So beautiful. 🪓🪵🪣💦 I concur with Wayne and Bala...it is Nothing - the absence of absence. And, it's like a rock no longer in your shoe that you realize is no longer there.

No big deal. And, not ironically, it's not worth seeking to acquire!

I hear you on being bothered by the term "enlightenment." I am not bugged by realization, however: the ego realizes the "me" is a phantom! 🤯

Thanks for the post - and the mention, too! 🧺

Thanks- I definitely agree that ‘realization’ has a different flavor from ‘enlightenment’. Good point.

I have collapsed both into my irritation about the specialness of it all I guess.

So true that it’s not about acquiring anything- it’s about something leaving.

Appreciate your comments!💖
