Thanks for stopping by and sharing. If its clear that a comment is just a reaction to the Title & you've not watched the video ill probably just delete it as it doesnt promote discussion or connection. ❤
Well said. I remember Jack Kornfield recounting that when he observed his teacher, Ajahn Chah (widely considered to have been a highly realised person), he found him lacking in what he (Kornfield) considered enlightened behaviour. When Kornfield complained about this to Chah, he just laughed and told him, "Good--that way you know it cannot be found somewhere out there."
How wonderful Ajahn chah and the Thai forest school and very close to my heart and some of my most precious teachers so always love to hear about them. Thanks for sharing this.
The most enlightened men, you'll never know.... as they don't claim to be. ❤
Three quick points for you. 1) The most enlightened person is not online (and doesn't exist-but that is another story). 2) Enlightenment is not a competition- you are not looking for the most enlightened, it is your personal journey. 3) You are already there, you just don't realize it. Hope that helps you on your journey.
If you watch the video it may give some context to the title. It echoes the points you made.
I remember that when I was seeking Enlightenment, I was very concerned about my level of awakening, comparing myself to various teachers and concluding that I'm not at their level yet.
Now, I still learn from such teachers like Rupert Spira, Adyashanti or Mooji, but I've discovered that their expression of truth is just an expression. I'm slowly learning to stand on my own feet and allowing for my own unique expression of the source to shine. I don't have to buy into other people's concepts if my own way of understanding differs.
The source is the same, so there is no need for comparison. It's interesting that without the identification with form, I'm able to actually discover the beauty and uniqueness of that form.
This is beautiful thanks so much for sharing ❤
@@Awakehereandnow Thank you for creating a place where I can share. You know, I think I needed that. Not only to share, but for someone to listen. Thank you for your kindness, it's a wonderful gift ❤🙏
Once the Dalai Lama was responding about whether he is actually incarnated from the last one. I liked his response. He said whether he is or isn't is not the point but the question is if he can do the job of the Dalai Lama. His selectors found someone who could do the job. Which is really all one can ask, imo.
Buddha and Jesus didn't make RUclips videos but they did the equivalent in their own times. They spoke to people, a lot.
I kinda think of enlightenment or nonduality as touching the bottom of the pool. It's helpful as a reference, it's refreshing in the moment. But I can't stay down there all day every day. And I keep waking up back in a body mind that's somewhere else in the middle of the pool of illusion. Angelo Dilullo is definitely a clear instructor tho.
In my experience, he is the clearest.
Yeah he is awesome. His book is quality
Ten points for not saying: It’s ME! I’m the most enlightened person online.
There are lots of Buddhist monks online, for example Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, who are truly enlightened and very active in the world.
Michael Singer is worth listening to
For me, he is absolutely the best.
Humility and compassion. Acceptance contra striving for perfection (in others and Self). Beautifully provocative.
I’ve started watching more talks by Jim Carrey lately and he’s been a great source of inspiration! I love when he said (linked to this): “How tricky is this ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something we already possess”
Jim Carrey is absolutely brilliant and deeply insightful.
The most popular fantasy film amongst seeks is Lord Othering.
What a wonderful seeing, and very true. I can't see how there can be any spiritual hierarchy, just integrated Beings that have recognized the Truth within, and those that have not yet chosen to fully recognise it. There is nothing to gain or want! 'It' is the very experiencing of even that, and that's so important to discern. So thank you immensley for sharing.
Thank you immensely for such a lovely and expressive comment. ❤
The BEST enlightenment is... YOUR OWN.
i only asked myself, who is the most beautiful one...
Letting go. Yup, yup, yup.
The paradox that I see ignored a lot is that letting go is very similar to untangling a jumbled mess of wires. It requires a very tedious and methodical process to do so especially at the beginning. The more untangled you manage to get it, the less effort you have to put to undo the rest.
So yes, someone can sit here and tell you to let go of trying to mimic anyone else’s path (just as one example), but the irony is that they themselves only learned and internalized that lesson sufficiently by doing that very thing. So although the information is “true” and shared with the best intention, the journey cannot be bypassed intellectually. If you just completely let go right at the beginning then that jumbled mess of wires will still be there sitting in front of you, untouched.
This whole thing is like martial arts. Not one style is better than the other. Some will suit certain people better than others. You’re best off learning as many as you can. And you’re also better off learning the rules before you can know how to break them. If you resonate with certain teachers then follow them until you “outgrow” them.
I get you completely. This video is less about letting go and going it alone from the start and is more about awareness, and recognising what drives us and whether this is routed in comparison & craving. If we can recognise craving and striving on the path then we can explore what other options are available when we don't try to get what we think that other people have. ❤
I heard you saying that you were Jungian once, can you please share any synchronicity event of yours? or what you know about Synchronicity ? I love your videos 🕊❤
Yes I like Jung, he was a very cool and trippy guy. The synchronicity thing is quite detailed and maybe too big to go into in RUclips comments. If you find me on Instagram you can DM me if you wanna chat in more depth. Thanks for your support and kind words ❤️
I approach it as an aesthetic: what flavour do I like, and then, why? It's not like I want to then be them (I've never really wanted to be anything but "myself") but would I find a conversation with them entertaining. For instance, I quite like Jason Gregory's stuff, and Eckhart Tolle seems a jolly fellow, quite amusing. Alan Watts is always very satisfying. Spiro I find repelling but he's probably a nice chap, for all I know. Then there's others who just spout drivel (IMHO). Your stuff is quite engaging too 😁
Thank you! Powerful message! There is an orb at 1:52 that can be seen floating on the right side of the screen. It's faint, but it's there. I see these orbs as a good sign in these types of videos. Edit: Many orbs can be seen. Maybe, it's neither here nor there. But, I see them as reassuring.
