Most of us on this forum are probably awake at some point during the day? As I see it, an enlightened mind just stays in that state. I.e it doesn't flip back to "conceptual mind".

Very true. Sati means awareness, mindfulness or remembering. In meditation practice we develop Sati and then we need to progressively inhabit this state in as much of our daily activities as we can to progress most fully on the path.

In the Dhamma,

Matthew

I checked Swami Rama, and he's not bad indeed.
Are you familiar with Nisargadatta? He's helped me muchos.
God, I re-checked Swami Rama... and he seems terrible.

Giving endless instruction in what to learn and achieve in order to become enlightened,
what a trap!

Could a moderator please delete my approval of Swami Rama in my previous post? EDIT: DONE, SEE ABOVE
