Awakening is like entering a new dimension.
It is not a step-by-step procedure, for it is like coming to life.
The moment you enter a new dimension you overstep a line with next step being in new conditions.
You enter a new quality, not a next quantity.
Awakening is like entering a new quality - you come to life by being awaken.
There is not more or less awakening, but simply awakening, for the moment you come to life you have exceeded death and shadow existence.
You have left the realm of death amd shadow by simply being awaken.
It is the influence of untiliarism and capitalism which work measure by measure that claim even measures in getting alive and awakening. They push individuals looking always for MORE: more awakening, more skills, more love, more obedience, more this and that.
More, more, more - always more. This means utiliarism and capitalism in it´s depth.
And I say: No, no, no.
There is only one thing: being alive without any measure...

I agree. Ramana Maharshi, a sage of India, said in effect to progress and measure your experiences, is to be trapped inside them. The Eternal Self does not "progress", it simply is. One of his proverbs was Your Duty is not to be this or that, but to Be.

This is soooo encouraging...
