  • a person has five skandhas

    First, form

    Second, feelings

    The third skandha is perceptions

    The fourth is will or volition

    And fifth is consciousness

    Definition of Enlightened; to give intellectual or spiritual light to; instruct; impart knowledge to: We hope the results of our research will enlighten our colleagues.

  • would you consider a person enlightened?

  • Enlightened beings do what is necessary .......there is no goal even in leading...which means that an enlightened is all things and can be nothing,it is just being the necessary...but putting a constraint on what an "enlightened person does and does not usually or all the time or some time"...my opinion deviates from the frequency of enlightenment

  • A lot of the numbers on my youtube channel and others too have not been changing.

  • Great video, sage. About that message problem you're having with your inbox, I've experienced that as well. And I found out that what's going on is the inbox is still counting your most recent message as a new one. So just click that message a few times, refresh the page and the inbox will be reset.

  • I missed this vid, I have been real busy.

    Another great vid, I'll respond tonight. There is a real fine line between leadership and guidance. Between aggression and subtleness. Good stuff Swordsage!

  • true

  • truth.

  • fantastic analysis.

    i dig it.

  • "Jackasses love power." Too True! LOL

  • Last comment. Did you forget to talk about that enlightened women thing?

    And, yes you should talk about this more. Find examples more examples of things that people you consider enlightened would say.

  • Huh... I didn't know I said anything about enlightened women, at least to the extent were I would talk at length about them. I do know that there are few examples of them known, sadly because of the sexism that is rampant in history.

    Oh, and I think I will make another one. This tends to be the kind of thing I like to talk about. :P

  • *LOL* I just realized something. When it sounds like I say "enlightenment and women", what I actually said was "enlightened MEN and women." I just listened to the video again, and that seems to be where the confusion is. :)

  • Haha, that's ok.

    There might be differences in between the two sexes. But we all know what they mostly are. Interesting still. Kind of like race differences. These studies are just as interesting as the differences in between plants. Only they seem to offer some . . . the excuse to be horrible. Bigots ruin everything! arrr. lol

    Cheers. Looking forward to any further thoughts.

  • Ghandi struggled.

  • Comment removed

  • The youtube thing, it happen to me for a day or two. Also happens on myspace. Idk how to fix it.

  • people mad "chirst" there leader he didnt. As you said in your vid, Most enlightened folk are rebellious, well Jesus was agents everything people held high at the time (from the religious since) even the religion they attached him too. church and all that other stuff (religion) is totally the opposite of what he was about. & the Disciples! it just to same (as you stated) that the enlightened for a short time usually teaches guides for a while and then leaves the listener to grow as they please

  • Hella true every since of it. Hard concept for most to except. On thing though Jesus was Enlightened, See I dont view him as religious people do, I am aware of the cracks the "Catholies" placed in the "word". See if we pay closer attention, he "guides" we in the religious realm see it how we wanna. Just like that man didnt clam to be GOD (the creator) just and extension of "them" (we'll get into that later) like WE ALL ARE! He reached a level of consciousness, & was urging other to do the same

  • So, this story shows that enlightened people who become famous are assassinated . . . always. Because they have power, and they don't protect themselves to the extent that a malicious dictator would.

    So, if an enlightened one doesn't have a following, to they follow things? Well they do tend to follow the system sometimes. But that doesn't mean they aren't enlightened about it all.

    I think enlightenment is more like, a mindset . . . a feeling, a way to take life as it gives itself.

  • youtube is always anoying.
