Why Enlightenment and Spiritual Awakening is a Hoax

So I have been doing this for my entire life (decades) … and I am going to say what nobody seems to able to admit. The “path” (be it through buddhism or advaita etc.) isnt exactly a “hoax” but a more like a casino game. Youre not going to win, ppl can pretend they won, but everyone is pretending. Not out of malice, more like a sunk cost wishful thinking red herring sort of way. It doesnt work to solve human suffering, never has, so we can come up with excuses/mythological examples/logical jiu jitsu to move the goal post/sour grapes paradigms etc. etc. — but we cant let go of it because even after thousands of years it is all we have. The sciences/philosophy/psychology havent solved human suffering either. It would be great if we had the courage to scrap it all and pivot to new paradigms/methodologies and keep trying to find something that will Actually work (vs. just pretending like we have found a way go either transcend/tolerate the hell that is existence) but we cant stop playing the casino game, even though we know we are losing.
