Being aware of your awareness is not strictly enlightenment. I hear that word bandied about on a lot of these forums but i'm not sure if anyone knows what it trully is, ie Enlightenment. Enlightenment is the pinnacle of spiritual awareness where one drops all attachements to earthly and personal dealings and is a state of non suffering simply because they have no longings or jealousies in the physical realm to become attached to and therefore do not suffer as we do becuase they have realised that all suffering comes from our attachements to physical and psychological hooks. An enlightened person on observing this forum would probablynot even bother to reply to any threads or postings because they do not have the ego bound inclination to prove anything to anybody in particular. The modern chic form of enlightenment should come with a menu option,and I think I'll have some fries with mine thank you.
