The Boring Truth About Enlightenment ("Why am I not enlightened yet?") 

There's a quote from Einstein that reads, “Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler.” You do an astounding job of this in your videos. I think so many people (Hi, I'm people - otherwise I wouldn't end up here haha) are struggling to grapple with existence and religion and spirituality and just all of it these days. We're all so inundated by every differing opinion, new philosophy, daily practice, moral accusation whether this way or that - it becomes exhausting. And it's all contradictory. Because you're right - we're supposed to give up our desires to achieve enlightenment, but wanting enlightenment is a desire in and of itself. Enlightenment has become the most convoluted, complicated, Catch-22 I've yet to know. Thank you for reminding us it's not. It's not sensational. It's not seeing sounds and hearing colors and making opportunities appear from your fingertips just because you believe it so. It's not supremely hard. It's just existing without having to think so consciously about it. And not minding that existence :) Thank you for making this video. I'm glad your brain works the way it does, and I hope you'll continue to share more of it with us

I used to be very arrogant, but after achieving enlightenment and realizing I am infinite, unlimited, and eternal, I became very humble.

all those methods, religious/spiritual/philosophical/psychological stories that we made up to "help ourselves to get enlightened" ... it´s bullshit, okay, but it´s also meant as a beanstalk for the beginners and a diverse employment program for those who feel they need it for a certain while. for many of us it can be quite a shock to REALIZE that we are nothing but naked awareness. no self, no ego, no individual being. and it might take some (imagined) time for that to be clear ... .

the story was passed so much that it's a whole different one now lol

Let me get this straight, you think: Infinite pure consciousness = enlightenment, and there's only ONE enlightened thing, 'no-thing'? Then that enlightenment = unrestricted emotion of happiness... by knowing We = the universe, which is the 'no-thing'(?), and that the universe or 'no-thing' is infinite (in spacetime?), so we're undifferentiating ourselves from it by knowing We = IT, and therefore, will never ACTUALLY die... voiding our perceived problems because they essentially don't matter in the grand scheme of infinity (?) Ultimately: (US = UNIVERSE, which you are saying is ONE (No-differentiation) and Infinite (in spacetime?)) = CONSCIOUSNESS = ENLIGHTMENT = HAPPINESS
