Enlighten me please with whatever you wish!

[mykil]

:idea:I feel like I need to be enlightened today and tomorrow too and on and enlightened again and again and…:Yinyangv:

I think someone should tell me something to make me more aware, something that will bring peace love and harmony to my soul.:shake:

I promise if I already know the powers that be I will only give thanks and gratitude toward the entailed subject no matter who odd it may seem, so if you say one plus one is two and I already know the answer I will still only be grateful, I promise. Although I would hope I get a little more out of it than that!

My only wish is that is comes from ones own soul, not a book that one has read! So please ENLIGHTEN ME AGAIN with whatever you may wish! Oh and BTW please do not drop LSD in my water! That is not where I am! LMAO! Give me your:2cents:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Peace and drop by to see your future at any moment, I am preparing a place by my side for you sweet cheeks!!!

I suspect that enlightenment does not result from information or a thought that someone else has given you. I think it comes from you--from your reaction, understanding, taking in of what the world gives you- be it a person, a book or a sunset. Barbara

Edward is this a trick?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thank you all so far I have been enlightened by...Muel, and this is all thus far. The wise are definitely the older versions in our society at this point!!! Our hardwire can be called to the task of updating software, from lets say XP to Vista; I wouldn’t trust Vista for atleast a few more months. Not that our time is the same, kinda like the difference between a moth and a human in time. I respect anyone that reaches such an age and has the advice she does, please tell me more tell me more!!!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Hmmmm a little light on the enlightenment department but I have the rest of my life to absorb such products before moving onto bigger and better things I suppose. I refuse to take anything in from someone that has written a books or another aspect for the sole purpose of making a quick buck, that is not where I want my nature and mind set to come from, although I am sure all that is written is not bad, I just feel it is diluted, delusional and tainted, away form more realistic values in general. <o:p></o:p>

You are not the first person to have experienced what you're experiencing. Others have gone through the same thing, and many, even as far back as Socrates, have written down what they learned. Only a very young, inexperienced person could call the great thinkers of history "delusional and tainted." If you're willing to accept advice from an older person, I am 64 years old, and I've lived a long and full life. You needn't reinvent the wheel. The closest thing to a handbook on life that I've ever read is M. Scott Peck's classic work, "The Road Less Traveled." For insight on what men want and what women want and why they have such trouble getting along, you can't beat Debora Tannen's books. Years ago I learned a lot from Sheldon Kopp's, "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him." For an understanding of the basic interactions between people, I'm a great fan of Eric Berne and his early books such as "Games People Play" and "What Do You Do After You Say Hello?" No doubt there are many more recent books that present the same or similar information (with the exception of Tannen's unique books), but I underwent my most formative years long ago, so it's the older literature that I'm familiar with.

Another piece of advice: Hang around with the right people, people who are seekers and searchers but who have not allowed themselves to fall for the many intellectual and spiritual scams that are so prevalent today. I could make you a list.

Good luck to you.

Certainly one of the important things is never to pass judgment and ignore something that presents itself to you. That which seems trite or evil or ignorant or boring still may have much to give you upon examination. For me "what presents itself" is the important clue. Much of value can be learned from experience that is less than pleasant. Feelings such as you describe are important signs that you are really on your path!! Go with them and learn from them.

[mykil]

I think I understand the importance of learning everything you must at any cost, this is apparent to me, alwayz has been. I appreciate your feelings on this point! I had an Uncle I really never liked growing up, he was a really mean sort of cop dude that was alwayz talking down to the people in our community, yet one day he said something that has alwayz stuck with me. WE were driving down the road and I engaged him in conversation and he just opened up to me, twas enlightening to say the least. What stuck with me all these years was when he told me “Son you learn things everyday, no matter if it’s from a 99 year old man or a new born baby”! So I think I must have really taken this to heart and I learn when I can from everyone I see, meet greet or even run away from!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>

This motto of learning only from people I know is a little different I think, I hate to read, I love people so… I collect art, not just any art! I collect real paintings, meaning no prints, not just any paintings, I collect original nudes. Now you say “OF COURSE YOU DO MYKIL, FOR YOU ARE MYKIL”! Well then again they are not just any nudes! These Original paintings of nude men or woman that must be painted in Sonoma County pre 1976. Now you wonder “that is pretty pacific”. Well hell it is! There is a reason for this; for it is the year I started collecting them. My philosophy is similar, I don’t want to read Socrates, or even Sheldon Kopp's, "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him."

