It’s a paradoxical process: the pursuit of awakening can create distance from it, as striving intensifies the illusion of a separate self in need of transformation. When the relentless quest and self-improvement efforts cease, a direct and unembellished experience of the present moment emerges, unclouded by personal interpretation or the dichotomy of achievement and failure.
Picture's infos : Taken by American scientist and photographer Harold Eugene "Doc" Edgerton. 1960. Model : American dancer Gus Solomons.
"In 1937 Edgerton began a lifelong association with photographer Gjon Mili, who used stroboscopic equipment, in particular, multiple studio electronic flash units, to produce strikingly beautiful photographs, many of which appeared in Life Magazine. When taking multiflash photographs this strobe light equipment could flash up to 120 times a second. Edgerton was a pioneer in using short duration electronic flash in photographing fast events photography, subsequently using the technique to capture images of balloons at different stages of their bursting, a bullet during its impact with an apple, or using multiflash to track the motion of a devil stick, for example." (from his wikipedia)
the problem with the reality you talk about is it is fleeting.
thou enlightened one, heralding reality as the absolute, isn't it funny that reality keeps morphing and you keep reacting and you have no control over it, and yet you proclaim you are 'enlightened

I have never claimed I am enlightened
yep but you mentioned everyone is enlightened as that's the only reality. enlightened and not enlightened are equivalent
I never said “everyone is enlightened”. I said enlightenment is always the case. Enlightenment doesn’t happen to a person.
