Claims to Attainments

3rd path - vibratons and 'I' shining bright

at path 0 I learned that experience can be experienced differently. That there is perspective of mind and soul but such insights were extremely unstable. I learned how to make it last much longer.

at 1st path ability to perceive experience with soul gained enough stability to be constant mode of perception but mind strugled to how it was before and white it was impossible it struggled anyway. Soul learned art of control over mind and that started 2nd path

at 2nd path sould gained clarity and ability to choose how to perceive world. Choice to enter "watcher" perspective was made because mind had problem with all of this and so it had to see for itself once more how its struggle is pointless. After that 'epic fail of mind' mutual understanding was made that mind cannot be master and it started 3rd path

at 3rd path ego is no more trying to do anything and if it happen to manifest it don't try force itself if it is causing pain. It happily accept my help and sould happily help it. 3rd path is much more pleasurable, it's like fairy tale really with pleasure instead of pain. It's like perpetual bliss model that Daniel said is false emoticon

3rd path topic is: "healing of mind and soul". As soul I have to take care of mind and myself. Remove splinters of clinging, aversion and ignorance. When my dharma is as empty as I can make it and it make vibrations pure and strong and extremely pleasurable, like fruition despite it being DN. Without any dharma vibrations can experience itself fully. Dharma here is like rope or straitjacket, without vibration is shining bright and is happy. There is also a lot of bad dharma/dhamma from three sins and it have to be dealt with as it is what makes all pain and suffering

I wouldn't call it 3rd path but ease of which I create bliss is astounding and all I have to do is to do virtually nothing but just experience incoming vibration as fully as I can by which I mean empty my dharma or in other words disable filters of perception, allow it to flow where and how it see fit. Be it color, be is sound, be it sexual arousal, be it even sorrow and other negative emotions (like this all encompassing sense of caring and warmth of someone who says "it will be better" and not like previously "GTFO stupid vibration, I don't like you at all!"), be it anything else, even pain from bad dhamma that experienced that way "burn out" much faster because no more bad dhamma is created that way.

@Arahats and Anagamis
Does it make any sense at all?

ps. I know I said that claiming attainment didn't made sense and I didn't changed my mind about that. But some annoing vibrations (not voices - I am not crazy :wackoemoticon wanted it and it was easier to meed their demands than to reason with them, especially that there is no real harm in this other than it being lame thing to do emoticon

I don't know how the Arahats and Anagamis feel about it, but I got something out of it. Please thank those vibrations for twisting your arm! emoticon

little update on progress:
I took this process further and tried to be two of my natures at the same time. Self and no-Self that are kinda exclusive... so when I made myself to experience through them at the same time... closest thing in description I found is Nirbīja Samadhi, experience combined with self image of it and they somehow zero itself. Well, not zero, more like happy, full of Kundalini void from where all comes and to which all goes emoticon
It is self sustaining and don't need any object of concentration, everything is it's manifestation and I can do like whatever as long as I don't try to separate myself from myself. And even then I know this direct method to attain this Samadhi again so it's not really the problem.

This method feels like this method from The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment:
[quote="Buddha"]Good sons, some bodhisattvas awaken pure Perfect Enlightenment, and using the pure enlightened mind, do not attach to illusory transformation or the marks of quiescence, and fully realize body and mind both to be obstructions. Without awareness of the illumination of enlightenment (of śamatha) and without depending on all sorts of obstructions (the illusions analyzed in samapatti), they eternally transcend realms of obstruction and non-obstruction, receiving and using the world as well as body and mind, whose marks abide in the objective realm. It is comparable to the ringing sound in a bell which penetrates to the outside. Affliction and nirvana not hindering each other, they are directly enabled to produce the pliancy of cessation-extinction from within. Accordance with marvelous enlightenment and the realm of cessation and extinction is something that self and other, body and mind are unable to reach. Sentient beings and life are all just floating concepts. This expedient method is called dhyāna.
I am not really sure if this Sutra talks about what I did but I thought about method after reading this Sutra and I immediately knew that dhyāna is my way to do it and that it can only land instant enlightenment. No gradual 'extinction', that would be silly really. Anyway, other methods from this Sutra weren't as appealing, they didn't sparkle with me emoticon

I could try to describe it more but would definitely not do it justice so I will restrain myself from doing that. Let's say that problems of:
- pain of self
- gloominess of no-self (Dark Night as I see it)
- feeling of incompleteness
are all gone. Pain of self not gone because self is gone but because pain is gone. Gloominess is gone because I don't feel incompleteness anymore.
Like one famous person said: 'my vipassana problem is gone' and I would like to thank that person because it is a life saver. Keep the good work going, can't wait for MCTB2 emoticon

I attained nothing, just returned to how I should always be feeling and that is that. Title 'Enlightened' or 'Arhat' feels way to pretentious ... I guess this make me just ordinary folk with self that looks on people struggling to attain enlightenment and says: 'Get down from that tree because we humans should live on the ground. There is nothing on the top except maybe excellent way to fall down to the ground again' emoticon
