ENLIGHTENMENT IRONY
When someone says to you “I’ve become enlightened”, the first automatic thought that comes to mind is – “People who think they are enlightened are not enlightened”. Am I correct that this was your own thinking too?
People in the land of tomatoes just pick them off the vine. They are fine. They live in a land of no potatoes or root vegetables and don’t know what roots are, because they only know tomatoes and fruits off the ground. So when someone comes along talking about tubers, roots, potatoes and things growing underground, they will call that person crazy, and potatoes don’t exist to them. Especially as you cannot see one.
The same is true for “enlightenment” because the man knows potatoes exist as he’s eaten and grown them personally on another island where they had both tomatoes and potatoes.
So, when he says he’s “enlightened” it has been his own personal experience of discovery and self-realisation.
Something that has not been experienced or realised in the minds of those he’s speaking with, who only will know about tomatoes and regard potatoes as a mythical tale but not ever real.
So, when you think you have become enlightened, it’s ok to feel as if you have in your own subjective unique personal experiential way of living life and understanding yourself well from that process and then becoming “self-aware” and self-realised you are self-aware.
Telling people you have attained this state of elevated frequency of consciousness to people who have not done their inner work, who are hypnotised mind slaves of the general public, is not going to be understood by them. It is like a military jet pilot trying to explain flying a plane to a caveman. They just won’t have any comprehension of what you are talking about.
Most of the cavemen will scoff at your potato tales and laugh at you for talking potatoes. They will think you have ideas above your station, that you think that you are the big “I am” and better than people who eat tomatoes. There could even be an anti-potatoist movement backlash against you for any potato talk. It could upset the economy of the tomato growers.
So, explaining your own personal self-discovery and growth, all that lived experience and life learning, all those lessons and knowledge is lost on someone who’s not done it. They will just assume and suppose what their own belief system and state hypnotism tells them to think and reply with a standard programmed reply and denial of your info or experiences as being false to them.
A lower vibe person cannot know a higher vibe experience. A lower intelligence person cannot understand higher vibe more intelligent information or make connections that bring more understanding to them. Lower vibe people are within collectivism trolling and so telling them you’re an individual won’t make any difference to them, as for them it has not been experienced.
So of course, when you tell people you’ve become enlightened, you are talking to people who are un-enlightened and still very much in the dark. They cannot talk, think or know what an enlightened person is. All they can do is suppose they know what is not enlightenment.
Asking a tomato eater on tomatoes island to say what they think they know about potatoes or people who grow and eat mythical potatoes is not going to get them to know what a real potato is. They will just say what they think it is and will have never tasted one. But they feel arrogant enough to comment that you can’t ever possibly be a potato person. They think you just think you’ve experienced potato, but that you’re mistaken.
So, telling un-enlightened people that you think you’ve become enlightened will get the tomato response from only tomato people who think that potato’s don’t exist. As they have never had a potato experience, yet think they know they can speak on enlightenment enough to know who is or isn’t, just because someone says it.
So, is enlightenment a classification given to you by others? Is it only a status applied to you by others? A socially agreed status that only others can assign to you?
Or is enlightenment a personal journey that only you can experience and know? Is it such a uniquely individual process that has no particular boundary markers to denote where you are in your learning journey? Therefore, nothing to compare against or measure accurately?
It is the latter of the two. Yes, you may get people assigning a status of enlightened or not to you on a social cultural level, but it is not an attribute for someone else to give you. It is only ever self-realised. Even then it is something that you arrive at rather than assign to yourself. Enlightenment is a place you realise you’ve reached kinda only after you have reached it and it has informed you. So, it’s not something you anoint or appoint to yourself as like a role. It’s more a realisation you have reached that mind-space rather than knowing you have at first. Then you realise that’s what it is and then from that will have to admit to yourself that is what it could be. You then hold on to that and look at references to what you are experiencing, and each time you find that these are the same profound internal changes that people have called “enlightenment” in the past. It’s a state of the mind that has more light within it than the average mind does.
It’s more of a biological process of many routes, it’s only ever self-realised.
So this is why an average person can come up with a programmed reply “if he thinks he’s enlightened, then he’s not”, because it’s from the mind that’s not enlightened but arrogant enough to think it knows who is and who isn’t. It’s not even their own opinion, it’s a script they learned to repeat.
This is deliberate, it’s social engineering of culture to keep everyone average, the same as the rest of the herd. You cannot be allowed to be different and improved by those who do not do their own inner work or improve themselves.
No, you have to be pulled down to the rest of the crowd, because if you think you are something special then that means that you are dangerous to the average mind slaves and they will want to stop you from being unique. This is the way the matrix makes people think they are not divine or special or unique. This is the way they control the herd from seeing the ones who free themselves of the herd. This is the way they teach the herd to be ignorant of the ones who can free the herd. Calling the ones on the other side of the prison in their open landscape as crazy. This is designed to stop you reaching enlightenment by your own will and wits.
Never be discouraged or put off from thinking you may be enlightened, or that you think you are becoming enlightened, and never succumb to the brainwashed tomato minds of the tomato people living in their tomato matrix soup world. Don’t let them deny your illuminated divine multi root vegetable-ness.
