Hey Jo,
Wouldn't it save you alot of time if you just summed up alot of what you say into more effective communication like:
One way to consider enlightenment is as follows:
“Enlightenment is the gathering, processing, integration and utilization of information - or put another way, enlightenment is information that has been received, understood, assimilated and then acted upon.”
Utilizing or acting upon the information then is key - it does no good to simply entertain the thought conceptually - it must be acted upon in order to have enlightenment be integrated (or impregnated) and ultimately manifest in one's life.
Doing (or acting out) in the physical, connects the intellectual with the physical realm – thereby do we become whole, integrating both realms together in or within us.
*****You could have just said******
"To know, but not yet do, is not yet to know"
I admire your search for truth, keep on.
Something else I would like to share with you that might be useful in your search and writings. I notice that when you are espousing your perceptions you continually use the words we, us, everyone. Instead of using the words I, myself and me.
I know you beleive that we are all one, I beleive we are connected in one way or another as well if not just through interaction. But we "I" also have something known as independence as well. The last time I checked, I don't remember you helping to put food on my table.
You would be amazed at what you can learn about yourself when you just change all the words in your threads from us, we ,all, you, and any other word that denotes everyone, to that of pertaining to just yourself. Such as I ,me, mine, myself.
I can get a way better view and feeling for who you are and the struggles and insights you are having when I read your threads in this way.
I will give an example.
