Test the Enlightened One.

[Manomanman]

I am enlightened.

Ask me any question you want and I'll answer it using my powers of enlightenment.

P.S. I'm not kidding around either. Check my blog if you want to know more about the experiences that led to my enlightenment.

If YouTube - THE BEST CAT VIDEO YOU'LL EVER SEE doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will.

Cats get a 10/10 for their entertainment value, though I don't own one myself. They're really hard to train and much moodier than dogs.

I'd rather own a dog than a cat. Dogs are man's best friend for a reason.

Please tell me in the simplest terms that a 10yr old would understand, "who you were and who have you become." regards

How do you quickly generate financial abundance?

How do you find/create an environment of supportive people to help you pursue your passion?

What makes you think you're enlightened and haven't just fallen into the trap described in this article? Levels of Consciousness Do you agree that many people who think they're enlightened have just fallen into the trap described here, and still have a lot of growing to do?

All dead serious questions.

Please explain personal responsibility in terms a three year old can understand.

[rei]

please define and describe the form of enlightenment you've achieved.

what, in your own words, is the difference between enlightenment and ascension?

[Manomanman]

Wow - Excellent Questions!

I'm going to field genuine responses to every one of them.

BUT FIRST - I need to make a quick trip to the top of my local mountain and clear my head.

hi

1. what do you think would work as a test of enlightenment?

2. after awakening, what changed concerning experience of dreaming sleep and deep sleep?

3. do you feel any duty / role / desire / volition to do anything?

4. what happened to "other people"?

5. do you enjoy the experience?

Hey, don't steal my thunder! Come up with something original and I don't really think a 3yrs old could understand responsibility. I did laugh though. It was funny and this is also meant to be. regards

I was an individual person separate from the flow of energy that makes its way through the universe.

I am no longer a separate individual, but rather, an integrated part of this flow. Let me know if this makes sense.

This question sparked my curiosity. Have you personal experience or is it just a concept you've heard?

1. I understand the boundaries of what I am capable of understanding. There are chemical boundaries, verbal boundaries, emotional boundaries, cognitive boundaries, memory-based boundaries. I have gone to the edge of each of these boundaries, "looked down the rabbit hole" as deeply as I could, and I returned to the world of the living. I like to think of the world of the non-living as "the netherworld". It is the world that exists beyond our perception.

2. Ascension is when your consciousness envelopes a higher state of being rather than becomes one with it. In other words, your being IS the higher state rather the you being a ripple in the flow of the energy field of the higher state. If I were to die right now, I would merge with the collective unconscious rather than sway the flow of it. As a living entity, I am swaying the flow it.

Enlightenment is nothing more than a concept that exists in peoples' minds. Whatever you will believe is a test of enlightenment, I will claim is a good test of enlightenment.

Here we go Satvik. You and I share a tight wavelength. I would like to give you 100% satisfying answers in this moment, but you're going to have to wait until I launch my next blog to get the complete answers. Here are some previews to munch on:

1. You stop "working" and you start building wealth the way rich people do it.

2. You look for people who are assets rather than liabilities. An asset is something that gives in return - a liability only takes. The way you define these two types of people is purely subjective.

3. Are you referring to the love trap? The best way to get past that is to let your ego dissolve. You have to dissolve it chemically, emotionally, intuitively, spiritually...on all levels. You just become a force in the universe. I don't buy the two levels between Love and Enlightenment - once you've transcended the false belief that you are an individual separate from the universe, you're now "free".

Did not mean to steal your thunder.

My question is a serious question. There is a very clear answer to it. I would like to know the answer of an enlightened person, please.

This is a vague question. What kind of information are you looking for?

"you did it"

All tests require an observer, and all observers co-create the reality that they believe they are "testing."

I think what you really want to know is how I define myself as being enlightened, or perhaps why I consider myself to be enlightened? Read my "looking down the rabbit hole" blurb above.

If I had to define my enlightenment in one sentence: I am enlightened because I am a force that serves the will of Life Itself.

You will, at some point in the future, feel all of the pain that you cause in the world.

I am just curious if in your understanding, you feel there is a test for what you consider to be enlightenment. with your understanding, if you wanted to test someone to see if they are enlightened, is there anything that could show you? what would you ask in such a thread, if anything?

Not to a 10yr old. A 10yr old would look at you and see that you are still an individual person. What does it mean?

what was the purpose, as an enlightened being, of creating this thread (How much money do enlightened people have?) and using labels like "ashamed" to describe others of your type?

how is it that you sound more enlightened in this thread than you did in that one?

[BillyTheAdult]

Why is it all the people on this forum seem to think that they are enlightened?

I would guess that most people claim to be enlightened because it makes them feel good.

I believe I am enlightened because that's how it feels to be me.

How will you distinguish the truly enlightened from those who are "psychotic"?

I don't know. Do you think there is a possible way to do that?

Interesting questions. I am constantly seeking to understand things I don't understand. A great technique for gaining information is to take up a position and see how people react to it. In the other thread, I am defending the idea that money is the path to enlightenment.

In this thread, I am communicating the idea that I am enlightened. If I am not enlightened, my true colors will eventually be shown for what they are
