One day I woke up and after a few minutes I realised I hadn't had a thought yet. I looked around. Everything was... Different. I didn't know what was happening but everything around me had changed in quality.

It's increadible to realise that even how you see and hear things has a layer of thought on it. When that goes, things get very strange.

Some things became entirely self evident on that day:

1. Enlightenment is real

2. God exists here and now, and its nothing you can imagine (FYI I was an atheist)

3. Religions. All of them. Are a scam. All have the kernel of truth. All obfuscated by misinterpretation of the truth of enlightened experience

4. Words are hilariously poor tools to describe anything

5. Love is all pervasive

6. Nothing is happening

7. You don't exist

8. Life can go on quite easily while being enlightened.

9. More people out there are enlightened than you realise.

10. Depth perception goes away when you're enlightened. But also (and this is nuts) things are closer. Like the world turns UHD

11. This is accessible to everyone at all times

12. You have no idea how much energy you waste keeping up your sense of identity.

Exactly zero of the above requires drugs to experience.

I keep repeating this story. I need to relive it because I want to go back there.

“Religion is a scam.” — Jesus

If you could paraphrase the Bible, that wouldn’t be too far off the mark.

Exactly. The book is screaming "wake up". There is no religion. There is no secular. There is awake (Jesus, Buddha etc) and there is delusion. I used to call myself an atheist. Turns out, that's a scam too.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing everyone he doesn’t exist.

The next greatest trick was obscuring divine truth through human religion.

I heartily agree with

Man made religion obscuring divine truth. It’s all about control

The great thing about divine truth is, it doesn't matter what others are up to.

Exactly. Religion is often tyranny by another name. This has nothing to do with God.
