    I love this guy and listen to his lectures all the time. He has not had the direct experience say Osho, Eckart, and all the rest did. Among other things, it slows one’s speech…. Translating the ineffable comes off to some as “holy”.. judge mental monkeys we can be…

    Rightly said, "The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material." We are that - we just need to scrape off our false ego built conditioning...

    True, but the image of scraping hard marble is not the appropriate one. If we exert effort to eliminate the ego, it simply becomes stronger. Only deep effortless rest can transcend either thinking or ego. This is my experience and that of my many meditation clients. Effort will always backfire.

    He looked at the world and all the people and beings in it completely differently, as he realised theres only one consciousness. Like an infinity mirror. All different expressions of the one consciousness separating a part of itself from itself in order to experience itself. Afterwards, he would empower other people to realise themselves, helps people realise who they are and help foster a more conscious interconnected world.

    After enlightenment we become more aware about the nature of things and ourselves and basically we see what is behind the scenes as if looking at everything from a mountain summit, however, even after enlightenment some character qualities such as anger, frustration, disappointment, need for love will remain but not as powerful and plentiful as before the enlightenment phase.

    But you did not explain why you think this should be a secret. My counter is the following argument: if knowledge is kept secret, then those who are ready for the knowledge will be denied it. That can't be good, just as it is not good for a small child to be denied the ability to read or calculate.
