When you say, “I am happy”, you are not happy, because
in this moment you have created a state of happiness.
When you are actually happy, you don't think of saying,
"I am happy", because in that moment of happiness
there is not a knower of the happiness, and you are in
your glory, your wholeness, your globality."
~Jean Klein 'Open to the Unknown'

"...So you see, any of your efforts to try to "appease" this false character,
like meditation to "calm" it, or to see "visions", to have "no thoughts", or
whatever, is nonsense. Because the "character", the "you" that is trying
to "accomplish" all this whatever... IS the problem itself!"

“It is less what one is that should matter, than what one is not. To acquire
knowledge should not be our first aim, but rather to rid ourselves of ignorance -
which is false knowledge. The qualities we possess should never be a matter
for satisfaction, but the qualities we have discarded. ”

"Enlightenment reveals that the universe emerges
spontaneously. Its emergence and pattern are
perfect in mathematics and symmetry and involve
no chance. Nothing is random, everything emerges
exactly as it has to. There is no random chance, or
evolution based on chance."

They merely contribute to understanding. They should be for us a source of stimulation,

… The Self never undergoes change; the intellect never possesses consciousness. But
when one sees all this world, he is deluded into thinking, “ I am the seer, I am the
knower.” Mistaking one’s Self for the individual entity, one is overcome with fear. If one
knows oneself not as the individual but as the supreme Self, one becomes free from fear.
The entire universe is truly the Self. There exists nothing at all other than the Self. The
enlightened person sees everything in the world as his own Self, just as one views
earthenware jars and pots as nothing but clay.
~Shankara

on one point, mystical experience is
not enlightenment. You may have
mystical experience, see God, get
abducted by aliens, receive messages

guides, the list could go on. But always
and forever, no matter what is going
on, the truth is, every experience,
mystical or ordinary is a happening of
