ENJOY THE MEDITATION. DON’T BOTHER ABOUT ANY CONCLUSION, ABOUT ANY ENLIGHTENMENT. EXISTENCE TAKES CARE. 

People who are seekers are in a hurry. They want it to happen just now. It can happen just now, but you are preventing it by desiring it to happen just now.

Forget all about when it happens. Whenever the right time comes, existence will take care. Enjoy the meditation; don't bother about any conclusion, about any enlightenment. These things are not within your hands, you cannot do anything about them!

The spring comes by itself... and suddenly you find your old personality has melted away, and something absolutely new and fresh is born within you, and it is growing on its own. You are just a watcher - watcher of the death of the old, and watcher of the birth of the new.
But there is no need to be serious. Any seriousness, any effort, any anxiety about being spiritual is the greatest barrier. 
Just be playful.

I have found myself without any seriousness. Hence, when I say this, I say it on my own authority.”

How to Measure Consciousness With the Map of Consciousness

  Can you measure consciousness? This question always fascinated me.  Before encountering the Map of Consciousness, the only methods of measuring one’s consciousness and spiritual growth I knew of were Monitoring your personal response to life  Verification from a highly evolved teacher or enlightened being Calibrating your experiences with the ones described in ancient texts Apparently there are also some machines that measure aura’s or energies, but I’m not sure this is quite the same as consciousness. I still think these can all be valuable methods, but they aren’t exactly easy and leave lots of ambiguity. For most people, the entire experience of trying to feel good all the time and grow spiritually is a winding and at times disorienting path. If we could treat consciousness and well-being like fitness, then people would have some barometer for how they’re doing and what they can do to improve. David Hawkins  Map of Consciousness  was the first thing I’d see...

The Great Cosmic Joke Behind Enlightenment

-
The Great Cosmic Joke Behind Enlightenment   In Japan there is the beautiful story of a really great buddha, Hotei. In Japan he is called the Laughing Buddha, because the moment he became enlightened he started laughing. People asked him, “Why are you laughing?” He said, “Because I have become enlightened!” “But,” they said, “we can’t see any relationship between enlightenment and laughter. What is the point of laughing?” Hotei said, “I am laughing because I was searching for something which was already in me. I was searching the seeker; it was impossible to seek it. Where can you seek the seeker? How can you know the knower? It was like a dog chasing its own tail or you chasing your own shadow; you cannot catch hold of it. It was so ridiculous, the whole effort was so absurd! That’s why I am laughing: I have always been a buddha! Now it looks very strange that for millions of lives I remained unconscious. It seems unbelievable how I went on missing myself. Now that I have known, a...
