I don't think this is the case. One can be given all the teacher has to offer but the student has to be able to receive it. Students stage of evolution etc. As to your experiences it sounds to me as though you went through stages of consciousness but hadn't arrived at the stage of being fully enlightened. I say sounds like because I am not nor have i ever been fully enlightened Anyway powerful and frightening experiences.Thanks for sharing. Have you ever read Play of Consciousness by Swami Muktananda?

Hey you calling me an idiot ? It's a good thing I'm having a second of enlightenment or I'd be upset.

Sages are often taken for idiots. They prefer it that way. You gotta be kidding. You just did! Aren't we confusing enlightenment with moments, hours, days etc of clarity of being in that state. When i use the term or hear the term i think of the clarity as having taken - it's part of you or you are part of it. I've had my moments. This is not one of them

When one is enlightened there are no idiots. I can't wait

Watcha gonna do? Gonna meditate on you cause i am da man.

What does spiritually focused mean. Isn't it the idea that certain things are spiritual and others not or various degrees of spirituality. Spiritual people are better than non spiritual people There is nothing in life that is mundane if we are fully present in the moment with whatever we are doing or where ever we are. The idea of spirituality makes for seperation - new age religion. Just be who you are where you are- really into whatever you are doing and you will be connected. It's a 24/7 kind of thing. How do you get in that space? Surrender, relax, allow enjoyment to creep in. This is a very long post for me

Thanks for all your insights and sharing. i wish you eternal spring.

Thank you

Thanks Matt

Hint - the one with the moustache in the background ?

The times i have been able t chang my views have been the times i have been able to step back, to get out of my way and really hear what was being said. When i could see the quirks in my interactions i could change them. When i could see my relationship in and to the world. A matter of being less reactive, less defensive. We cannot change what we cannot see or feel.

Cat which one is you

Like relaxing your eyes to the back of your head extends peripheral vision. You see everything yet are focused on nothing.

Where are lawyers now? In hell changing right to wrong. Look inside your heart.

Awareness - paying attention - being present - being open - allowing. No filtering. If we determine what is relevant we are thinking and are no longer in the moment. If we are fully present we know what to do. We know what is relevant. We are in harmony with others and we act accordingly.

I waited so long. How could it be otherwise? You are of my heart.
