Now, anyone with an eighth of mushrooms and a fast internet connection can claim to be enlightened in a couple days.
They could claim to be enlighted but i could also claim that a flaming monkey is comming out my ass, doesnt make it true. Makes me almost sick that kids even use the word enlightenment in everyday speech. Most Eastern traditions dont even permit its followers to talk about it unless they have reached a certain state where its within sight. Of couse in internet and psycedelic drugs are a great way to work on it but by no stretch of what the fuck ever is it a quick fix. Enlightenment if I may say so my self is simular to an intelectual psycedelic peak experience that is a everyday sate of being tied in with good intentions. Like MajMike said, its something we seek everyday. Some even believ that it cant be achived in a single lifetime. So be supicious about anyone who claims to be Enlightend.
