A Prudent Way

Enlightened, "Freed from ignorance and misinformation" (Webster's dictionary)

Taoism "the state of being in harmony with the laws of the universe"

Buddhism "the realization of ultimate universal truth."

Scores of people are seeking this seemingly elusive state of being.
We hear these "ideals" being discussed in all the "spiritual circles" and yet, it seems no one can clearly define how to get there? It is as if it is outside of us - something to achieve. Yet, what exactly is Enlightenment? A process by which human souls convene with God, Spirit, Gaia, Allah, Jesus or the universal force? What exactly are the requirements, steps, how much time does it take, how can a person be assured the path they are following is correct? In this moment, some suggest, enlightenment is available to everyone - there is nothing to do, no condition to meet, no classes to take.

It seems that the source from which all things were created - the source from which all is,  exists now. Some say you can access heaven on earth. "The Kingdom is at Hand." 

Scientifice evidence states that in fact, given that we are all energy, and all things are connected, perhaps this illusive, or shall it be said, seemingly "exclusive ascension or enlightenment process" is not outside of us or an "experience" to be achieved through something yet to be done.   Rather, maybe it really is about a de-construct of the human ego and all the programming, that has separated a knowing, that the place referred to by all these "spiritualist" is part of who we are already. It is simply a function of remembering your spirit and your origin. Perhaps it really is as simply as living in truth and authenticity and in alignment with who we are, as humans in this lifetime. Perhaps it is simply as taking quiet time to observe, meditate, and take in the magnificence of all that is around us. Perhaps it is something that is not exclusive to the highly "enlightened" ...but rather, accessible to all at anytime a person is willing to be quiet enough to allow the connection to all that is. Animals and nature seem to already live there on a daily basis; completely at one with. In their space day by day, moment by moment. Birds, bees don't strive to be anything other than what they are and there in lies the joy. It is in "being"

The movement to become more evolved spiritually is simply a movement to return to our authenticity. To be "freed from ignorance and misinformation" that has been developed over generations and generations. To release the modalities that no longer serve, that are steeped and a result of man's super ego to control dominate and direct the masses. To live freely in peace, with acceptance of the magnificence of humanity. Ask a child how they see the world. A child is closest to the state of enlightenment that we have. The wonderment, joy, enthusiasm, compassion, creativity and awe a child possesses will help those searching for their own ascension or enlightenment. The qualities of enlightenment and state of ascension already exist in each of us if we allow ourselves to get quiet enough and remember who we are. The Simple wondrous miraculous creations of that source that we are of and from. There are many paths, and many ways to find your way back home. Just look around at nature, study a bird, a flower, a tree, the migratory patterns of animals - look into the eyes of a baby. . We are at one with it all - we are energetically connected with all creation. We knew that inherently as babies and as children - this elusive enlightenment and ascension is simply a process of returning home to who we truly are. It lies within - you are welcome to come home to your essential/authentic self, enlightenment at any time....we are all there waiting for you. Do you have the courage to do what it takes to shed that which keeps you from your bliss?
