Enlightenment Demystified

[Guest guest]

What we call enlightenment is merely an alternative way to interpret the

incessant perceptual input stream.

 

When critical mass has been reached......no longer is the pseudo-reality of the

conceptual overlay the primary reality.

 

Now the edges that used to separate things blur and the sense of being finds its

self being pulled along wherever the river is going.

 

When separate things disappear......the desire to possess them evaporates.

 

Enlightenment has infinite gradations that range from a slightly diffused sense

of self to an almost total loss of the personal identity.

 

A most pleasant lightness of being comes long with the loss of self-centeredness

that.....depending on the individual.....can range from a easy high-indifference

all the way to an almost permanent blissfull awe.

 

Oddly the spiritual search occurs in the arena in which things are the coin of

the land and it is the search itself that keeps enlightenment at bay.

 

 

Pretty funny huh?
