"No preachings here. if that's what you want, go elsewhere. "

....how can anyone take you seriously any more?

Enjoy your "read-only" thread. Shall it continue to serve its purpose: to feed your non-enlightened ego.

"No preachings here. if that's what you want, go elsewhere. "

August: When I say preachings i mean you say 'its like this, its like that, and if you think otherwise, well there aint gonna be no discussion here because I wont reply '. This behavior seems pretty immature to me.
You say that all Enlightenment models are crap, yet you are pretty sure you have attained it, and are pretty sure what it is:
"There is no such thing as enlightenment. Enlightenment is just a word. Before "enlightenment" you'll think you are suffering. After "enlightenment" you'll know that you are simply experiencing suffering and that is not you. Does it matter? That's up to you. But sooner rather than later you'll be dead." - AugustLeo
So that's a model, too! You assume you have attained the end goal of Enlightenment and assume you know what it is and what it is not. There's no "This is my perspective, this is what I think" - instead you exclaim this stuff as if it was reality, some ultimate objective truth about Enlightenment, suffering and life. This is why I call it preaching.

Let's start over. I'm going to lock this thread and AugustLeo can start another if he wants to. But here are the rules: read-only threads are no longer allowed on the forum. If you are going to post your opinions here, you must be willing to entertain discussion from the other members. Any threads that advertise themselves as read-only will be deleted regardless of content.

Thanks, everyone, in advance, for your cooperation,
