Ok, lemme explain something- I had experiences meeting many that claimed enlightenment but it wasn't the case. My experiences were not good. Too many and too much stuff to write in this post now. As a result of the meetings for example, I was depressed at times, bummed out, and confusion was ramped, not only with me, but also the claimant.
The things I have pointed out in the previous posts regarding this matter of those self declaring, etc, can possibly be very usefull to some here down the road. If some predictions I heard are correct, this aint nothin yet compared to what;s coming regarding people stepping forward with the declaration of enlightenment. Certainly Being is the core essence of what is there for all but none the less, my experience has been that I walked away in peace and clarity from those truly enlightened, and with confusion and depression from those claiming it that were not. I have suggested ideas for what to look for. This means, if you are like me, then you will avoid this unprefered experience I am talking about. Is there anyone else here that has had dealings with one claiming enlightenment, and then things ended up with difficulties? Having dealings means getting close, spending some time with that one, etc I learned TM in 1978 and the first time I ran into anyone claiming enlightenment was 2006. Then to my astonishment, they were coming out of the wordwork. By now, it is about 20, I have to make a list. The majority of these think they are enlightened but all indications point to this not being the case. Hridaya Puri
