One of the problems I had with the videos of the "awakened" on BatGap was at least the ones I saw were experiences somewhat removed from folks I met over the years especially outside the TM movement. I mentioned in that Jyotish thread the workshops and symposiums I attended where the were many such of these people who BTW didn't go around advertising they were "awakened." Probably the best thing to do if one does feel they are enlightened is to shut up about it. Just let it play out in your life. It sometimes seems that some of the TM folks finally got a taste of shakti and thought it was enlightenment instead of a rung on the ladder there. OTOH, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying one has had a taste of enlightenment. But it is an ongoing experience.... with no end. IOW, as many seekers through the centuries have found, once you've think you've "arrived" you find a few days or weeks later there is "more." ;-)
