They had to rip Guru Dev out of the jungle.  He knew silence was the most 
profound help to give to the planet.  

Ramana Maharshi seems to have been a genuine example of the means form around 
sattva.  All of that organization formed around him and Arunachala even when 
he discouraged it.

On the other hand, Nisargadatta seems to have had much less support of 
nature, yet I cannot find a single flaw in his words or his spiritual intent 
-- I consider him Ramana's equal in most ways.

Then again, I'm guessing Maharishi, too, was innocent enough when he started.

But but but, let's face it, once we're assuming enlightenment to be real -- 
that is: a living outpost for the mind of God -- all bets are off.  

I do not agree with your definition of enlightenment. God has nothing to do 
with it.

Why couldn't God decide to use PR to promote a religion?  Not that He would 
HAVE TO DO SO FOR SUCCESS.  
He does not exist.

So, Turk, I'm saying your point is not logical if you're assuming that there is 
a divinity to be made manifest.  

I make no such assumption. There is no such thing as divinity, other than the 
candy of that type.

Divinity's agenda, by definition, cannot be gainsaid -- whatever God wants IS 
GOOD -- even the evil parts.
Divinity can have no agenda, because it does not exist. Nor does God. And 
thus the very concept of good or evil is moot.

 I do not agree with your definition of enlightenment. God has nothing to do 
with it.

 
The topic title's question assumes that enlightenment is real -- the use of 
the word if pertains.  I was going along with the if.

But, still, do we have common ground?  Maybe.

To me the enlightenment concept can be found being sold to egos, (BAH!) but, to 
me, an ego is not part of the enlightenment process.  Not means ego is not 
a sentient entity with free-will volition and is merely an object of 
consciousness.  The ego is not the observer of the mind.  It is merely one of 
the objects of consciousness that is sometimes part of the entirety being 
observed.  

Do you agree?  

How about:  Do you agree that there is an observer of the mind that is 
transcendent?  If so, is that transcendent worthy of the word, divinity?  My 
most recent effort to prove divinity is my espousal of the truths about 
radiation as seen in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=XVBEwn6iWOo

ordering reality.  To me, that means light has a core AS IF BUILT IN agenda -- 
not that that agenda is mindful but that it is a real physical dynamic and

question.  Since I feel like my mind has an observer, why not nature itself

If you were being honest about trying to find some common ground, you could 
back up and try to talk about the concept of enlightenment without *ever* 
bringing the concept of God into it. I can do that. Why can't you?

Don't you get it? I believe that there is such a thing as enlightenment, as it 
has been described in some (but not all) spiritual traditions. I've even 
experienced glimpses of it. But I don't see any need to bring the concept of a 
God into the discussion, because to me that concept has NO relevance to the 
concept of enlightenment.

*Does that include the desire to become desireless? *


Base desire works very subtly, not merely because desires are emotively 
imprecise, but especially because the desire to prevent desiring more 
than will be attained is itself unconsciously desired too much.  For 
whenever one desires to stop 'desiring more than will be attained', this 
additional, deeper desire also becomes a desire for more stopping than 
will be attained. Thus this additional, deeper desire requires its own 
additional, still deeper desire to stop desiring more stopping than will 
be attained.

ego. But because it doesn't exist. Never has, never will. Do you get yet who 
you're talking to, Edg? Don't try to run these sophomoric bullshit raps on me. 
 

 Why so defensive Bawwy? Gee, and you might wonder why no one here ever wants 
to engage in any conversation with you (but you won't). You are a socially 
inept imbecile who, when confronted with an opportunity to engage in something 
resembling intelligent dialogue, spits in the face of the other person and 
essentially tells them to fuck off.  Go find a soapbox, there you can stand 
above the rest of the crowd and talk your fool head off and never have to 
answer to anyone.
 
Personally, I think he makes this shit up, to avoid responsibility. He feels 
the heat internally, but with this brainwashed little bumper-sticker (no 
good/no god/no evil) in his mind, he can chalk anything up to randomness, and 
continue his not quite clueless charade.

I'd like to, but I am already hard at work, freeing the Hawaiian Islands, which 
were brought into the US, at the same time Tibet was reunited with China - 
1959. So, how come no one wants to give Hawaii back to the Hawaiians, but all 
these Americans are screaming for a Free Tibet?? Do you think it has anything 
to do with Hawaii being an awesome tropical paradise, and Tibet being basically 
a medieval dump, in a desert? I do. Pass the suntan lotion.
