The Hidden Dangers of Early Enlightenment

[Geoff-Allen]

Greetings fellow earthlings!

Here is a site I discovered just now in my wanderings. May be of some value or interest to some of the more curious among you?

A little taste -

I once knew a yoga teacher who would joke how awakening would never happen to her – she wasn’t far enough along the path, or didn’t know enough, or wasn’t enough.

She had this idea that awakening only happened to spiritually advanced people, or special people.

Yet, by all accounts, awakening can happen to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

Why? Because awakening is nothing special. It is merely the shift from total identification with the mind – I am my thoughts – to an experience of awareness or the field of being in which those thoughts arise – I am thinking those thoughts (and they’re likely not true). Eventually, the ‘I’ that is thinking those thoughts also disappears, leaving only perception, or consciousness, behind.

This conscious awareness is thinking (dreaming) of a warm, sunny beach; the shade of palm trees; a gentle breeze; and a boogie board.

Are you close to a beach? We have some beauts in Oz -

Yes, we have a beach, but Fall is coming. Also, there is something about a tropical beach that puts a zap on my head, like being intoxicated.

I had early unlightenment.
My dewakening has served me well.
