What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is your most natural state of Being which means the most pure form of you. When you take away the physical body there resonates the passion of your true self. Reaching a state of enlightenment is really pretty basic. It’s the letting go of the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs that your mind has made up for you. Fear being one of them. Fear is what we all feel from time to time and is one of the biggest stoppers that keeps us from experience life itself. When you recognize this fear within you, something inside you happens. You accept it for being there, acknowledging that this is how you feel and then something happens… You could almost laugh… In that instant you changed your thoughts. If you were asked, “What feeling would make you feel good right now?” You definitely wouldn’t say, “Fear”. You would say, “Happiness” and with this you move away from this feeling of fear and awaken to a new feeling. With this new feeling of happiness you have moved to a place that brings you to so much more. You feel better, look better, are more productive and have the things in your life that you always wished for. Money suddenly comes your way and your worries fade away. NOW you are on the road to Enlightenment. When you realize that the fear you are feeling is an emotion and you can change that emotion with your thoughts; this is the most powerful tool to Enlightenment. The mind can make you feel overwhelmed and can cover up what it feels like to be free. Some have found Enlightenment in surrender in those moments of despair and through this came to them peace… a little piece of God. Enlightenment doesn’t decipher; it comes to the sinner just as easily as it would come to the saint.
