Joseph Maynor Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) Do you believe in solipsism? Why or why not? How does your recognition of enlightenment differ from solipsism? I think I already know what your answer will be but I still felt like asking you this. Edited March 7, 2024 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention YouTube

Solipsism comes from I, I is the accumulation of thoughts. If there is no thoughts, question becomes irrelevant. Because enlightenment is giving away / surrendering all attachments therefore thoughts.

You're probably gonna say "I am" isn't a thought. You're gonna say it's a direct recognition of the Self. Edited March 7, 2024 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention YouTube

You're gonna say it's a direct recognition of the Self. "I am" is a thought. Direct recognition of true self is empty mind as deep sleep or before so called birth, just "Being". Attachment with any word creates so called duality. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."

Rose Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 (edited) A few weeks ago when on shrooms I saw enlightenment as a beautiful Crystal castle, with people wearing white clothes, and everything looking so peaceful and pure there.. Then I realized for me that was a “point of unconditional happiness” (this is what we call it in psychology in Ukrainian - basically this is whatever “state” we idealize and believe will make us so very happy. Kind of like how people some people who grew up in shitty homes believe having a good family will make them really happy, so they idealize it and no relationship is ever good for them) I saw my room then, and me sitting in it. And realized enlightenment is not something magical and beautiful I’ve been picturing all this time. It is literally me at that moment in that room. Accepting the world for how it is, accepting my life for how it is, being in this room as I am and living to the fullest in that moment. Does it make sense? Edited March 8, 2024 by Rose Quote Mention

Enlightenment is simply being where you already are and being what you already. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."
