What does 'enlightened' even mean, anyway? I mean, there's so many different ways you could interpret that.

Actually there have been a number of studies showing that tripping on psylocibin mushrooms once generally leads to a happier, better adjusted life.

e.g., http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21674151

tl;dr Do mushrooms, OP

Yeah, I'm expecting that to finally happen any day now; I'm surprised it hasn't yet! Maybe all that IRREPARABLE BRAIN DAMAGE from smoking weed every once in a while has made me immune to the DEVASTATING PARANOID EFFECTS of one time mushroom use.

You enjoy your boring (yet terrifying) life of believing whatever BS drug propaganda you come across. Or do a little more critical reading and enlighten yourself, like this thread is all about.

I fear gang violence more then Homeland Security, but I fear Homeland Security more then the A.T.F. I fear the A.T.F. more then drugs, and yes, I know drugs destroy families, but it's not the drugs that destroy the family, it's the self destructive person with the addictive personality. On the other hand, Gangs, Homeland Security, the A.T.F. are more frightening because of who they impact and the randomness of victims they leave in their wake.

One thing that has always confused me-

why do people who claim to be enlightened or whatever speak about it in such confusing ways? I mean, just look at the comments on the videos of that mooji guy, or osho. Or even read some of the posts here. It's like they're being deliberately vague and cryptic to make them look more wise than they are.

Or maybe not, I don't know. I'm just confused why not one of these people can speak concisely about this shit.

I realize that this is 4chan and people will say that i'm trolling but my honest opinion is the only way to become better is by getting saved by God, as in christianity. You will both, become a better person (unselfish, educated, kind, and loving) and accepting Jesus as your savior you will have eternal salvation. Anyways this is my advice and i dont mean to troll

honest question here but assuming you are indeed not trolling what are you doing here on 4chan?

Like, what events could possibly lead to a christian browsing this place? Unless you're a born again or something?

I guess they talk that way so it would be more conceptual/open to interpretation. Which is better since they could apply the ideas and cater them to their own specific circumstance. But I have no idea, these are just my own theory on this. *shrugs*

Yoga, Meditation, Lucid Dreaming, Philosophy, Communication, Your own Ancestry, eat healthy, exercise, serve mankind by making the world a better place to live. All the answers you seek already lie within you, its just up to you to release them. Also all human beings are flawed and naturally looking out for their self interest. Trust no mans word without your own personal research. No matter how credible they are.

Enlightenment is the natural state, you have to recognise it, not attain, nothing to attain. How ? Well, fast way, do some DMT or any ego killing drug. Slow way, detach yourself from all the chatter your mind is dragging you into, all the little stories/drama. The way this society is built, more TV/Radio/friends you get the harder it is. Good luck OP.

If your serious OP, and still here.....look up these men.

Santos Bonacc - http://www.youtube.com/user/MrAstrotheology/featured (I would start with "Know Thyself")

Mark Passio - http://whatonearthishappening.com/podcast
Broadcast #1 is best to start with, since he builds upon previous lessons.

Lots of information that you won't find elsewhere.
Will blow your mind, if its the first time or the 10th time.
Enjoy !

Speaking as a buddhist, meditation is a very helpful thing. Clearing the mind, I find, allows it to sort of organize itself. Increasing mindfulness is also good. Always think of what you are doing at the present moment, and think of the impacts it will have on yourself and others.

Drugs are not necessarily bad, OP. research them (and ignore fucking propaganda, if you can).

'enlightenment' and similar concepts today are treated as commodities.
>spiritual materialism
Declaring 'I am enlightened.' or whatever creates one of those 'This statement is false.' paradoxes. (Because the 'I am' creates and implies an ego which is then qualified by the 'enlightened' all of which this person is claiming to have done away with (based on the definitions of those words).)

How I try to keep growing, is by constantly questioning myself. I don't even have to force myself to do it, my fears naturally make me search for the "correct" way of living. I constantly revise my mindset and whatnot. Constant flux. Chaotic, yes, but I believe it to be necessary.
