Re: Glimpses That Do Not Hold

This isn't some protocol that you follow and then there it is, my friends and I bestow on you the label Liberated.
Glimpses are not Liberation!
Self-realisation, the state of the Jnani, is Liberation.
When 99% of the time there is adhering to the illusion, and 1% there is a seeing of true nature ...

Re: Glimpses That Do Not Hold

When I look (or am posed a question) , I know there is no one home.

May I ask how the site decides who is Liberated?

Re: Glimpses That Do Not Hold

If the seeing lasts 5 minutes and the rest of the time there is no seeing, that is not liberation. Liberation is the falling away of blinders for good. At least this is my sense of the word. As far as what I expect, the answer is nothing in particular. I can only relate that there has been some ...

Glimpses That Do Not Hold

Hello,

There have been glimpses of reality, but they are rare and don't last more than 5 minutes or so. I was guided, recently actually, by a teacher, to a glimpse like this, and she was sure that it would stick if I continued to check in and look inward. Well it faded almost the moment we got off ...
