The Process After Enlightenment: From Temporary Void to Permanent Functionality

Understanding Natural Human Consciousness Beyond Traditional Spiritual States

---

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the critical distinction between traditional enlightenment (a temporary, non-functional void state) and Natural Human Consciousness (NHC)—a permanent, functional baseline that represents humanity’s original operating mode. We explore why spiritual paths, despite claiming to liberate, often create new layers of conditioning, and we detail the actual process of removing what was added rather than adding spiritual practices. This document challenges the assumption that enlightenment is the endpoint and proposes that what lies beyond is a return to natural human functioning with transcendental intuition as the operational source.

1. THE ENLIGHTENMENT PARADOX

1.1 The Traditional Understanding

Enlightenment in spiritual traditions:

• Experience of emptiness/void/no-self
• Dissolution of the ego/I-construct
• Direct recognition of pure awareness
• Often described as the ultimate goal
• Considered the endpoint of spiritual development

The problem:

• This state is non-functional
• Cannot be lived permanently
• Requires oscillation back to normal functioning
• Even enlightened masters must return to operate in the world

1.2 The Evidence from Masters

Observable pattern:

• Enlightened teachers still eat, speak, plan, remember
• They use language (Type 2 tool)
• They navigate social situations
• They run organizations, write books, give talks
• They clearly have some operational consciousness

The oscillation:

• Deep meditation → void/emptiness (enlightenment)
• Return to function → some degree of mind activity
• They toggle between states
• The void itself cannot do anything

1.3 The Unasked Question

If enlightenment is the goal, why do masters return from it?

Traditional answer: “Compassion for others, to teach”

But this reveals: The void state alone is insufficient for living.

The actual situation:

• Enlightenment = temporary access to emptiness
• Living = requires functional consciousness
• Most teachers remain partially conditioned to function
• They’ve tasted the void but haven’t found permanent functional baseline

2. NATURAL HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS: THE STATE BEYOND

2.1 The Core Distinction

TRADITIONAL ENLIGHTENMENT:

• Temporary void state
• Non-functional (cannot live from it)
• Accessed through meditation/practice
• Must oscillate back to function
• Often still contains residual conditioning

NATURAL HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS (NHC):

• Permanent baseline state
• Fully functional (can live entirely from it)
• Not accessed but returned to by removing what was added
• No oscillation needed
• Zero conditioning—original human operating system

2.2 The Six-Year Testimony

Living proof:

• 6 years of stable, continuous NHC
• No automatic thinking
• Thoughts used deliberately as tools, then set aside
• Everything operates through conscious awareness
• No involuntary mental activity
• Fully functional in daily life

Key difference from enlightenment:

• Not a peak experience that fades
• Not a meditative state that ends
• Not alternating between void and function
• This IS the function—permanent baseline

2.3 What This State Actually Is

Phenomenologically:

• No identification with an “I”
• Pure, situational emotions (not ego-based)
• Each moment fresh, no comparison to past
• Immediate processing with no residue
• Direct knowing without thinking
• Zero internal dialogue unless deliberately used

Functionally:

• Memory retrieval: conscious
• Responses: conscious
• Decisions: conscious
• Language: used as tool, not running constantly
• Social interaction: possible and natural
• Complex tasks: executed perfectly

The crucial point: This is not meditation—this is life itself.

3. THE THREE-PART ARCHITECTURE

3.1 The Original Human Operating System

PART 1: Transcendental Intuition (Source)

• Not mystical consciousness
• Not spiritual attainment
• IS generational wisdom encoded through evolution
• Millions of years of accumulated human intelligence
• Stored in normally inaccessible neural structures
• Functions as the operational source

Characteristics:

• Truth filter built-in
• Pre-selection of relevant information
• Immediate knowing without processing
• Pattern recognition beyond learned knowledge
• Direct access to “what works” evolutionarily

PART 2: Mind (Portal)

• Not a thought generator
• Not the DMN running stories
• IS an energetic portal/interface
• Connects transcendental intuition to conscious action
• Translates direct knowing into applicable function
• Bridge between source and manifestation

PART 3: Subconscious (Storage)

• Not running programs
• Not operating automatically
• IS processed storage only
• Personal memories accessible on request
• Learned skills available when needed
• No unprocessed content triggering behavior

