Hi Rodger speaking from direct experience, I only know (?!) two things:
1. a great sense of inadequacy did accompany me for a while whilst 'searching', till 'I' realized there was nothing wrong with me. However, small readjustments did occur that helped me understand better the unicity of Consciousness and Awareness; 2. (Psychological) pain: this was a major factor to the point I was only seeing two categories of people (a) those who were carrying a pain (like me) and (b) those who were pain-free i.e. the enlightened, the Self Realized, the awakened ones. It took me some time to realize in order to experience 'pain' there has to be a 'one' that feels the pain. Enlightenment is a pain-free zone because no-one is there. Of course, pain can still arise, but it does not belong to 'anyone'..... Kali On 25 Lug, 18:05, Rodger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Kali, > Chasing enlightenment can only result in suffering?
