Hello! Can a putujana also go into the enlightenment factors at will, or can one do this only when one has the first stage of enlightenment or higher? Thank you 🙏
Good householder,
the factors of awakening, if one has not gained right view, are of course out of reach for one.
It’s possible to cultivate “fake” factors, leading to wrong liberation.
It’s importand that it’s all about right or wrong, and objectification of it’s use.
Without completing the basic developments, not having so then completed Satipatthana (or call it Saddha, or Sila), what ever factors further gained are for a wrong.
