My current thoughts on Enlightenment #2
Enlightenment is letting go everything that you once knew about yourself.
There is no self.
Not your thoughts
Not your ego
Not your sensations
Not your experiences
Not your negative experiences
Not your perception or simulation of experiences
Not your mental formations
Not your past
Not your guilt
Not your strengths
Not your weaknesses
Not your hopes
Not your dreams
Not your expectations
Not your preferences
Not your relationships
Not your memories
Not your personality
Not your emotions
Not your desires
Not your beliefs
Not your failures
Not your accomplishments
Not your future
Not what other people think of you
Not what you think of yourself
Not your suffering
Nothing else
All that remains is suchness, the simple, ungraspable reality as is.
Experiencing reality and the present moment. Without judgement.
Relying only on effortless action, Wu Wei.
Rejecting all meaning and reason to life.
Spontaneous action that becomes the movement, the dance, of life.
The path to Enlightenment is the rejection of craving the path to Enlightenment.
It is realizing that you are fulfilled and complete as is.
