Hey Demi !
jump in, not a private convo
squirrel isn't feeling lonely
squirrel isn't feeling enlightened either
squirrel is happy as is !
Well then we can understand why the squirrel does not believe in enlightenment. Nothing happens by chance as they say. If you need something desperately and find it, this is not an accident; your own craving and compulsion leads you to it. It is unlikely that we will experience somethng we have no belief in or faith for.
In some musicians I have witnessed a longing, a most intimate atonement with the world and a violent wrenching loose, a burning hearkening to one's own dark soul, an intoxicating surrender and a deep curiousity about the miraculous. Without these qualities in the soul seeker it is nigh impossible to even fathom the idea of enlightenment let alone the experience.
I want to look at life like an hourglass:
when we look at the container above it is the past. when we
look at the container below is the future. the present is the
sand moving from 1 contaner to the other. when we attain
enlightenment we see the whole container: future past and present all
merge together and time is just 1 more illusion of the mind.

enlightenment is an illusion of the mind
