There are people on this forum that would and do renounce the reality of enlightenment, no matter what is presented to them. Why? Because all enlightenment is, is a radical departure from how we see ourselves in terms of our relationship with our universe; with no longer any stories or concepts filtering our immediate experience. That is a very threatening reality to many, despite in most cases their former years being supposedly committed to the dissolution of such stories and filters. As I like to say of such peoples' thinking, "unbounded awareness is great, but enough is enough".
So continue as you choose to doubt and question and challenge, and in general protect all that you think is yours. Make every statement in favor of enlightenment, here and now, a rebuttal of your "precious" and protected self. Define each statement in favor of eternal freedom, available right now, in terms of a strange dualistic concept, where everything stated as Real is found to be either above or below you, either inferior or superior. Continue to ridicule and cast doubt on those who have awakened to life's Reality. I see clearly that there is nothing to be done about it, unless and until you and others choose to literally change your minds and hearts. I have nothing to prove to you, nor do I write for your benefit, as you have amply demonstrated.
