Greetings,

A person when is "enlightened" for me is one that naturally resists the system brainwashings. I mean, every child has a "original vibe", but most become supressed by the system rules, starting this process in the family.

Of course TIME is a big differencial, it means experience. Only who pass by the time and experiences can tell in an authentical way.

An elder in a young age usually has a lot of feelings and theory, but is still not "mature".
I do respect times and processes.

Really, I'm looking for elders that I would say "I want to get old like that!"

Most of the "old" people I know today is dying in a miserable way....

"Jah Jah lead I away from the wicked..." (Trinity)

For me however, everybody teaches and everybody learns... personally I learn from nature, from my thoughts and experiences, and from all the people that I know and situations that I live, ... the whole world should be a school.

But an Elder overstands the processes of life and death, health and sickness, gratitude and misery...

WHEN ONE HAVE ANSWERS TO US, WE NATURALLY RESPECT THIS PERSON. RESPOND=RESPECT

One Love,
