PERCEPTIONS
By Neel Aakaash on 17/11/23There seems to be a theory being circulated in this forum that no one should have any perception / perspective about anything at all, in order to qualify as being "realised" or "enlightened" in a spiritual sense. That an enlightened person will not differentiate between ANYTHING, will not have value for anything over anything else....that the enlightened person cannot even see or identify any difference between anything in the universe. And this is being called as ONENESS!!!
Please share your views about this. Ofcourse please remember that if you share your views, it means you have your own perception and thereby you are declaring yourself as unenlightened (!!) according to the above theory (!!!) ....
that makes no real sense to me at all....maybe someone can clarify this issue.

It is not possible to define or describe 'universal oneness' in totality, by any way or means, other than to stay silent and still in the universal awareness. The moment one tries to define or describe its perception or experience, one has to induce duality of an experiencer or perceiver on one side and the experience or perception on the other side. This also means, all the authentic spiritual scriptures fall few steps short of the 'the ultimate existential truth' and these are bound to be ruled by the time. As far as declaration of 'un-enlightenment' is concerned, I have openly admitted it few times earlier also.
Perceptions-sensory is natural and gateway to Perceptions-intellect. Both trigger neuronal activities, thoughts. Talking of conditioning and expressions of conditioned mind-brain grounded in truth of beliefs of scriptural, popular authorities knowledge results determination and conclusion of logic. Questioning mind desires reason for acceptance for establishing truth of facts, realities. All the wonder works of Thoughts. It's outcomes are thoughts Create and thoughts Negate. Closer the realities direct perceptions nearer to enlightenment. Idealistic Outlook and public communication serves to attract and attention. None living endorsing the ideals walk the talk. Observe, understand, drop, move ahead in pursuit.
I 🤔 that perceptions are ok but very limited in nature......usually like one way or hard way or no way......usually perceptions if not understood can become tangible in nature limited though perspective.......usually perceptions can form grouping and cause clashes between groups......usually not to mind a different perspective can cause to broaden the Outlook...thanks sir
Who ever said or felt iam enlightened, for sure made a wrong assessment. That is my perception n belief
