And I have an important message for you - there is no such thing as "enlightenment", only differing degrees of understanding and perception.
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
Rajneesh admitted, while under the influence of nitrous oxide, that there is no such thing as enlightenment. I cannot confirm this event through other contacts, but I assume Rajneesh was simply stating what U.G. Krishnamurti has said all along; that the storybook fiction we accept of a perfect enlightenment, full of infallible wisdom, is a big lie.

There is no such 'thing' as enlightenment.
There is no such 'thing' as a person.
If there is 'someone' seeking 'enlightenment' then that is the problem - there is no one.
When what there is is found to be all there is that is the light.
The seeker is what needs to drop away for the true light to be seen. But if there appears to be someone seeking then the light is obscured/fragmented.
You're correct...
The belief in other than there is, is all that has to go - but the mind totally believes there is more than this.
The mind makes 'things' out of nothing. There is only ever what is happening - 'happening' is not made of things.

Nothing here is real. It's all a subliminal illusion.. now carry on with your life, because after you cease to exist everything you believed and were told was real, will fade away. And then you will understand everything
and if you don't believe me, that's fine too, because i don't care.

Enlightenment is a counterfeit which means that there MUST be a genuine.

The agenda behind it is the same stealth agenda that is hiding behind religion, to HIDE the truth...