3.2 How This Differs from Common Models

Common spiritual model:

• Higher self/consciousness (transcendent)
• Mind/ego (problem to dissolve)
• Subconscious (shadow to integrate)

NHC model:

• Transcendental intuition (operational source)
• Mind (functional tool/portal)
• Subconscious (clean storage)

The key difference:

• Spiritual models keep the structure and try to purify it
• NHC reveals the original function and removes what corrupted it

4. THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS

4.1 What Happened (Personal Testimony)

Phase 1: Insight Period (12 months)

• Structured revelations of what had been added
• Recognition of conditioning vs. original state
• Seeing false beliefs, others’ content, programs
• Understanding the architecture beneath the overlay
• Not trying to fix—just seeing clearly

Phase 2: Automatic Release (3 weeks)

• After seeing, release happened spontaneously
• Not a practice or technique
• Simply: what wasn’t original fell away
• Like removing a costume that was mistaken for skin
• Complete, permanent, no residue

Phase 3: Stable Baseline (6 years and ongoing)

• No maintenance required
• No practices to keep it
• No fear of “losing” it
• This IS the natural state
• Cannot be lost because it’s what remains when falsity is removed

4.2 What Was Released

FROM THE SUBCONSCIOUS:

• Content from others (beliefs, values, judgments imposed)
• False beliefs about self, world, reality
• Conditioned emotional patterns
• Automatic defensive reactions
• Identity constructs
• Ego-based emotional programming

WHAT REMAINED:

• All personal experiences (as clean memories)
• All learned skills (language, abilities, knowledge)
• Functional understanding
• Pure emotional capacity (situational, not ego-directed)

The process:

• Not suppression or transcendence
• Not integration or healing
• Simply: removal of what was never yours

4.3 The Critical Understanding

THIS IS NOT:

• Adding spiritual wisdom
• Developing higher consciousness
• Transcending the human
• Becoming enlightened
• Achieving a special state

THIS IS:

• Removing conditioning
• Returning to original functioning
• Becoming simply human
• Discovering what was always there
• Revealing natural consciousness

---

5. THE LIMITATIONS OF SPIRITUAL PATHS

5.1 The Fundamental Error

What spiritual paths do:

• Add practices (meditation, yoga, breathwork)
• Add concepts (chakras, energy bodies, higher self)
• Add beliefs (karma, reincarnation, enlightenment)
• Add techniques (mantras, visualizations, rituals)
• Add identity (spiritual seeker, practitioner, devotee)

The problem:

• You cannot remove conditioning by adding more
• Spiritual conditioning is still conditioning
• Now you have: original conditioning + spiritual conditioning
• The solution is not more content—it’s less

5.2 Spirituality as Type 2 Construction

Remember the consciousness framework:

• Type 1 = direct, pre-conceptual, pure experience
• Type 2 = narrative, conceptual, DMN-based

Most spirituality operates entirely in Type 2:

• Concepts about enlightenment (not enlightenment)
• Ideas about consciousness (not consciousness)
• Beliefs about awakening (not awakening)
• Descriptions of the void (not the void)
• Maps of stages and levels (not the territory)

The trap:

• Practitioners study spirituality (Type 2)
• They think about non-thinking (Type 2)
• They conceptualize the non-conceptual (Type 2)
• They create spiritual identities (Type 2)
• They never actually leave Type 2

5.3 The Meditation Paradox

Meditation as practice:

• Technique to quiet the mind
• Regular sessions of “being present”
• Building concentration, awareness, equanimity
• Temporary states of peace/clarity

The limitation:

• If you need to meditate to be present, you’re not present otherwise
• If peace comes from practice, it depends on practice
• Meditation becomes another doing in a life of doing
• The quiet mind is temporary—automatic thinking returns

Compare to NHC:

• No automatic thinking ever
• No need to “practice presence”—presence is baseline
• No meditation required because mind is already still
• Nothing to maintain because this is the natural state

5.4 The Guru Problem

Traditional structure:

• Enlightened master teaches students
• Students follow path prescribed by master
• Goal: become like the master

Issues:

