Pigonja, you still haven't given me an answer to my primary question! !!!!!!!!

How can you possibly be sure you aren't enlightened??

Balkanijan Pig said:This is nothing more than stalling because you've run out of actual points to make.🙂

I am being dead serious here.😉 😉

🙂 🙂 🙂

Good grief, I really need to give him a piece of my mind.🙂

So, you’re actually heading off to college too?

What do you mean, "you need a job for that"?

Who even goes to university anymore, and who actually passes the exams? Is it just a matter of training both the body and the mind, or is all this nonsense just a desperate scramble to put bread on the table?

Ha ha

Ha ha, nature works in mysterious ways; I'll be back in school by (date)😁

It’s quite simple, really. You clearly aren't listening to what I've been telling you for the thousandth time today:

Who am I?

You think biceps grow just because you have some burning desire and a goal? Please. You're better off sitting on your couch and waiting for a miracle to happen.

You’re far too obsessed with this physical perfection thing... go get laid and then come back when you've cleared your head.🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 😂

Who is this entity? This observer that persists through waking hours, through dreams, even during those stretches of deep, unconscious slumber? It is the silent witness to everything happening within the mind and the physical realm. It’s the thread that connects the ten-year-old version of ourselves to the fifty-year-old person standing here today. It bridges the gap between our dreams and our reality, maintaining the illusion of a single, continuous identity. And more importantly—it is the only thing capable of exerting control.

Have you ever heard of THE SINGULARITY?

You can't force yourself to be peaceful; you can only quiet the mental noise. It’s like clearing away storm clouds—the sun doesn't need you to "turn it on," it just reveals itself once the sky clears.

How exactly do you expect to settle the mind through sheer willpower and specific goals?

I'll say it again: the mind isn't actually *you*...
(And who am I to judge?)

You’re dragging me back into those abstract rabbit holes again.
I have no clue what leads to what, and frankly, I don't have the energy to waste on it.

If this makes things any clearer for you:
Consciousness is simply...

regardless of the circumstances

I’m heading to bed. My head is absolutely splitting. I only managed three hours of sleep tonight because I had to pull an all-nighter for a midterm at State University...

Goodnight.

👋 🙂 🙂

What on earth wakes you up in the morning, anyway?

It isn’t about mere desire. I spent years—quite a few, actually—neglecting my physical health. I treated my body like an afterthought, ignored it, let it stagnate. Eventually, you hit a wall where you simply have to fix things because your entire system starts failing. You can't just ignore the biological reality; you either climb or you sink. It’s identical with the mind. I find I can't stand the way it operates when I allow it to just drift aimlessly through life.

Do you honestly believe YOU are the one in control???

The mind is essentially an autonomous, self-starting machine 😉

When I’m aware, I am. But let’s be clear—I only experience consciousness through the marriage of mind and body. It doesn't function any other way.

Regarding the body??

Consciousness isn't some ghost drifting away from the physical self. It isn't separate.🙄

Deep sleep and meditative states are essentially cut from the same cloth.

So, if that's the case, how on earth are you supposed to reach the truth through mere willpower or sheer effort?

And more importantly, who exactly is this "someone" that is meant to arrive when all that's left is silence?

To philosophy is a damn joke.

There is simply no other way to put it. Language itself is shackled; our vocabulary is a prisoner to thought and this whole exhausting world of duality.

Looks like Pigg is getting worked up.

The moment you attempt to describe it, you’ve already lost the plot..

I follow your logic, really I do, but the answer remains stubbornly the same.😉 😁

Let me break this down for you:

If you're hunting for some "experience" of the truth, stop looking. Experience has absolutely nothing to do with it..

You could say: Miles reached enlightenment...

But then we have to ask—who exactly is Miles?

I lose all sense of hunger, thirst, or even the biting cold. The world goes silent. Time? It becomes a meaningless concept.

The online generation🙂 🙂

By the way, I’m not convinced existence is possible without thought. That would be like trying to exist without a physical body.

What exactly does your "possession" do to the body or the consciousness???

Then why bother eating, sleeping, moving, or doing anything at all? If there's no connection to the body, why waste any time on it?

Because that’s just how NATURE (GIVEN REALITY) works.🙂 🙂

You might grasp the concept intellectually, but I highly doubt you've ever actually experienced pure consciousness—unbound by both body and mind.

The only thing you can experience is an object. And tell me, is pure consciousness an object?

🙂 🙂

But Pigo, it seems I have no desire to hold onto dreams anymore...

When life and the mind are finally under control, everything falls into place—even your dreams. They aren't some mystical phenomena; they're just the echoes of a disciplined waking state.

My dreams? They’re perfectly organized. I don't have any.🙂 🙂

When I want to, I can even trigger lucid dreams. It’s like having a direct line to the subconscious. Whatever you desire, whatever occupies your thoughts—it all manifests right there in the dreamscape.

My dreams? A total blank. Nothing. No visions, no cinematic masterpieces, just absolute, crushing silence from my subconscious. It’s like the lights go out and nobody’s home.🙂

Maybe once you’ve actually reached some state of "enlightenment," I might consider taking you seriously. Until then? It's just mindless noise.

If I were actually enlightened... how on earth would I even begin to explain that to you?
🙂 🙂

I am no deity. I refuse to stake my entire existence on the ground beneath my feet.🙂 🙂

Or perhaps I should just rephrase the question:

It’s a bit of a stretch to say:
How can one even begin to measure the absence of enlightenment? It’s an elusive metric. You don't find it in a textbook or a diagnostic test from the Mayo Clinic. It’s more like realizing you’ve been driving a car through a fog in downtown Chicago for hours, thinking you were seeing clearly, only to realize you haven't actually moved an inch. You’re just spinning your tires in the muck. The signs are subtle, yet damning. It’s that persistent, nagging friction between your ego and reality. It’s the way you react when someone cuts you off in traffic on the I-95—that sudden, irrational surge of white-hot fury. If your internal peace is shattered by something as trivial as a stranger's incompetence, you aren't enlightened. You are still a slave to your own impulses. True awareness isn't a destination you reach after reading a few self-help books. It's the absence of the noise. If the noise is still deafening—if the constant chatter of "me, myself, and I" is still running like a broken engine in a quiet suburb—then you’re still lost in the woods.🙂 🙂

As long as you possess a body and intend to actually use it—assuming you have the self-awareness to realize it exists—you ought to maintain it.

I’ll say it again: your physical form and your thoughts are separate entities. There is no reason to waste energy trying to soothe them.

While the mind persists, one should keep it sharp; otherwise, it simply goes soft.

🙄

It’s laughable. These people are debating mind control and thought patterns—nightmares fueled by internet forums and some guy who can barely hold onto a single dream. It's pure fiction.

The dreams have nothing to do with this forum, just like this forum has nothing to do with reality.🙂 🙂

Go ahead and philosophize until you're blue in the face. Practice is what matters. Theory is just a playground for lost souls with too much time on their hands.

Practical application and enlightenment aren't even in the same zip code.🙏 🙂

Now, regarding lucid dreaming—that part actually holds water.

If you actually have techniques that work, stop preaching and just DM them to me.😉

Who's stepping up?🙂 🙂

And hit me up via DM😉 😁

Bread and bandwidth🙏 🙏 🙏
