Onto The Path of Enlightenment!

For those that seek what is truly on offer . . .

People will go to any lengths to become enlightened. It has been the buzz word for decades and the extremes that people will go to reach this enigmatic position are inexhaustible. Burying themselves in coffins, scarring their bodies, drilling holes into their foreheads, starvation, abdication, counting beads, bowing to the sun, denying desires, and the list is extensive.

Whether these activities work or not remains to be seen but the drive or hunger for God is real. I read about a Tibetan nun many years ago who came to the master and said, ‘Master, I have reached enlightenment!’ to which the master told her, her next step. It sounds a lot less dramatic than is portrayed in books and the many different experiences that people have claimed are enlightenment.
The beginning of all the myths regarding it stem from the source of all information – the ego. Enlightenment cannot and never will be correctly understood from the egoic mind or what we call the altered ego mindset. This mindset sees reality through a fractured lens whose pieces are connected by the personal psychological landscape of each individual.
