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

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.
-
the desire to seek the beyond is a part of the ego mind. But it is like the last monkey bar before the leap.
-
It feels more as the collective mind is tired of "suffering", while the ego/self is scared to death about... well...dying.

9/ You are like an empty shell. And anyone/anything can enter and decorate it -an ideology, a belief system, an "insight". You simply do not possess the means to personally discern between things.

10/ People in the West are losing their minds because their environment denies them the possibility and elements of basic human individuation : Expression, Experimentation, Experience.
-
11/ It is more accurate to say that people are losing themselves in their minds. Their last accessible means of individuation is their mind: thus they become cerebral consumers of information.
-
True, but from a societal point of view, once you go outside the accepted standard of behaviour, you "loose it". I assume most arhants by western standards would be considered mad, as all abstractions and false realities are gone from their mind.

Interesting. In healthcare, this may be a “side effect” of the current overzealous lust for quantitative-driven “Evidence-Based Medicine.”
