I agree fuzzie

 

I have always been enlightened only my mind was telling me otherwise.

Enlightenment is a thought, the mind.

 

Now that my mind does not tell me I'm not enoightened I AM just a

JOY of being the Nothing, Silence, that my mind will never

understand because it, this Silence, is not a thought.

You're lucky. At least, you still got a mind. I lost mine. It got lost

when I went into samadhi and merged with pure awareness,

undifferentiated. The mind split and all it left me was alone. But,

I'm none the worser for it. Who needs it? That's what I say...
