirvana, enlightenment, satori, jivan
mukti, Samadhi and so on, these being descriptions of God who is beyond
description.
So where are we now; beyond description and words,
without a road map or template, no blueprints or schematics and where does this
lead us to---if you can answer this then rest quiet if not keep on keeping on.
SHACK
When there no way to define or explain, then there is a gap, a suspension of thought ---remain in the gap---then can one remain anywhere----and who is that,that remains?
