Enlightenment Research

Something that is missed by virtually ALL so-called self- styled commentators on "Enlightenment Research", is that the more one gets clued-in to what's really going on, the more one sees parallels between processes out-there in Life, and the inner process of awakening - that is, can "Read" Life and convert that "New information" into "New energy for awakening".



Generally, all mention made of such physical phenomena, current and past human events, is negative - pointing to some problem that should be fixed - and usually presented as examples WHY man needs to work on himself and "WAKE UP, dammit!" The more 'enlightened' such people think they are, the more they criticize what they see and experience out-there, and especially, within themselves. For such people, the world IS coming to a slow, inevitable end, just as they personally are, and if it were not for their personal efforts, all would be lost.



Ordinary men have no idea what sleep is, nor what awakening is, but a few are so irritated by that clear understanding, that they are driven to investigate those ideas further. However, there is no apparent source of information about them that is satisfying. Dictionaries and Encyclopedias are of little to NO use, nor are books, tapes, seminars of self-selected "awakened teachers". At best, all of that is as useless as yesterday's newspapers.

You move energy to higher parts of the nervous system in only one way - by experiencing New information. However, New information is not now, nor ever CAN be found in the external world. That which IS found in the external world is "has-been" information, at best info-tainment. "God is Love" is no longer an enlightening concept, nor is "Love your neighbors as yourself", nor is "Remember yourself". IF they were, you'd already BE fully conscious by now, wouldn't you? As ideas, they are fun to think about, discuss with your friends, but useless for your own awakening.



Info-tainment includes everything ever written about awakening, enlightenment, from all sources - and it has NOT the required spin-factor, to enliven, to "quicken" starving neurons. Info-tainment is pre-digested brain-food, and not worth the time it takes to chew it, read it, hear it. To those who've caught a glimpse of this, continuing to waste time in this way, simply makes them gag, and they don't DO that anymore.
