    Subject: The problem with the belief that one is enlightened

    | The problem with the belief that one is enlightened, i.e. that one
    | understands all, or at least the basic underpinnings of all, at the
    | fundamental level,

    Is knowing that the 'truth' is, there is no truth, enlightenment ?
