Believers think Atheists are the ones in the dark.

My life is screwed up :/ like really but that dont make me wanna cut myself and put on tattoos and dye my hair soo much it would take barrel of water to wash it all away, and try to play gangster and badass starting fights. writing poor raps/poems expressing my hate for life and reality nor does it make me wanna smoke a led get drunk party do stupid shit and end up in prison :I Instead I keep going forward and see that my work and efforts get me a good job lots of cash and be famous one day

If you're asking me if I know more than the average human, then yes.

No its like you understand more about life.

 

[Renpatsu Dei]

The word 'enlightened' sounds bit arrongant and elitist to me so I don't really know. I guess it comes with experience, I'm still pretty young and have lived a normal life so probably not.

 

[Parrish]

No its like you understand more about life.

two things here.
1. That's kinda what I was getting at, but yeah I do.
2. Why the hell am I in your sig?

Exactly. It is arrogant to be frank. It implies you've seen the world. Most of use haven't even scratched the surface.

The way to enlightenment is long and steady. It's not a feeling, for feelings are just part of our being. Enlightenment is a state of mind. To be content with what is and what-not. It's foolish to cling onto false perceptions and feelings and wise to be conscious of what truly is.

You will need education, but not in the way teacher's often want you to. Good teachers show you the way, make nature and yourself your teacher and you will get there.

That, and breathing exercises, lot's of them... meditation....

hold right views, right intentions, speak just, act right and hold the right livelihood and right effort, mindfulness and concentration. You'll get there.

people suffer because they cling onto the ego, the idea of an self, and it makes them miserable(what else?)... to be able to see through this facade, you will feel liberated...

To stay on this liberated path will make you enlightened... You will take your time to process the world around you, instead of being another "sheep" in the flock.

Some famous people who I deem enlightened: The Dalai Lama, Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Mandela...

 

[Pavoneo]

I feel long from enlightened :|. In my opinion, we don't really know anything and it's not going to change. The "enlightened" ones are only things miniscule compared to the whole picture. Of course, what do I know? I'm not enlightened.

 

[Gyakusetsu]

No, but I've been supplementing my diet with Mercury in the hopes of attaining it. Also, I have this idea for a humongous wall.

 

[Blinkie Uchiha]

Enlightened? nah.. Being realistic, that I am. Tbh no one is enlightened because, sure we have science and faith but no one truly knows how life works or why it exists.