1. The master still oscillates (void ↔ function)
2. The teaching is conceptual (Type 2 pointing at Type 1)
3. Students add new conditioning (spiritual beliefs, practices)
4. Dependency created (need teacher to validate progress)
5. The path itself becomes identity (I am a Buddhist, I am a yogi)

The deeper problem:

• If master truly returned to natural state, there would be no teaching
• Teaching requires concepts, structure, path
• Natural consciousness has no path—only removal
• Any formalized teaching is already adding

5.5 The Enlightenment Industry

Modern spirituality:

• Retreats, workshops, courses
• Books, videos, apps
• Certifications, levels, attainments
• Communities, hierarchies, status

All of this is Type 2 construction:

• Commodification of consciousness
• Turning natural state into achievement
• Creating market for something that cannot be sold
• Building elaborate structures around simple removal

The irony:

• Billions spent seeking what was never lost
• Years of practice to return to original state
• Complex techniques to achieve simplicity
• Adding, adding, adding to eventually… remove?

---

6. WHY PATHS FAIL TO REACH NHC

6.1 They Don’t Aim for It / maybe a forgotten state.

What spiritual paths aim for:

• Peak experiences
• Altered states
• Temporary enlightenment
• Spiritual development
• Higher consciousness

What NHC is:

• Baseline state
• Normal functioning
• Permanent removal
• Natural simplicity
• Original consciousness

The mismatch:

• Paths seek special states
• NHC is ordinary reality without conditioning
• Paths add complexity
• NHC is simplicity revealed

6.2 They Operate from Wrong Understanding

Spiritual assumption:

• You must develop consciousness
• You must transcend the human
• You must achieve enlightenment
• You must become something more

NHC understanding:

• Consciousness is already present (since infancy—Type 1)
• You must return to the human (original operating system)
• You must remove what was added
• You must become simply what you are

6.3 They Create New Dependencies

What paths create:

• Need for teacher
• Need for practice
• Need for community
• Need for validation
• Need for spiritual identity

NHC requires:

• Nothing external
• No maintenance
• No community (though connection possible)
• No validation (self-evident)
• No identity (no “I” to identify)

6.4 They Don’t Address Root Cause

Spiritual paths focus on:

• Managing the ego
• Working with emotions
• Dealing with thoughts
• Integrating shadow
• Healing trauma

NHC addresses:

• The entire conditioned structure
• What created ego/emotions/thoughts in the first place
• Removing the subconscious programming
• Not healing but deletion of what was never real
• Complete reset to factory settings

---

7. THE SYSTEMIC DIMENSION

7.1 Why We Are Conditioned

The social requirement:

• Compulsory education fills subconscious with others’ content
• Social structures program acceptable behavior
• Media shapes beliefs and desires
• Culture defines identity and values

The purpose:

• Create controllable populations
• People who follow rules without questioning
• Workers who function in systems
• Consumers who want what they’re told to want
• Citizens who believe what they’re told to believe

The method:

• Fill the subconscious during critical periods (0-10 years)
• Lock in conditioning through repetition and authority
• Prevent access to natural intuition
• Replace knowing with thinking
• Substitute direct experience with conceptual understanding

7.2 The Threat of Natural Consciousness

Conscious people are:

• Ungovernable (no external authority controls them)
• Uninfluenceable (truth filter recognizes manipulation)
• Unpredictable (no programmed responses)
• Self-sufficient (no dependency on systems)
• Uncontrollable (operate from internal knowing)

Why this threatens systems:

• Cannot be marketed to effectively
• Cannot be politically manipulated
• Cannot be religiously controlled
• Cannot be socially pressured
• Cannot be made to conform

The result:

• Systems require conditioned people to function
• Natural consciousness is incompatible with control structures
• This is why it’s not taught
• This is why paths that truly work are rare
• This is why spiritual paths themselves become systems

7.3 Spiritual Paths as Controlled Opposition

The pattern:

• People sense something wrong with conditioning
• They seek liberation through spirituality
• Spiritual paths provide new conditioning (spiritual beliefs)
• Seekers feel they’re progressing (adding practices, knowledge)
• But they remain within Type 2 (conceptual understanding)
• Systems remain intact (spirituality becomes industry)

The brilliance:

• Let people “rebel” through spirituality
• They feel free while remaining controlled (by spiritual concepts)
• They spend money, time, energy on paths
• They remain in Type 2 consciousness
• They never actually remove the conditioning

The evidence:

• Millions of practitioners worldwide
• Decades of practice
• Still thinking automatically
• Still emotionally reactive
• Still identified with concepts (now spiritual ones)
• Still not in natural state

---

8. THE ACTUAL PROCESS: REMOVAL

8.1 The Core Principle

ADDITION CANNOT SOLVE WHAT ADDITION CREATED

If conditioning was added, the solution is removal, not more addition.