Or anyone else’s book that is dead, or not from our own culture. Not that I don’t care what they said, well that is not true, I really don’t! I want to learn from our own! Our own little environment, our own community. This is where we live breath and die. You can go read a book and be enlighten this is wonderful, just is not me, for I can read anymore than a newspaper article without losing concentration, so I have learned to do things this way, now Willie or Meul if you want to read to me I might appreciate this, I just wouldn’t count on it! <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>
Anyway I hope you understand where I am at in my time and thank you all for paying enough attention to finish reading everything I have written. Not that it matters much, I just enjoy all of your company and hope to be enlighten every day right here on Wacco!<o:p></o:p>

[divine inspiration]

I'm with Edward.
The game of life is to learn the trick to playing. It is a game you play without knowing the rules, and you have to figure them out first, and then learn to apply them. If you become enlightened, you win. Or you win if you become enlightened...
The strategys that work are love, honesty, communication, and clear intentions. Compassion and forgiveness help too.
And probably a few other things that I can't remember right now...
As my husband just said, enlightenment is not that hard to find, it's hanging on to it that is tough!
Good luck
:Yinyangv:

[ThePhiant]

enlightenment is the least or at least the last thing you want to strife for
you already are who you are, how could you improve on that?
I'd say Mykill the Buddha, when you see him

[Hummingbear]

Your desire for "enlightenment" is just another trap. Let it go with your next breath. And your next. And your next...

[mykil]

I really hope I have achieved a since beyond trying to trap my own soul! But thank you for your keen observation!
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I believe it is more of a since of boredom with all that I see in my lifetime. I just wish to evolve into something a little more sensitive, a little more understanding and a little back to basics. I was not thinking I might discover the secrets to eternal life, or even how I might keep Ten woman all at once happy and living in the same house with me! That might take a little more than what most of you are able to elaborate! LMAO! I was just merely opening up my soul to the community at foot, and trying to get to know each other’s simplicity, or nature in general. WE have enough deep and irritating conversations to last into the next lifetime, I was more after the thoughts on how to make it all better, how to get everyone to wake with a smile on their face? LIKE ME! HE HE! I really do wake every morning with a smile on my face, and I go to sleep every night in a wonderful mood. I don’t even know why, I am just alwayz in a good mood!
<o:p></o:p>
I was enlightened an early age, but then I just quit! I assume being happy all the time was enough for me! Now I know I should have really been learning more than I have, being happy all the time is like have sex everyday with the same woman over and over and … It’s really good but at some point you have to fantasize about someone else, or it gets boring, play some new games or lose it!
<o:p></o:p>
I have experimented a little around this wonderful; community, I have tried a few different spiritual paths that I thought might enlighten me, yet they where pretty much boring as all hell. The Buddha’s are cool, just a little mild for my sense of humor, could you imagine me not saying anything what so ever unless it was for all good? I don’t think so! Tantra was an amazing experience, doing it by yourself is a little weak. I have had a few wonderful partners that really waned to join me on this journey, none really having the time! It takes Two Minimum to really satisfy Ones needs! Oh that is not selfish, One plus One Equals ONE!!!!
<o:p></o:p>
So; if I may trap my oneself, this just maybe this is what I need to continue on my journey of enlightenment! Maybe this might just be the lesson I wish to acquire! I am sure I am done letting it go, I have been letting go for eons. I think more on the lines of it’s time to take it all in and pass on the love and goodness in one’s own vision. I have alwayz been really good at passing on good will and explaining the bad so others don’t make the same mistakes in their own paths of enlightenment! Letting it all go is not an option!




Your desire for "enlightenment" is just another trap. Let it go with your next breath. And your next. And your next...
