TRUE enlightenment cannot happen without LIGHT, the light of god.
Did you connect with the SOURCE of enlightenment: GOD or the one who masquerades as God?
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.
Osho, Bhagwan Rajneesh, and the Lost Truth
The concept of Lucifer as the “light-bearer” for the purpose of “enlightenment” is also inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Gnosticism and Western occultism, with a primary focus of the realization of “esoteric” or intuitive knowledge, while being attributed as the true way to salvation of the soul from the impure material world and eventual goal of ascension to the “divine being”.
Likewise, although the name itself or similar terminology of “Lucifer” is not used, this is also the fundamental spiritual belief and foundational premise for most all “Eastern” religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc.

Your question seems a little hard to answer you can you simplify it please.
what is it that leads u to believe this?
I no longer have thoughts, I`m in a permanent state of meditation, I`m no longer bound or attached, I merely experience things as they are.
Do you feel that you have successfully identified your ego? That you have been able to witness the ego without contributing to it that sort of thing? This is interesting to me, what is your view on life?
I believe this is the process of analyzing your thoughts and realizing the nature of why you were thinking such thoughts, which is awakening in itself, whereby you will realize what exists and what does not exist, and that being said, the concept of an ``ego,`` is entirely related to the self, whereby your ego was doing a lot of, if not all of the work. After a while you realize you only exist in the present moment, seek truth in all matters and accept all that is, in this state of mind, there really is not much room for ego or anything else but direct perception.

"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
"The road to self enlightenment is a hard climb upwards and once you get there you'll find you really weren't going up after all, but down. I know from experience and my real enlightenment was when I found this out. Its hard to tell where your headed when darkness becomes light, and light is considered darkness. That is the great deception."

The true agenda behind Buddhism's "Path to Enlightenment" and Nirvana is to HIDE the truth.. More on this here.
Enlightenment is Satan's trick to deceive mankind to seek him as light instead of seeking the True Light: Jesus.
Enlightenment is a COUNTERFEIT which means there MUST be a genuine article.
The genuine is connecting with and walking with God (from the root meaning of the word religion)
The counterfeits are enlightenment, illumination, and ascension.
Satan always mimics what God does, ALWAYS...
He is a master of disguises.
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
This is why religion is probably his greatest masterpiece.
Light is what makes things visible or affords illumination.
Without light nothing would be visible.
This is why Jesus was hated by the religious people, He exposed the real deception of religion.

Don`t mind the trolls, any time they post a whole lot of nothing you know they`re not coming from an honest place.
The fact that there one guy who claims to know what state of mind I`m in is obviously coming from a not good place, any time someone makes such blatant illogical statements you should know right then that they`re out to lunch.
And this other guys business about dark and light and satan and jesus and oh my god.... Where is he coming from, his words are gibberish to me, I couldn`t respond if I wanted to.

Omage that sounds interesting. Could you please make a thread about it, I would like to discuss this with you but if you cannot stay on topic you`re just making this discussion confusing for everyone.