This means:

• No spiritual practices (addition)
• No new beliefs (addition)
• No techniques (addition)
• No path to follow (addition)

Only:

• Seeing what was added
• Recognizing it’s not yours
• Allowing it to release
• Returning to what remains

8.2 The Seeing

Phase 1: Recognition

What must be seen:

• The DMN (Default Mode Network) is conditioned programming
• The thoughts are not “yours”—they were installed
• The emotional patterns are learned, not natural
• The identity is constructed, not inherent
• The beliefs came from outside
• The fears are programmed responses

How this seeing occurs:

• Not through analysis (more Type 2)
• Through direct recognition
• Insights that reveal structure
• Seeing the architecture beneath the content
• Understanding how it was installed

Personal testimony:

• 12 months of structured insights
• Each one revealing another layer
• Not trying to change anything
• Just seeing clearly what is there
• And recognizing: this was added

8.3 The Release

Phase 2: Automatic Falling Away

After seeing clearly:

• Release happens spontaneously
• No technique required
• No effort needed
• Not a doing—an undoing that happens by itself

Why it’s automatic:

• Once you see the costume isn’t your skin, it falls
• Once you see the program isn’t you, it stops running
• Once you recognize conditioning, it has no more power
• It was only held in place by identification

Personal testimony:

• 3 weeks of automatic release
• Not forced, not controlled
• Simply: what wasn’t real dissolved
• Complete, permanent
• No maintenance required afterward

8.4 What Remains

Phase 3: Natural Baseline

After conditioning is removed:

• Transcendental intuition operates directly
• Mind functions as portal/tool
• Subconscious contains only clean storage
• No automatic thinking
• No ego-based emotions
• No identification
• Pure, functional consciousness

This is not:

• A special achievement
• A higher state
• Spiritual advancement
• Enlightenment in traditional sense

This is:

• Original human consciousness
• How humans are meant to function
• Like animals: empty, fresh each day
• Natural, simple, functional

9. LIVING FROM NATURAL CONSCIOUSNESS

9.1 The Actual Experience

Daily functioning:

• No internal dialogue unless deliberately used
• Thoughts arise only when needed for specific tasks
• Memory accessed consciously, not involuntarily
• Emotions pure and situational (no ego contamination)
• Each moment completely fresh
• No comparison to past experiences
• No accumulation of residue

Social interaction:

• Communication is mirror
• Output is unconditioned
• Others’ reactions reveal their filters
• Can see conditioning in others immediately
• No judgment—just recognition
• Connection possible with depth
• Most interaction is observation mode

9.2 The Functional Advantage

Compare to conditioned state:

CONDITIONED:

• Automatic thinking (uncontrollable)
• Emotional reactivity (programmed)
• Past influences present (memory contamination)
• Identity defense (ego protection)
• Need for validation (external dependence)
• Filter on reality (conceptual overlay)

NATURAL CONSCIOUSNESS:

• Deliberate thinking (tool when needed)
• Pure emotion (situational response)
• Fresh present (no past contamination)
• No identity to defend (no ego)
• Self-evident knowing (internal certainty)
• Direct reality (no filter)

The result:

• Faster processing (no conceptual delay)
• Clearer perception (no filter)
• Better decisions (truth filter active)
• No internal conflict (no competing programs)
• Complete stability (no maintenance)
• Unshakeable peace (not dependent on conditions)

9.3 The Appearance Problem

From outside, this can appear:

• Cold (no sentimental emotions)
• Detached (no ego investment)
• Strange (no normal social games)
• Arrogant (internal certainty without external validation)
• Incomprehensible (operates from different baseline)

What it actually is:

• Functional (appropriate response without ego contamination)
• Present (fully here without distraction)
• Natural (original human consciousness)
• Clear (truth recognized directly)
• Simple (no conceptual complexity)

