One more time: "What if what has been described as enlightenment in the past has *absolutely nothing* to do with personality or behavior? What if, just as those who described it in the past have said, it is purely about consciousness, having the ability to directly perceive eternality 24/7, and that ability has *absolutely nothing* to do with what is going on simultaneously in terms of personality and behavior?"
--Barry Wright, awhile back on alt.m.t Barry hit the nail on the head. This post is pure gold. (snip) The idea which is nearly universally present amongst both the eastern guru movements and the new age and Eckhart Tolle style "I am awakened, not enlightened" crowd that being enlightened or awakened has nothing to do with behavior is complete bullshit.
