Note on Enlightenment: It's Sudden, Singular, Yet Also Infinite

[Hector Papi Castillo]

There's a lot of debate on whether Enlightenment is one moment, whether you're "done," if it's gradual, sudden, or if there are stages. By pure definition of Truth, the answer becomes clear.

Remember,

Truth is Infinite. Always, everywhere.

Is it sudden? The moment is sudden, but only in the sense of seeing the sun part from the clouds. Sun was always there, you just didn't see it. The only thing that was gradual was the dissipation of the clouds. Also, every moment is sudden, because you only have the previous moments to guess, but you never actually know what's going to happen (in exact detail; approximations don't count as Truth). Therefore, because Truth is infinite, the experience of it is ALWAYS sudden. See?

Is it Singular or Many? It must be Singular because Many necessarily means Incompleteness (now you understand Godels incompleteness theorems and why the Koran is so butthurt about the Trinity [which is what Muhammad was sent to clarify, 600 years after everyone misunderstood Jesus by deifing him and making him Three]).

Is it infinite? Yes, and this is what solve everyone's questions about the afterlife; will there be more sights, sounds, pleasures, and pains after this body dies? Only if there is a perceptual apparatus to experience them (i.e, another body). Otherwise there just is a pervading Awareness that can't receive anything, because it itself (Truth) is not a thing - it does not possess an apparatus. The ghost in the shell is infinite, the shell is finite. Don't confuse them (even if they are the same thing, kek kek kek).

Want to play a fun game?

Look around you right now. Your keyboard, your big toe, or even that cum-stained wad of toilet paper over there - is that Truth (or True - same question)?

The answer is always yes.

Your diritest thoughts, your greatest moments, your most mind-numbing failures. All hella true as fuck.

In The Odyssey, Odysseus tells Polyphemus the Cyclops that his name is "Nobody", then blinds him with an olive branch that's on fire. When Polyphemus tried to explain what had happened to the other Cyclops, he tells them that "Nobody did this!".

You're comparing yourself to one of the most intelligent and cunning men in Greek Mythology. In short, to quote The Avengers, "I understood that reference."

Found and copied these two pictures from another website, thought that they represented enlightenment pretty well.

I think I know what you mean, it is just difficult to grasp it when you talk to people who are not familiar with these things, it always sounds weird... I've been studying the "I" so to speak, the Atman and the Brahman, the Nothingness, the Awareness... When I applied the "I" to other beings and perhaps even other material things, I had to laugh. It was sort of realization that I am just playing with myself, with the other "I's", we are all the same, we are the same one big "I" but we can't see it because we are sort of trapped in our senses...
