Realized, Shmealized

I met a guy once who casually informed me that he's enlightened. That is, he'd realized he's not a separate entity, but, rather, the infinite consciousness underpinning it all.

So, yah, the separate entity which he isn't claims credit for this cool achievement! Hey, that's not messed up at all!

I grinned and told him "You know, that's funny. Just last night, I had a dream where one of the dream characters told me he's awake!"


There is nothing sillier than an iceberg wearing its "World Melting Championship" medal.


If you ever meet someone claiming enlightenment, you're welcome to use the dream line. Or else the iceberg line, depending on how snarky you want to be about it.
