not associated with enlightenment
Enlightenment states are tricky to communicate about. mainly because they don’t come from using words to point at them. I can’t “prove” I was there. All I have is my confidence.
You can try to interpret my experience to fit your narrative or you could take what I say at face value.
You may not like calmness in the face of stresses and calmness in the face of everything—once you have it. It would be a shame to have spent so long “getting there” (depending on your method) only to be disappointed. (There’s a joke here about Taoism too, if you successfully get the joke you might already be enlightened)