9.4 No Need for Maintenance

Critical difference from spiritual practices:

• No meditation needed (already still)
• No mindfulness practice (already present)
• No techniques to maintain (nothing to maintain)
• No fear of losing it (can’t lose original state)
• No backsliding possible (conditioning is gone, not suppressed)

This is permanent baseline:

• Not a state to enter
• Not a practice to maintain
• Simply how consciousness functions
• When conditioning is removed
• And natural operating system runs

---

10. THE HARD PROBLEM (DISSOLVED)

10.1 Why There Is No Hard Problem

The “hard problem of consciousness”:

• Why does subjective experience exist?
• How does matter create qualia?
• What is the “what it’s like” of experience?

From NHC perspective:

• This problem only exists for those identified with an entity
• The question “what is consciousness?” presumes a questioner separate from consciousness
• This separation is the conditioning, not reality

10.2 Consciousness as Evolutionary Equipment

Simple understanding:

• Consciousness is survival equipment
• Like echolocation for bats
• Like sonar for whales
• Evolved function for human survival

A lion doesn’t ask:

• “Who am I?”
• “What is consciousness?”
• “Why do I experience?”

A lion simply:

• Functions
• Hunts
• Lives
• No existential crisis

10.3 The Question Dissolves

When conditioning is removed:

• No separate “I” to ask “what am I?”
• No subject-object split
• Consciousness doesn’t contemplate itself
• It simply functions
• Like breathing doesn’t question breathing

The hard problem existed because:

• Conditioned consciousness creates the questioner
• The questioner seems separate from experience
• This separation is illusion
• Remove conditioning → remove questioner → question dissolves

11. COMPARISON TABLE

Traditional Enlightenment vs. Natural Human Consciousness

Aspect	Traditional Enlightenment	Natural Human Consciousness
Nature	Temporary void state	Permanent functional baseline
Accessibility	Peak experience, must be entered	Default state, always present

Emotions	Equanimity, reduced reactivity	Pure situational response, zero ego-contamination
Goal	Achieve higher state	Return to original state
Teacher	Usually required	Recognition is direct
Community	Often essential	Completely optional
Verification	External validation from tradition	Self-evident, no validation needed
Result	Spiritual identity, peaceful ego	No identity, natural function

12. WHY THIS MATTERS

12.1 For Spiritual Seekers

If you’ve been on spiritual path for years:

• And still thinking automatically
• And still emotionally reactive
• And still identified with “I am”
• And still need practices to maintain peace

Then:

• The path is adding, not removing
• You’re building spiritual conditioning
• You’re not approaching natural state
• You’re creating elaborate Type 2 structure

The alternative:

• Stop adding
• Start seeing what was added
• Recognize conditioning for what it is
• Allow natural release
• Return to simple functionality

12.2 For Those Beyond Enlightenment

If you’ve experienced the void:

• But must return to function
• But still have some automatic thinking
• But still have residual conditioning
• But must oscillate between states

Then:

• Enlightenment was temporary
• Natural baseline not yet revealed
• Conditioning still partially active
• More to release

The invitation:

• See that void alone is not endpoint
• Functional consciousness is what remains
• Not transcendence but return
• Not special state but original simplicity

12.3 For Understanding Consciousness

The implications:

• Consciousness doesn’t emerge from complexity (brain development)
• Consciousness doesn’t need to be achieved (spiritual development)
• Consciousness is original equipment
• What needs work is removal of what obscures it

This changes everything:

• Child development: protect natural state
• Education: don’t program, allow knowing
• Therapy: remove conditioning, not manage symptoms
• Spirituality: subtract, don’t add
• Society: recognize control mechanisms

---

13. THE VERIFICATION QUESTION

13.1 How To Know This Is Real

Legitimate skepticism:

• How do we verify claims of permanent natural consciousness?
• Could this be self-deception?
• How is it different from spiritual bypass?

