Many seemingly loosing a grip on reality these days. Seem to me they have some basic insight experience and over interpret it badly. Your thoughts please @mistermircea

5/ People are losing their minds, and will continue to, because a place in the world, an identity, a purpose, are no longer a guarantee, no longer provided by society, externally.
-
6/ The human need for significance and meaning far outweighs the importance of any other need. Absent of the means for significance and meaning, one feels without their identity.
-
7/ The arrested development of many people in the West, coupled with the lack of external stabilizers, create an inner void, a fear, a deep insecurity. They find no ground to stand on.

8/ When your environment denies you the means of individuation, as is the case for most Millenials, you are denied the benefit of personal experience, first-hand knowledge, maturity.

This seem to be a pre-enlightenment issue (where most of us are). How would you relate it to such an assumption?
-
I don't believe in enlightenment in any conceptual way.
-
More specifically, my conceptualisation of it, the full realisation that "the ego" is a process, and when you dissolve this process, what remains is awareness and the realisation of interconnectedness. (Always struggle putting words to these "things")
-
I see your angle and respect it. My view is that any idea of enlightenment or transcending of any kind borne within the egoic paradigm belongs with it, and remains part of it. Speaking about what might lie outside it is speaking of a fourth dimension.
