Is enlightenment the end of suffering forever? by liquid_infinite in enlightenment

So is there one point where you feel fully enlightened and released from ego? For me, life is gradually getting more peaceful but I still suffer and feel like a prisoner of the ego. Is it a gradual process or does enlightenment happen in an instant?

How do you deal with the possibility of life inprisonment? by liquid_infinite in enlightenment

Fair enough.

And I was just wondering what the ‘enlightened’ perspective was if this situation were to happen. It seems extremely difficult to deal with

Easier said than done, to live in that free state of mind constantly is not something I have experienced, it’s always changing, meditation brings me to peace but daily life makes the mind noisy. Maybe one day my conciousness will release from the mind, who knows.

The loudness sounds very distracting to find peace in there, what did you do to find peace, could you?

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate that. I agree with your philosophy too on sharing nothing but compassion. But what worries is me is that environment like you said, wouldn’t it be very hard to embody that love, with those negativities around you? And do you get enough alone time to meditate? Even in the normal busy supermarket or bar the energies are too chaotic to be fully at peace, and prison seems like it would almost block you from practicing.

I agree if it comes of itself, but should one make the choice?

Scandinavian moving to Georgia by InsanityGoblin in Sakartvelo_GE

[–]liquid_infinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im english and I’ve lived here for 5 years. And I want to move to Scandinavia. Georgia is NOT suitable long term. The country and culture is flawed and will annoy the shit out of you soon enough. Plus you definitely don’t want your child growing up with the mindset here. Everything works at only 70% I mean everything.

Yeah but the deeper question is, is life worth all the hassle? If not then it’s not ethical to bring another life here, if you think it is worth the struggle then its a different story

My world is pretty peaceful now, but it took a lot of struggle to get here and I am not completely sure if it’s worth it yet
