Who Here Is Unlightened?

[Revoltingest]

Shameless bump for us unlightened ones......

Unlightenment is lower in calories than enlightenment.

So is enlightenment full of empty calories? (I never guessed that sunyata could be fattening!)
Unlightened Buddha:

Enlightened Buddha:

Ho Tei must be really enlightened!:

Tis easy to discern which of those fellows is "en" or "un".

I thought once I'd experienced enlightenment, which all the enlightenment-believers would then tell me it wasn't 'real' enlightenment, but it was to me at the time. Then everything that could go wrong in my life did and I realised I wasn't enlightened and never will be because enlightenment doesn't exist and is just another biochemical reaction that gives us a feeling of clarity and maybe associated visions.

So yeah, consider me unlightened. And I'm happier for it!

Are you unlightened?
Do you:
Fail to understand much around you?
Go thru life making bad choices, knowing that better ones are available to you?
Misread other people?
Find you're regularly misread by other people?
Indulge yourself instead of exercising discipline?

I know I am!
What other signs of unlightenment are there?

An unlightenment parable:
Two enlightened monks pass each other on a narrow path. Each glances knowingly at the other, saying nothing because they already know.
Two unlightened dolts pass each other on a narrow path. One farts. The other laughs, & murmurs "That Wirey".

It has been said that ignorance is bliss....and I'm fairly happy, so............

I can't say whether or not I am unlightened, so stop pestering me.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I am not nearly as enlightened as I used to be. But I figure if I cut back on the beer and step up the exercise I should be down to my former svelte self in no time.

This is a very unlightened perspective.

Had me a laugh, reading this. Took me several posts before I realized how old this thread was.

Question: Is it possible to go so far into unlightened, to strive too much, such that you achieve un-unlightenment? Is it truly on an unbounded finite envelope? Or is there no possibility of reaching the limits of the original unlightment?

I'm unfused here-- the opposite of fused, which, clearly, is the opposite of confused.

Now I think I just blew a 50 amp fuse, trying to sort that out...

Unlightenment is best achieved by expending little effort.

Ahhhhhh.....

Mr. Holder explains da-fine nuances of un- enlightenment and enlightenment in a unique refreshing crisp and clean style that illuminates the sacred path of achieving un-enlightenment as we all happily ride the wheel of samsara into the sunset for which we can all strive to someday follow in his footsteps.

Dammmit. I can't even do the slacker correctly.

I wouldn't sweat it. That sounds like too much work anyways.

Like I said earlier in this thread, a dim bulb won't blow out if it is never turned on or plugged in!

Dude, you describe me so very perfectly... it's as if you knew me all my life.

Is not incorrectly slacking a form of slacking too?
On the path to shibumi you are.

Yaays! Out of slackness, we redeem ourselves into even greater slackness!

I left a loaf a bread's worth of breadcrumbs in my girlfriend's bed without cleaning them up. That must be unenlightened.
