Exploring Self-Deception and Jailbreaking the Mind
Self-deception is like playing chess with oneself, knowing all the strategies from the other side due to the non-dual reality. Jailbreaking the mind is possible, but the final leap to enlightenment comes from beyond the mind and ego. Enlightenment is frustrating as it requires awaiting the strike of enlightenment, while effort matters in increasing the odds. Self-actualization involves breaking the mind's limitations, but it doesn't guarantee immunity from self-deception. Merely pursuing enlightenment can lead to self-deception, making individuals feel invincible and righteous, highlighting the mind's sneakiness and persistence even post-enlightenment.