To ask oneself if my teacher is integrous, a real deal, is a great question everyone should ask. If one is serious, one should seek a high-consciousness teacher and follow his instructions - which are always to seek within and purify oneself on all levels. The real power of a true teacher is not in his words but in his presence; his ENLIGHTENED energy field. Practice still has to be done but the teacher can help a lot.
We do not project perfection, perfection is here and now but many do not experience it. You are perfectly ignorant about your level of consciousness and apparently perfectly ignorant that there are levels of light/consciousness. Nevertheless, the truth is that levels of light in beings exist and one should "develop" theirs. Following a true enlightened teacher is of great help and that's why we have devotion towards such great beings.
BTW, It's called enlightenment for a reason because you experience the illumination of your heart when it happens; you LITERALLY see light radiating from the body. And consequently, it becomes evident that you're experiencing yourself as Allness and Oneness...
Spiritual work is being real. Ooooh, it's all love and light. No, when you see a blind man walking towards a cliff you yell STOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!. The blind man, sometimes in his pride, thinks it's rude that this guy yells at him when it's actually the greatest act of love.
Best wishes.
Oh, I almost forgot. ❤ & 💡
😘
So Great and so needing to be said! Well done Simon. Hope you are well. 🙏💞🤗
I know that I don’t have any control over anything. I know that I don’t know anything. So 🤷♀️
Enilightenment is not for comparison, it's in the watching of this video. Ajahn Sumedho is 90 and has been practicing continuously since 1966 and has developed several Buddhist centers around the world and has many students who are now deep in the practice.
Ajahn sumedho is one of my precious teachers and I love him very dearly. Sadhu 🙏. The video clearly explains why comparison and striving is counter productive to freedom and enlightenment.
Yes go within. Learn from these people but dont think you have to do anything to be enlightened. It is about watching your behavior and realizing if you controll yoyrself or if you are controlled by others. If your controlled by others you arnt enlightened. Im not enlightened but i know that at least. And i know why so all i have to do is live how i think. Not easy. But possible.
Wonderful video!
Thanks for your lovely comment, glad it resonates with you ❤
@@Awakehereandnow I really did resonate with it :) because of that I have send you a person Email
Also, any thought ABOUT enlightenment or nonduality, is not IT. But that's okay.
i didn't ask myself that question 😉
😅
Enlightenment is to be enlightened to profound knowledge that goes deep into truth of consciousness, and self discipline. A connection with the universe and its consciousness.
The term enlightened can also be used on almost any subject matter. So the title "who is the most enlightened online" is literally non existent. There's no such thing.
Can one be the most enlightened to consciousness, awareness, and self? Maybe for their own person, but experiences vary and perceptive views do also.
Look at conspiracy, learning deep truths of operations that are in the shadows can be considered to be enlightened on said subject, look at religions learning every religion can be enlightening to religious context. Non duality can be a form of enlightenment. Using multitudes of perspective views simultaneously can be a form of enlightenment.
The jist of this whole comment is, enlightenment can be knowledge based upon any form of teaching, it doesn't have to correlate to spirituality, awareness, consciousness, religion, truth.
Enlightenment can also stand for understanding, meaning you deeply understand something, like self for instance, psychology, chemistry, biology, programming. It doesn't matter what. It's a extremely versatile word.
Understanding, versatility, awareness, high levels of perceptive views. Can all correlate to spiritual Enlightenment. Does one understand self, does one understand others, does one understand conditioning.
I went deep into a few things here in this comment. Using key words that holster multiple meanings.
Enlightenment is a great word if used in the correct point of view on learning/ teachings of self and bettering ones self to maximum potential. But it's also great into countless aspects even myself have not yet perceived.
Anyone can sound intuitive and smart upon learning and staying consistent on subject matters.
But to sum this up, there is simply no most enlightened individual on the internet. For instance, let's consider AI a person, ai that has access to the internet as whole. That alone can be considered the most enlightened based upon knowledge alone.
Change your perceptive view and multiply it, change it again, multiply. Continuation of such until you're able to see things as-is. Then continue to work on that, you'll only realize it's a never ending cycle of awareness, with a everso shaping view of reality. The conscious and spirit have no shape, it's like water. That everso flows based upon the mental state of self.
We can all be hallucinating in a cope like fashion looking for a gateway beyond death. But that's not entirely true, the brain is a interesting thing especially if you've experienced psychedelics that alter said brain.
Spirit and souls are real, but even that I can explain in a computer simulation state of being, we could all be hyper advanced ai for all we know.
It's about perspectives, ones that can gather things and create puzzle pieces that can come into alignment on existing alone.
However that's not true, we're in a insanely intricately conscious existence, that are microbial in size to the plane of existence we dwell upon. It's divine in nature, it was no accident. The God, the God of creation our creator.. one being that not a singular individual can even have a fraction of a microbe of understanding of. We're in a swirling vortex that's almost magical that can collapse on itself if the universe wanted to. Is that our God? Who knows, I just know 1 thing.
None but itself will ever be enlightened to what it actually is.
Perhaps not even "itself" is aware of "what" it actually is, it just is...and "then" "something" "arises" and the compulsive explaining starts again...and again...and again...Just a thought. Perhaps literally....😃
The most enlightened person wouldn’t be posting videos.
If you watch the video it kinda covers this
Thats a no-brainer, DJT is the most enlightened human EVER!! No one has ever been more enlightened, not even Jesus or Buddha! 😂😂😂
BIGLY!!!
I agree, in many ways DJT is a genius operating on a different level.
