I've been trying to interview 'enlightened' people and it's so hard because people's relationship with that word is extremely fucky. People are like "yes i am basically everything described by enlightenment but no i'm not enlightened" and I *get* it but it makes this hard

Cause I'm asking all around the internet for 'enlightened' people and people are quick to respond 'if anybody claims they're enlightened, they're wrong' and im like ok yes i understand however what words do you want me to use instead because obviously something is going on here

They are incredibly rare and generally not available for anything substantive to the merely curious.

I'd be willing to talk to people who view enlightenment as "incredibly rare", even if they don't view themselves as that, as long as they feel they know clearly what that state entails/how it's defined/what it isn't.

Yes, I've seen it and generally don't trust that paper.

I'll be announcing it on my twitter and posting it on my blog when it's done!
I should really get a mailing list going actually

You really need to read Spiritually Incorrect Enligtenment by Jed Mckenna if you haven't already.
That answered *a lot* of questions I had about enlightenment in an extremely no-bullshit way.

I started reading this and so far I'm enlightened according to him, and so are several people I've interviewed, and also his attitude is unpleasant
