I am starting to see that my biggest addiction is "reaching enlightenment". It may have started with a genuine glimpse of light when I first saw the Heart Sutra. But the mind hijacked it. It becomes an idea, a goal, a belief. I try to imitate what an enlightened person would supposedly behave: no interest in worldly matters, no judgement of good and bad, awareness of what I am doing, etc. I conduct my life for the benefit of this goal, by putting most of my energy into understanding what the saints said, living in an isolated, quiet environment, quieting the mind, and so on. Even though I always know ego is the problem, I failed to see clearly that everything I did was from the ego self. The enlightenment thing has become a kind of embellishment to the self, something to distinguish my self from others. I was adding stuff (understanding, ability, character) to it rather than breaking it down.
I didn't see it partly because my teachers were also in that mode. A live, real mirror is a blessing.
I know better now what to write in SA, basically anything taking hold in my mind.
