@vibe_samurai: I expected enlightenment to reveal the secrets of the universe. My cat offered purring. Honestly, a strong counterproposal. “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” The peace I kept imagining at the end of some extraordinary spiritual journey showed up in an ordinary moment. Nothing solved. Nothing missing. When did you last feel that? Book a Private Clarity Call if you’d like help untangling what’s keeping you stuck. Link in bio. For more curiosity, depth, and ridiculousness, listen to the Vibe Sesh podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. #ZenWisdom #ChopWoodCarryWater #Enlightenment #Mindfulness #VibeSamurai

I've always taken that saying to mean you don't pursue enlightened to get away from life, you do it to become more present in it

[ Same wood, same water, yet never the same man. For a man who crosses a river can never cross that same river again, for neither the river nor the man will ever be quite the same. ]

In Zen philosophy enlightenment doesn't make you someone special. And you can meditate in the most mundane moments. Carrying water is all you need to do. ☯️

Within enlightenment we lose everything..our anger, our jealousy, our urgency. The only thing we gain is ourselves and we lose all the things that blocked that view

In my studies, I thought becoming enlightened was a sudden thing. And I have since realized that it is a Spectrum. I don't know that anyone can call themselves enlightened, but you certainly can be on one end of the Spectrum rather than the other and that it's a process of growth.
