There are similarity's but when he woke up he was enlightened, I was depressed

I think a lot of the time we forget the basic things we've learned because once we've accomplished what we set out to do we feel the need to move on or to get better at it. I think that to do this we need to take a step back and look at what is right in front of us, not past us or behind us. You've definitely accomplished something here. Keep on posting, I'm interested in what happens.

Somehow it feels as if I have to look for a new experience rather than the same. What I learned in that brief moment yesterday evening is that nothing is ever the same, ever. I can never copy yesterday because I am in the Now. I knew this with my mind, but now I can "feel" it as well somehow. actually, I am not so sure it is gone now...
this is weird !
I still haven't given up the wanting and I applaud you for doing it. It was probably a very hard realization. This is such a strange journey eh. Every time I get close I fall behind again. I wish you all the luck.
By the way, new name change. Check it out.

I wanted to break through yesterday evening. I had meditated for an hour, and spent another whole hour on exercises and trying to get insights with lot of effort. Basically, I was fed up with it, and the wanting to reach it so badly made me actually feel a bit relieved that I didn't have to search anymore. The thought gave me enlightenment.
I think the trick also was to keep the mind busy with the road to enlightenment for an hour. I had my mind working for me instead of the other way around. Sure, it was busy, but not with "useless" thoughts. I used my mind as a way to go further. Just like an enlightened person will do. Use the mind instead of allowing the mind to use you.
Or maybe the moon was aligned just right
or it was something I ate !
Like the name btw
