Enlightenment and how to "achieve" it

[Stacey]

Enlightenment isn't a destination. It isn't something you reach of achieve. Its not a recipe that end in a magical explosion of clarity.

Its a process of unburdening and disembittering yourself. Like relaxing in kung fu. You don't "reach relaxation" you learn from it and incorporate it into your daily life to live with increasing clarity and energy. This lend to wisdom, throw away the wisdom and you are less burdened.

Like building strength in MA, then letting go of it to let body structure and technique rule, but having it if you need it.


the bottom line and essence of taoism is this.............................................. .................................................. ...............................Fu_Ck it

Is pretending to be a female in order to attract attention from flirting boys on the internet part of the path towards enlightenment?

[Ryu]

Stacey is on my ignore list so I don't have to be subjected to its usual nonsense posts. Try not to let it attrack you with the common bs keywords like "enlightenment, taoism, buddhism, ass kicking" and all those cool phrases you are attached to reading about in order to make you feel as if you are progressing anywhere in whatever it is you are trying to do.

:) Thanks, note taken Nexus :D However my simple morale, behind a troll is a person. Behind a person is a life. Behind a life is a great story.
About my attachments .... :cool:

[Silumkid]

So Ryu, since you are enlightened, how do you feel?

This is a test. This is only a test. Had we reached a thread proclaiming true enlightenment, there would probably not be any replies....:D

[Nexus]

Prana, have you been curious lately?

[prana]

Curious about ?

[Nexus]

You just answered your own question my friend :) Keep your goals in focus, you will reach them, you have much spirit.

[Apprentice]

Was that a joke? If so, i sort of just fell for it too, lol "Have you been curious lately?" "Curious about what?" "Was that a joke?"

If that wasn't a joke, i'd really like to know wut it meant

[Nexus]

It's a joke and the answer to itself, perhaps you should meditate on it? :)

[prana]

Apprentice, d'oh, i was hoping you could help me understand :D
O-well ....
Nexus, you got me big time. But it is true, I shant attach my attention so much to these words of enlightenment.

[Ryu]

Not much different. Enlightenment is cool though. I have the cosmic understanding now to say (with enlightened wisdom mind you ;) ) this:
Nexus is a weiner.

:D
Nexus, LOL, I'm only joking. :) :)
