Enlightenment

When we first start out searching for enlightenment we straight off run into a brick wall,because you can't find enlightenment by searching for it. And if you did think that you'd found it, it wouldn't be real, just an illusion. Another obstacle on the path is that we believe that everything that we see and touch is real. We believe that our ego is real and we hold on to everything. We hold on to everything...especially our thoughts.

Attachments are so strong that it can be hard for some people to give up even the smallest attachment to something. Ideally , we don't want to do anything...no searching, no wanting...no desires... no attachments...no thought......all this equals a state of being still. When we are completely still, there is nothing to take you away from awareness of God....nothing to take you away from being your true self...pure consciousness.

So we can understand that the perfect place is where there is no inside or outside. But at the moment we're all off to one side with our attachments to the external side....the physical world...the outside. We can't see the energy...the radiant consciousness. We don't see people as energy...we don't see the chakras in each others being. We don't see the energy moving between each other...we don't see each others thoughts weaving in and out of each other at the vibrational level......only because the teeter totter is completely down on the one side...attachment to and belief in the physical world, including ego and the whole illusion. There is no spiritual world to maintain a balance. There is only a lot of thought.

If you place the focus of your awareness toward the center of your being, various doors will open. Some people call this meditation. If you were in a state of no inside or outside you would be in a state of meditation. A state of being aware of your awareness, a state of pure grace. If you place your awareness on the world...your attachments will be forever more. If you place the focus of your awareness within your energy centers, you will raise yourself beyond thought, into the higher levels of being. Read The Enlightened Soul. You will burn up all attachments, all karma by being in the presence of God.

A simple thing like being aware of your breath will keep you centered, and balanced. Careful...keeping your awareness on God can be enlightening and will bring a living experience of your eternal self.
