[Mind's Eye] Enlightenment

The state of enlightenment , or self-realization , is simply a state
of awareness like the dream -state or deep-sleep , and can be attained
through concentration or substance - use. It is the mind which is
aware and as the mind is finite , whatever it is aware of is also
finite. The very fact that the so-called transcendental state can be
experienced through use of entheogens casts a doubt about its
spiritual nature. A person experiences such a state and when he comes
out of it is just his ordinary self. God-state cannot be experienced
by any being as it is beyond experience and can only be understood. We
find it difficult to accept that we are mortal and hence believe in
re-incarnation etc. The fact is that the " I " has nowhere to go on
the death of the organism , it is simply an attribute of life and is
no more on the death of the body , and is thus just an " illusion " .
This is , of course , my reading of the matter and can be erroneous as
my reason is not infallible and is subject to my limitations.
