When a person is enlightened there is no me/person left but conscious/awareness remains.
There is still the name ie chris and the personality but the "I" would experience through chris but be perfectly aware that all of chris is the earthly vehicle.
What I am is formless and existed before chris.

This makes sense to me. In other words its the complete a total realization that you are infinite consciousness, connected to everything?

I have read Yogananda's autobiography and if I remember correctly he liked to call it self realization. When if at all do you think Yogananda achieved self realization?

It has been a long time since I read this book but it touched me greatly. I recommend it to everyone. I must read it again soon!

Namaste, Jia.
