I know you believe yourself to be enlightened, and that you are helping others, but is it not possible that you have fooled yourself possibly? Your ideas carry with them very profound tones, but are shallow in their depth.

Does all this I-thinking bring "everlasting maximum happiness"?

goddamit you think too much. If i had a penny for every time you had an opinion..
Why not stay in the present moment.That way you'll be calm and at peace which in many ways is true happiness. Thinking too much just makes you more restless.

But the ideals you are sharing with us here, are not of Buddhist belief, and were not taught by the Buddha. They are not part of Theravada. "how to get everlasting maximum happiness" is not what Buddhism is about.
You have some interesting views and I enjoy them, but the idea that your opinion opposes that of Buddha's, shows that you are onto your own understanding of life. One that you might want to share with the world to bring them to enlightenment, but most if not all Buddhists follow the teachings of the Buddha in their search for enlightenment, more than likely you will reach naught but opposition with your views as they directly oppose the Buddhas teachings, and this is a forum dedicated to the teachings of the Buddha.
Though I suppose debate allows for deeper understanding, so the debate should be welcome. I'm just trying to say that you are not within the realm of Buddhism in your thoughts.

(Also replacing "I" with "my intention" doesn't address the problem as I see it with your claims to attainment. From what I've seen and what I understand, you are just as deluded as the rest of us)Return to General Theravāda discussion
