I don't think anyone here should be here if they are looking for enlightment. One will not be enlightened by watching youtube videos and by posting on forums.

Probably not.

Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue what enlightenment is though, and I get a bit suspicious when people suggest they do know, because it invariably ends up being either a status claim, or a carrot to goad followers with. My guess is a word, and nothing more, but who knows.

My guess is as good as yours. All I know is that people don't always talk from experience. On top of that, the internet is full of almost nothing but BS when it comes to certain things and cannot be trusted as a good source. The way I see things is that eveyone has to find the answers to their questions in a way that they do not have to rely on the internet for.

Well said AAAAA, well said. I guess this is proof of the momentum of the mind and the ego in our existence, we can't just accept the fact that we don't know until we gather enough experience and personal wisdom to make a judgment.

Just as much as some people are very drawn to other major interests and passions in life many of us also have a similar fire burning: spirituality and the metaphysical. Where we make a mistake is where we assume going around filling your head with as much "quality" stuff off of the internet as possible will really give us a big boost. It doesn't... Often the ego just grows a whole new persona and now you're different and wiser than most because you "get it" and they can't seem to. "What's wrong with them??" Lol

Anyway, the moment we start sitting with ourselves and really questioning what we truly know and what we believe or suspect, I think a good %  of the theories around the internet would lose their momentum.

However, when we choose to discuss these matters where there's still great divergence and reliance on subjective experience, tolerance for different perspectives is crucial. Otherwise it becomes a game of power like any other. Between ideology A vs ideology B etc. I guess we all know how humanity functions when that is taken to extremes, not saying that's really a danger in this circles but... food for thought?
Certain things you just gotta know to experience. Certain things you just gotta experience to know.
