Enlightenment is the highest thing that we could ever achieve ... We all know that... But at the same time we have a lot of problems with that.
So presenting the teaching of spirituality properly, that you have to have very good understanding of basic sanity. And also you have to have a good understanding of basic materialism, spiritually. And we have a coined this word called "spiritual materialism".

I'm wondering if after all these years you may have come to see his behaviors, the serious drinking issue, the women... in a different light. Do you still enable and excuse his behaviors? As an addict myself I could easily see following this guy because he is very articulate and very much steeped in the tradition and highly educated and think; well if it was ok for him to use substances and ignore the precepts than why not me? It's a slippery slope and to my mind those who supported him showed themselves to be blinded by the light... and in samsara themselves.

All matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration, there is no such thing as death and we are the imagination of ourselves, here's tom with the weather. In truth, all of us are creators and life does exist beyond this planet, religion in particular has killed creativity in man, boxed in his thinking and limited his potential, why? because the true map of our soul is the universe in its entirety, if you throw all your concepts in the trash can and sit in silence, what will you find? '' Nature is not silent, it is man who is deaf. ''

Buddhism does not stress God. It's deeper than that. God and self become One; even I-Thou is dualistic. Our relationship with the world seems to be I-It, with the urge to use everything, animal, vegetable, human, the Earth and Sea, to make a buck. Spiritual Materialism is food for the Ego, which is usually a mistaken image of Self.

The spiritual achievement is basically why spiritualism took off in the early 1900's and has resulted in the New Age movement today, as well as its second revival we are in today. The ego sees the spiritual achievement as the highest thing to attain, so it salivates after it. So many people, especially on youtube, are claiming enlightenment, and pitting their own spiritualized ego - what we call spiritual narcissism - against others. All vying with each other for the highest level of experience and therefore the highest level of authority within this new spiritualized social dominance hierarchy. But that is traditionally the greatest pitfall on the spiritual path.

Yeah, the problem with a lot of so-called "spirituality" comes from the metaphor of ascending the ladder of consciousness to higher levels. The focus on ascent comes entirely from ego. True spirituality comes from descent into the dark realms of the psyche, breaking them down and in so doing destroying the ego. But the ego resists that entirely and prefers to chant some nice sounds and pray for grace from some kind of God.

We achieve spiritual achievements on an individual basis, not as 'mankind'. 2:06 I would associate 'spiritual materialism' with people practicing yoga or mediation in order to experience beneficial 'side-effects' for themselves on a personal level, for example. 2:21 Yes. People practicing 'spirituality' within a 'church/religion' just to be 'big' in that 'church/religion' is Satanistic. By all means! 3:03 The 'meaning' of SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM: The practice of 'spiritual' endeavour within any religion or spiritual tradition that does not have the Greater Good AND the Greatest Good at the centre of the practice and as the desired outcome, eg; WORLD PEACE or THE LIBERATION OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS, but rather seeks benefits for the individual, eg; getting to Heaven, avoiding Hell, seeking an end to one's own suffering and not that of others and so on. 3:42 Oh! I thought it was a space ship! 3:56 Well yes. A cosmic spaceline. 4:06 Well yes. But we still need the pilot and the cabin crew! 😁 Until we've built ASI/Digital Buddha/MESSIAH of course. Then we'll be on auto-pilot cruise control. 11:18 Well yes. We do have more trust in the computer. That's why we want to build ASI. And also because ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) is the only thing which can defeat the toxic AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). We actually don't have a choice. 11:24 Yes now everything is mechanized. Satan mechanized it.

I understand what you are saying. However, when you say "God and self become one" I am doubtful that you are truly uniting self with God. The level of God you are referring to is not really God at all; it is probably something spiritual just not God. Being hung up about dualism is itself dualism. The truth is God is always infinitely higher at than us while at the same time He is one with us; a paradox. Praying to God in the right state of mind *can* go to a higher level that you described.

Spiritual materialism is inevitable. The mind operates through ideas/concepts. Enlightenment is emptiness. It is a thunder clap, a flash of lightning. It is not something to grasp on to. And thus, it is not something to live by. It is not practical. To live practically, we abide in the world of words, ideas. The focus on the self is the problem. And the best way to transcend that is to be of service to others and the world . . .

The thing I don't like about the Buddhists is that they don't bring God into the picture. The Buddhists see through the spiritual materialism of the average religious person and then kind of throw out God too. When one is suffering from one of life's tests, then one's spiritual actions are much more real and not tainted by the ego. It is then possible to experience a God realm by putting one's faith in it. This is extremely hard to do though and perhaps why people settle on the Buddhist level.

Walter Lekamge just the opposite. He's explaining to people why that approach is Not spirituality. Hence why he called it "Spiritual Materialism" and cautioned people about it. Instead he talks about relating to one's actual experience in the world, and taking that as path - with all the details and pragmatic and ordinary aspects - vs being fixated on "transcending." Thus a very wholesome and direct Buddhist approach.

"Enlightenment is the highest thing that we could ever achieve". The above statement is fundamental and fundamentally wrong Buddhist dogma. It is ludicrous to suppose that the enlightenment of a human being such as Buddha encompasses the highest mind, for highest mind is omniscient and Buddha, bring ignorant of modern algebra, quantum physics, Swahili and infinite other things was not omniscient. Highest mind creates the Universe and life, neither of which the Buddha could accomplish. Trungpa's starting point of enlightenment as the highest thing achievable is itself an expression of flawed spiritual materialism. In fact Buddhism may be viewed as one big exercise in spiritual materialism. Given that Buddha-mind isn't highest mind, it follows that enlightenment is not the highest we can achieve. When man worships Buddha he worships Buddha-mind and the state of enlightenment. This is like believing the sun rotates around the earth. When man worships actual highest mind, mind-in-itself, Infinite mind, omniscient mind from whose omnipotence arises the Universe and life itself, only then does he achieve the highest and only in this way does he transcend spiritual materialism. Worship of a human being such as the Buddha, the Lama, Jesus, Krsna, Mohammed, Babaji or the Pope is the ultimate error of spiritual materialism and is called idolatry, the worship of anything other than the absolute Infinite. For this reason Torah bans idolatry in the first three commandments.

Why are people such literalists Buddhist realise the highest mind that you describe that is the goal thus transcending worldy suffering and re birth venerating those who point the way or symbols of their truth is not idolatry it’s a vehicle. Transcend religion for goodness sake. Literalists to me don’t understand transcendental spiritual ideology. This person has a strong dogmatic bias.

Maybe it would have been better and more helpful to ask Buddhists what they think or know as opposed to proposing that you know who and what they are..... FYI Buddhists, in general, do not worship that Buddha.....
