Part 1 - creating a Foundation
We all desire ‘Enlightenment’ but few truly understand what this is. They think of it as a State of Bliss [not !], or being filled with wonderful and miraculous Powers [again, not !], or being All-Knowing and very wise [not until you achieve God-Consciousness]... So, what is this thing we all claim to want ?!?
Enlightenment is a State of Being where our Vibrations are more refined, more ‘pure’ than before
So now we can say that ‘Enlightenment is relative to a previous level of Consciousness... where this awareness of growth now leads us to desire more’...
In fact, Enlightenment is a process of unfolding, where with each step we take we desire more.
Do you ‘change’? No, you simply become more ‘you’... but not the ugly, struggling ‘you’, rather it is the emergence of a True You, a nicer version of you.
And how does this happen ? Simply because you now have more peace within you, and value this above all agitation, all petty antagonisms, all ego-status narcissism...
So, Enlightenment is Inner Peace ? Not quite... but close enough for now.
Far too many think that the only way to achieve ‘Enlightenment’ is through Renunciation, that materialism is the obstacle... that we should give up all of Life’s comforts ...
[You know, I did that for so many lives... it just doesn’t work that way. Renunciation is just poverty with another name... and ... it is an offense to God’s unlimited abundance... but more about that later.]
Many, many lineages teach that Renunciation is a most fundamental Key to Enlightenment... and perhaps for some this is a necessary course [especially if you were a gross glutton in a previous life]... but the truth is that you can have it all ... a still achieve a State of Enlightenment - it just depends on your Karma.
Ah yes, good ol’ Karma ... Actions and the consequences which I create.
So... if I have much, and I make this my life’s value, then I give materialism authority over me [i.e. it now rules me, my life, and my identity].
Yet if I have much, and use this to create abundance and prosperity not only for myself, but also for all others around me... then my identity is firmly based on generosity and sharing...
So the Karma that I create is NOT based on materialism... but how I use it.
Ok, and how does this fit in with those Vibrational Refinements we talked about before ?
Simple - Whatever I place as my ‘Center’ ... whatever I give power and authority over me... those are the Vibrations I choose for my Life.
So - if money / objects / acquisitions are the Keys for my life’s value, then my Vibrations are limited to materialism...
But, if I make sharing and giving my Center - my life’s values - then these Vibrations will lead and fulfill me and my life.
Quite simple really - it’s just a matter of choice...
So let me leave you with an easy question which will help you take the next step towards ‘Enlightenment’ -
What do you possess ... and What possesses you ... and Why ?
[Ok, so that’s three questions... guess I’m just generous that way]
We all walk this Path of Light and Wisdom together, and you are all in my heart, my beloved brothers and sisters... Namaste ...
