Each path to enlightenment is unique, yet all the ascended masters have left guidelines of how they got there…paradoxical
I often think of the word enlightenment, and break it down into its basic components, which is “in light” So enlightenment is the process of letting light in. When understood, situations where people are confused, doesn’t someone say “let there be light”? When you have a great idea, does not the “light” bulb turn on? Darkness veils, and that offers the mystery…light takes away the mystery, gives us knowledge. So I think and enlightened mind is one in which both the mystery is accepted with knowledge at hand…paradoxical

And many more to come, the Ramtha event gave me alot of information about obtaining an enlightened mind, everyone talks about it, but few offer teachings in obtaining one. Anyone interested in Ramtha, check out Ramtha’s school of enlightenment (RSE).

Really no one can say for certain what enlightenment is, but like so many others I will define it in a way that works for me. First to be enlightened one has to leave the “ego”. This is a truth of all. Second is as Buddha says “Love Yourself and Watch, today tomorrow, always.” To be aware, awareness is a part of enlightenment. I can remember verse 8 of the Tao Te Ching ”..In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing.”
I remember the substance of life is revealed through the words of Jesus Christ “the Kingdom of Heaven is in a mustard seed.” I can listen to OSHO when he says that meditation is not the escape from reality, but the acceptance of things as they are. And lastly from the Tao Te Ching Verse 27 “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.” Betcha that last part throws you for a loop :)
