Do you believe you have been enlightened before, yes or no? Please explain your answer of being or not being enlightened.
I will debate your ideas with respect, I will not critisize them. Thank You
Well let's just say that becoming enlightened never says "I have or know the Truth" with absolute certainty, and is an ongoing event that will last as long as you live.
awwwww what is it with these posts? will soemone PLEASE tell me what is being enlightend!!?? I feel so in the dark!!!
uhhh I think I missed the point. I saw you got in a discussion with the TK guy, then the forum got closed...I still dont know what this all means...guess I should go back to making cookies.
Sorry, I meant I think it would make more sense if you read from the first page. I didn't mean to post so far into the thread.
Oh Good.... you're in the Dark!!! BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH
Marine, you already started more than one thread on this subject, with almost the same wording, one of which remains open: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17013. Please do not start multiple threads on the same exact topic. This one is now closed.
yes I just put my finger in a light socket. I would say I'm pretty enlightened.
HAHAHA!
I think i have been. I don't know how it happen but everything about what I want in life and what I should do to get it just fell infront of me. It was amazing
How old are you and what were you thinking about if you don't mind adding?
I'm 18 but I've been through a lot and was depressed for a long time. I'm pretty mature for my age because I had to grow up. I was thinking about how alcohol and drugs was affecting my fture and why I couldn't let my self get close to anyone.
Very excellent insight. I believe you and think you are leaps beyond others your age and many older adults. Thank You for adding.
Yes, I have been enlightened before. After years of trying inferilty to have a child, after the sixth time, I woke up one morning (after praying all night that I was pregnant or lead me to the right path) anyway, woke up, went to doctors, found out I wasn't pregnant. Cried the whole way home, my husband said to me "life doesn't have to be created within your body, it can be created within your heart, like we are, let's look at adopting a child"
You know he was 100% right, best descision we ever made, our son is six and beautiful. I was truly enlightened at that time what love was truly about.
Excellent post, Thank You. I have nothing to argue, I think you were very enlightened from the life change of the adoption. I'm happy you shared that. Thank You
Awesome story,...I was adopted myself. Families are so much better than foster homes, So glad theirs people like you out there.
lol I'm glad you said that. I think you are right. Losing your virginity could be considered an enlightening moment in life in my belief on the right terms.
I was enlightened ever since I coined the name Panda Man. Through my metaphors, I expressed a lot of ideas in the past.
How did you get the name Panda Man? What kinda ideas? Why does your name say Pamda Man and not Panda Man? Thank You, I don't mean to seem nosey. lol
First, you could go to my profile. That would explain a lot of things. Lol.
Ideas on almost everything. I have lots of metaphors, I forgot almost all of them now. =/ Consider them as riddles.
WoW, Ok, I read your profile. I will definately say you are an individual which is good. The whole panda thing to me is a little odd, but there is nothing wrong with odd. To each their own. I also think you are brave for throwing your individual ideas out. Many people are scared to do that.
If you want to know about me, you could start with this.
Pandas live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead panda.
I'm sure you will be very confused by now.
Pandas cant type either, they get the m mixed up with the n...
I think it is more enlightening to make things simple rather than confusing people.
Buddhism. Search it.
8 paths of buddhism. Right? I dunno, perhaps I forgot.
My idea of enlightenment is more about understanding yourself than a religion.
Yeah, it was way back in the summer of 1970 on my first and last acid trip. Don't recall a whole lot now but it did enlighten me to stay away from that sheit. I do recall a walrus in the clouds with naked women and Chinese dragons.
I agree, it is very enlightening when learning from a mistake.
All the time, when I close my eyes. I see things. Not like in a weird, psycho way or anything. Just serene, vivid, beautiful. Some wisemen have said that it happens to all great film directors. They call it this wuchmacallit - Cinematographic Vision.
Maybe that is a stage, maybe the other stage is to see things with our eyes open as clear as we see them with our eyes closed.
Have been enlightened with the idea of World Peace, planted there by all the atrocities on our precious globe.
It takes seeing the bad to want the good sometimes.

This latest spat with Congressman John Lewis is another example of how Trump always comes off as a hot head with poor judgement, just what we need in the modern world.Yes, Lewis 'started it' with his statement about the President-Elect's legitimacy. Many of us of the enlightened left have pondered...

Have you ever seen something that you could not explain?In your lifetime, has there ever been an event or maybe something that you saw with your own eyes but you were unable to explain it away logically? Thank you for answering.

Still being relatively new, can someone explain what is "Panda" and what is the function of Panda?What is "Panda" and how, in your opinion, did it affect Hubpage earnings negatively?