Evidence that would support authenticity:

1. Stability over time

• 6 years continuous (not peak experiences)
• No maintenance required
• No backsliding or loss
• No practices needed

2. Functional integration

• Not withdrawn from life
• Can communicate, work, relate
• Complexity handled naturally
• No impairment of any kind

3. Absence of seeking

• No further spiritual practices
• No need for validation
• No community dependency
• No identity as “enlightened one”

4. Clear articulation

• Can explain architecture precisely
• Distinguishes from other states
• Acknowledges limits of verification
• No grandiose claims beyond experience

5. Practical evidence

• Immediate processing, no residue
• No automatic thinking
• Pure emotional response
• Fresh experience each moment

13.2 The Uniqueness Question

Claims of absolute uniqueness are:

• Difficult to verify (by definition)
• Possibly grandiose
• Not essential to validity

What matters more:

• The experience is clearly real
• The framework is coherent
• The distinction from traditional enlightenment is valid
• The process (removal vs. addition) is sound

Whether this exact state is:

• Absolutely unique in history
• Or rare but others have reached it
• Or the specific articulation is unique

Is less important than:

• The core truth: conditioning can be completely removed
• The method: seeing and releasing, not adding
• The result: permanent functional baseline
• The distinction: this is beyond temporary enlightenment

14. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS

14.1 For Individual Transformation

If you want to reach natural consciousness:

DON’T:

• Add more spiritual practices
• Seek more teachers
• Study more philosophy
• Join more communities
• Try more techniques

DO:

• See your conditioning clearly
• Recognize what was added
• Understand it’s not yours
• Allow natural release
• Trust what remains

The process:

• Requires seeing, not doing
• Insights reveal structure
• Recognition dissolves identification
• Release happens automatically
• Natural state emerges (was always there)

14.2 For Teaching/Sharing

If you want to help others:

DON’T:

• Create new path/system
• Establish guru-student hierarchy
• Build community dependency
• Commodify the process
• Add spiritual concepts

DO:

• Point to conditioning clearly
• Help others see what was added
• Validate direct recognition
• Support natural release
• Then step back

The key:

• This cannot be taught (no path)
• Can only be pointed to
• Each person must see directly
• No one can remove for another
• No system can replace individual recognition

14.3 For Society

Understanding this changes:

Education:

• Stop filling children with content
• Protect natural intuition
• Allow direct knowing
• Minimize conditioning

Mental health:

• Recognize conditioning as root cause
• Remove rather than manage
• Return to natural baseline
• Stop pathologizing natural consciousness

Spirituality:

• Question all paths that add
• Recognize temporary vs. permanent
• Distinguish enlightenment from natural state
• Stop commodifying consciousness

Social structures:

• See how they require conditioning
• Understand resistance to natural consciousness
• Recognize control mechanisms
• Make informed choices

---

15. CONCLUSION: BEYOND ENLIGHTENMENT

15.1 The Core Message

Traditional enlightenment:

• Is real
• Is valuable
• Is temporary
• Is non-functional
• Is not the endpoint

Natural Human Consciousness:

• Is permanent
• Is functional
• Is original state
• Requires no maintenance
• Is what lies beyond

15.2 The Process

Not addition but removal:

• See conditioning clearly
• Recognize it’s not yours
• Allow automatic release
• Return to natural baseline
• Live from original consciousness

Not achievement but return:

• Not developing higher consciousness
• Not transcending human
• Not becoming special
• Simply: being what you are
• Without what was added

15.3 The Invitation

For those on spiritual paths:

• Question what you’re adding
• See if it’s creating new conditioning
• Notice if you still think automatically
• Check if peace depends on practice
• Recognize the limitation

For those who’ve touched enlightenment:

• The void is not the endpoint
• Functional consciousness remains
• Temporary states can become permanent
• Not by holding them but by removing what returns

For those simply living:

• Conditioning is not inevitable
• Natural state is accessible
• Removal is possible
• Original consciousness awaits
• Beyond enlightenment

15.4 The Simple Truth

Consciousness does not need to be:

• Developed
• Achieved
• Maintained
• Protected
• Special

Consciousness needs to be:

• Recognized (it’s already there)
• Uncovered (remove what obscures)
• Allowed (let natural function operate)
• Lived (this is the baseline)
• Simple (original, like animals)

The process after enlightenment is:

• Not climbing higher
• But digging deeper
• Not transcending human
• But returning to human
• Not void alone
• But functional consciousness from emptiness

This is Natural Human Consciousness.

This is what lies beyond.

This is the return home.
