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.
