The crux of your inquiry seems to be not so much how do we know we are enlightened, but how do we share that or convince others that we are? First, anyone with a thirst to let others know how enlightened they are is mired in deep ignorance, and is either expoliting their followers, or has self-esteem issues. How do we convince others that we are enlightened? It has always worked for me on a frequency level, like a radio. Whenever I am in the presence of someone enlightened, my body resonates at that frequency of Wholeness. it is simple, obvious and unmistakable. As far as my own criteria for my own enlightenment, it has always been a simple one; how much am I enjoying myself, or suffering? Gets rid of the BS right away. ...And I've never had much success convincing myself that "if only external element A -Z were changed, I'd be happier". ------------------------ Yahoo!
