You might feel there is something important you have to remember in order to be spiritual or free or enlightened.
But really, it's when you forget all that, forget that you're a person, forget the mellow drama, that truth is realised.
So forget looking to puffed up enlightened 'masters' for help.
Enlightenment IS, many times during the day. Just honor those moments, realise what they are; rest in them. Then when ''personing'' comes back in, ride the coaster. It's all you can do anyway (we're all strapped in pretty solidly).
It's just a question of how much ''you'' struggle.

I find that it's best to remember nothing. The only problem with that is that I must remember: remember nothing.
Thinking overall is the actual concern - it's our punishment, the human condition is traumatised by its capacity to think. Although most people are incapable of independent thought (but that is another concern, perhaps for another blog posting). So it's thinking which is killing us all - we're dying as a result of our thoughts. In spite of this, I am still not enlightened; I thought I would have satori by now but perhaps I am thinking about it too much.
There will be enlightenment when one stops thinking. Are the brain damaged enlightened? Are they the ones with the answers? They are pitied but are living free of thought.
Absence of thought is not enlightenment. Enlightenment is a corny term but what I think it means is freedom from the feeling and inner concept of an "I". Thinking will go on as long as we have brains; it is not a problem.
