Enlightenment

[The Sum of Awe]

I am enlightened by lack of worry and things to do.

Tell me what enlightens you.

I am not enlightened, but I'm working on it.

What would enlightenment be to you once you achieve it?

What would enlightenment be to you once you achieve it?

Seeing things clearly, as they are, without flawed observation. Instead of what they appear to be, which is what I did during an eight hour training course today.

When I stop defining things with labels and limiting my thoughts with language. When I become still and begin to see things without really looking and hear things without really listening. Soon, everything seems to have purpose... and ongoing, eternal purpose. Why cover it up with theology and philosophy?

But man, I still enjoy studying theology and philosophy. When you see that they all point to the same, infinite purpose... That's when I can stop thinking about where I'm going and just enjoy the scenery of this wonderful ride!

Knowledge.

Knowledge.

Knowledge won't lead to enlightenment. The application of knowledge can lead to wisdom. You must glean something from that wisdom to gain just a taste of enlightenment.

Everyone has their own path.

One of the most enlightening things I have done is to reject the concept of Enlightenment.

 

[Twig pentagram]

Enlightenment is in the mind of the identifying conscious.

It is possible that for some wisdom could be enlightening.

Being is all.

I find enlightenment comes pretty constantly when one looks at all things with unfettered honesty.

Wow, twice today I agree with you. That's got to be some sort of record.

I commend you on your exceptional clarity of thought today.

 

[Sunstone]

I take enlightenment to sometimes be a technical word denoting an experience of the oneness of all things.

 

[UncleRich]

for me Enlightenment is a unattainable just the illusion of enlightenment is the best any one can hope for
