Many
spiritualists like to give their own definition about enlightenment.
Enlightenment comes when you realise that you are pure consciousness,
that you are not the “self-image” you have of yourself, nor your
thoughts or even your body. Because it’s fully what you already
are, you cannot “do” anything to get there, except from getting
rid of the programming that society does to you day after day.
The
reason it is so challenging to awaken to our original infinite nature
because we have been told since birth that we are our body and the
image we have of ourselves in our mind.
You don’t need for your thoughts to stop to awaken, you just need to stop identifying with them. But this is not so easy because most of us have spent a lifetime doing just that. The key is to observe them, to silently watch them. Get some space between you and the arising thought and notice that you are present before the thought, during the thought, and after the thought, so the thought cannot be you.

As
many of you already know there is good in the bad and bad in the good
in every situation. The majority of people believe that ego is only
negative but the ego is necessary for the body’s survival and is
what tells us when to run from danger or defend ourselves. However,
although we rarely find ourselves in actual physical life or death
situations, the ego approaches our psychological disturbances with
this same fight or flight response. If someone insults us or cuts us
off in traffic, the ego kicks in and feels threatened. Enlightenment
doesn't mean you will need be free of the ego. The key is to see that
we are not our ego. We can't get rid of it because it's a part of
ourselves. By observing it as it gets triggered we can start to get
some space between us and it. The more space, the less pull it has
over us. Pretty soon the ego begins to feel like a spoiled child who
is always whining and complaining because it wants what it wants when
it wants it. Rather than get angry at “the child,” we can begin
to love it and assure it that it’s safe. By not taking our ego so
seriously, we literally begin to lighten up.
When
one is awakened, it’s not that only “positive” things come your
way, rather it’s that you stop labelling things as positive or
negative because all is seen as Life unfolding exactly however it
unfolds. You begin to go with the flow. This is called ''the law of
correspondence''. You attract what you are and if there is something
in you that you can't realise it exists, the universe finds ways to
help you identify it. grow and expand by mirroring your attitude
through another person.
To
be awakened means to be fully authentic with the present moment,
however it appears. Because the enlightened being is not living in
the past or future, they fully embrace whatever thoughts, feelings,
sensations or emotions are presently arising. So, for example, if
awakened people see an animal being abused by another human being,
they may indeed cry at seeing such an unconscious act. It’s
important to realise that you cannot locate consciousness, you can
only be it. With meditation and yoga, you activate parts of your DNA
that are in the 'sleep mode' and when you become awakened, you see
the world differently, as it really is. Misleading concepts that
focus on reductive materialism have kept us in the dark about the
true nature of the human soul and its integral part in our evolution
as spiritual beings. A recent survey says that many additional realms
exist beyond the earth and in other dimensions of time and space. As
spiritual beings, we can easily access these places by lucid dreaming
and in deep meditative levels.
