Forum useless for enlightenment

[Ankit Gupta]

Ankit,
If intellectual understanding of delusion is the first step, what should happen next?
If conceptualization of reality is the hurdle to enlightenment, have you considered Zen, or read The Three Pillars of Zen?

The next step is to courageously examine, the concepts that bind one. A through examination of these illusions which bind will break them.

[Kevin Solway]

. . . abandon the conceptual overlay on reality.

The problem is not so much concepts, but incorrect and unjustified concepts.

The concept of an inherently existing self is an example of an incorrect and unjustified concept. But the concept of a non-inherently existing self - a self that exists purely by virtue of its appearance - is not mistaken. Rather than being laid over the top of reality, it is a part of reality itself.

There is a tendency these days for a great many people to abandon thinking altogether because they believe the authorities have somehow invalidated it.
