creating a science of light, or people who have never known love creating a science of love.
Enlightenment is absolutely necessary for any understanding of what it is.
Listening to your question... the scientists are trying something which is beyond their field.
Enlightenment is not of the mind.
Enlightenment is freedom from the mind; it is transcending mind, it is going beyond mind. And all these scientists you mention are talking about mind.
Enlightenment has nothing to do with mind; it has something to do with awareness of the mind. It does not go into the details of the mind, what it consists of, how it functions, all its mechanics.
Awareness is simply disidentification with the mind; mind is left behind as a mechanism. The moment the mind is completely left behind and there is only pure awareness, just a luminosity, it is enlightenment.
And existence is not made of the stuff mind is made of, no.
Existence is made of the stuff called God; to be more exact, of godliness, which is even beyond enlightenment.
Enlightenment is beyond mind.
Mind is beyond matter.
Godliness is beyond enlightenment, and godliness is simply beyondness. Then this beyondness goes on and on with no end to it.
Any scientist who is trying to understand enlightenment without becoming enlightened is proving himself a laughingstock. It is not an object that you can study from the outside. You can study a roseflower from the outside without becoming a roseflower. Of course, it is simple -- if you yourself become the roseflower, who is going to study it?
The scientist studies objects, but enlightenment is not an object -- it is your subjectivity, it is the scientist's very soul. He cannot put it on the table and dissect it and try to find out what it consists of -- who will do it?
Science has a limitation. The limitation is that the objective world is its world. Beyond it, any scientist trying to approach the subjective world is just being a Don Quixote. He needs his nuts and bolts tightened -- or maybe loosened.
Science has no way beyond objects. Beyond objects is the world of religion, or
