Enlightenment


No one can tell us what enlightenment is. It only has the meaning we give it. No one can tell us the path to enlightenment, because there is no path. Our experience of enlightenment is unique to each of us. It is what we want it to be.


It cannot be taught. It is fruitless to seek to acquire knowledge to achieve it. It cannot be achieved.
Only by surrendering our thoughts, judgments and beliefs can it be experienced. It is our natural state. We can recognize it by stripping things away, not by adding any teachings or belief systems.


We experience the Eternal by recognizing that it is what we are. We recognize it by surrendering and allowing. Let's surrender to the Eternal. It is our true selves. The rest is an illusion.
