About this listen

Is there a way to qualify a claim to enlightenment?  Are there signs of success that we can reliably use to help navigate our own inner experience and make sure we don't delude ourselves? In today's spiritual climate it has become commonplace for a teacher to claim their own enlightenment even if no other masters have recognized their attainment, making it difficult for sincere seekers to determine who is a legitimate spiritual teacher and who is just a deluded novice.  In this episode we look at some of the issues with self-proclaimed enlightenment experiences, their history in the spiritual tradition, and how to navigate the murky waters of subjective experience.
