		<description>Hi Nichi...The universe is way more amazing and wonderful than you could ever imagine!  Your mind cannot fully comprehend it.  You understand, but you have not experienced.  Very big difference, and the experience will not let you down.

I used to think that there had to be more to life, and now I know that there is and it&#039;s far more *can&#039;t even choose a word...words can never do justice here* than I ever would have guessed!  An experience of Eternal Bliss Consciousness can change your life in an instant!  Let go of the concepts of the mind if you want to experience it.  That is all that is necessary, even for a few moments.  Stop thinking and find out what is underneath.  Indescribable!</description>

		<description>Yes.. actually.. I understand all this of course.. it just seems too simple.. too easy... kindof a letdown somehow. The universe doesnt seem as complex and wonderful as my mind wants it to be.

We really are a dream on the back of a turtle aren&#039;t we?

Thank you for your reply though, or I thank myself rather ;-)</description>

		<description>&quot;So if you’re thinking that when you get enlightened, that’s the end of the road, well, think again! &quot;

Yes not the end, but the real beginning, or part of the beginning.  :beer  

Perhaps enlightenment is just moving one more space on the Infinite game board of this technicoloured holographic multi dimensional lucid dream energy vibration system called 
physical life. :cool</description>

		<description>The journey after Enlightenment is also the main topic of this book, &quot;The Nine Freedoms&quot;:
http://aetherius.org/index.cfm?app=content&amp;SectionID=67&amp;PageID=112

It is a great and inspiring read, and since enlightenment is depicted as the 4th freedom in this book, it expands far beyond the usual teachings on advaita.

I´d love to hear your take on this one, Ariel, since I am not sure whether I should take it serious or not...

I´m looking forward to understand beyond words  :rolleyes</description>

		<description>lol, it&#039;s VERY confusing, isn&#039;t it Glen?  :lol 

Adyashanti has an audio program discussing exactly this topic called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/adyashanti-the-end-of-your-world/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The End of Your World&lt;/a&gt;.

It&#039;s actually super common. In his experience, most people have the &quot;I got it, I lost it&quot; experience, or what he calls non-abiding awakenings.

I wouldn&#039;t say that just because you are not thinking for a moment that you&#039;ve truly reached enlightenment. Awakening is like this revolutionary change, yet it&#039;s totally ordinary. It&#039;s pretty obvious when it happens though.. heh</description>

		<description>Is it possible for people to be &#039;enlightened&#039; and fall out? I guess I&#039;m quite confused about the subject.

If I can be completely present and not feel ego about that, no thoughts etc...then I am englightened, or at least in an enlightened state, correct?

*Confused* ;)

Cheers,
Glen

		<description>Dear Nichi
Maybe I can answer this one.
First of all we need to understand how it all began.In the beginning there was only god(infinite).What we experience in spirituality as love,peace etc is nothing but a glimpse of who we truly are.Now in the beginning there was nothing except god; no time no space i.e no here no there no past and no future.God wanted to experience the opposite of love something different in taste in feeling.But unfortunately for him love,peace,silence,oneness  had no opposite.The only alternative in front of him was to forget love,peace etc i.e himself and then through a long seeking find it in himself.
all illusions matter,time,space help him to forget who he truly is.
We are all in short God in disguise suffering from amnesia.

Life is as if a game of seeking love,peace,abundance everywhere in this universe outside yourself until one turns towards his core(heart)and realises that all he wanted and searched for throughout his life was only himself(god i.e ones own being nature).
aS for ur doubt, as i said time and space are all illusions i.e there is no where, no there;no up no down only one eternal here and one eternal now.This now and here moment which is the true nature of one has enough power in itself to awaken one to ones true nature a million times over if one can allow the now-here moment to be long enough without resisting.

There is no space in the entire universe where there is no existence since space itself is the existence(god) expressing itself in the form of space.There is no in no out,only god-created seperations that as if dissillusions the mind and and makes it belive in time,space,matter etc.
               with love
