You are enlightened. But if you hold onto these common perceptions, you might just not know it yet. How would you know though? Is enlightenment something you gain or something you let go of? Well, the secrets about to be let out now.
Here’s five principles you’re going to let go of on your path to enlightenment. You don’t have to, but you will…
1) Attachment to outcome.
If you think you’re going to become enlightened, you’re not. If you think you’re on the path to become enlightened, you are becoming enlightened.
The purpose is not to become enlightened. Your purpose is to live and love. Enlightenment just comes naturally. Simply practice unconditional love with people, places, and situations. This will guide you to the highest expression of yourself.
Just be love. 💝 In the best way that only you know how.
2) Individually
Neil deGrasse Tyson said that “If each dead person became a ghost, there’d be more than 100 billion of them haunting us all. Creepy, but cool.” If this were true, we’d just keep piling up spiritually, right? What’s really going on here is that he is highlighting one of the most basic forms of social conditioning–individuality.
This doesn’t mean you aren’t completely unique, because you are. There’s no other person like you. And that’s beautiful!
Individually comes from your unique connection to the universe (aka Source, God, Allah). It’s consciousness–the very basic basis of thought and the attraction of all things to one another that creates the conditions for growth and evolution. Simply, consciousness is the flow of universal love, and you, dear ones, are tapped into it.
As Nikola Tesla put it, “My brain is only a receiver. In the universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, innovation. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.”
You are your own unique channel.
Love is the broadcast.
So rather than piling up extra energy, you simply expand your consciousness channel.
You have the ability to tap into the energy of infinity–not to add it take away energy–to expand your channel of consciousness.
Everything’s connected. Yet there’s no hive mentality. One consciousness, infinite channels. And if you look at the phrase, “I am that I am” as an equation, you’ll see that “I am” on both sides actually cancel each other out. There is no “I.” Only that. And that is your process of becoming.
3) Duality
This one’s deeply engrained within our mindset. Opposites attract, right? Nope. Truth is, there are no opposites. That’s just a mental projection we give something because it’s easier for our brains to understand it that way. In quantum physics, every “charge” is a function of spin, and everything has its own spin.
Like attracts like.
The perception misconception of duality leads to polarized thinking. And you can see it expressed in religion (Heaven and Hell), sports (home and away), politics (blue and red)–and pretty much everywhere you go.
It’s easy to overcome. You simply see the big picture.
In doing so, you see beyond the “good” and “bad.”
There’s no judgment from this space. Everything is exactly as it should be. Perceiving beyond duality allows you to see the lessons underlying the judgments. You see the karma–the forward moving energy transmuting you into a more evolved you. And this takes you into a dissociated viewpoint, a frame of reference where you can see yourself as if you’re the neutral observer.
And dissociating is what’s necessary to let go of association, which becomes attachment. If you can’t dissociate yet, just repeat from number 1, that’s all. Dissociating is simply removing yourself, your attachments, and your identity.
It’s how you see the real you.
4) Passion
Dissociating leads to dispassion, a balancing force within you. Simply, dispassion means that you are not fanatical about something. And yes, many of us are.
It’s as easy as letting go…
And you’ll see the universe in all new ways.
It’s not about creating the universe to evolve into you. It’s about letting it do it on its own, naturally. There are many pathways to all of the infinite possibilities of you. Simply trust the process and be you.
Dispassion doesn’t mean you won’t have love or passion. Rather, you won’t have attachment to them.
Attachments like how people have the notion that enlightenment brings Nirvana or bliss. Or that enlightened masters experienced this. Because that’s feeding your ego-driven consciousness channel.
The Masters stumbled upon it only after letting go of bliss.
They let go of everything.
Enlightenment has nothing to do with bliss. It’s simply another viewpoint. Experience bliss, then dissociate. It’s so close that it’s right next door to the “destination” that most people associate with enlightenment.
And it’s not a destination–it’s a dissociated point of view.
Applying these principles, you’ll find that you can let go of everything as you continually evolve. Some might find resistance, simply because these are deeply rooted in your social conditioning. And more is going to come out of it. Everything we hold to be true will crumble away as even more evidence of deeper truths replace what was once held to such high standards.
That doesn’t mean it’s difficult–it’s as easy as you allow.
And simply knowing that you are on the path to enlightenment brings to you the lessons from all the experiences on this path, past, present, and future. Which brings us to the fifth principle to let go:
5) Time and Space
These are dimensions–a framework with which we use to structure our perceptions. And this invites is to an all new frame of reference. A new way to see beyond the confines humans have created for themselves in time and space.
You might think it’s linear. Time goes from past to present. And you can move through space from one point to another. It’s not. That’s just how you perceive it.
A greater understanding will take you farther.
The universe follows the principles of quantum physics, which is sometimes described as counterintuitive because it doesn’t always got our understanding. Until it does.
To move from point A to point B, and object does not take a single path. It takes all possible paths throughout the entire universe. Your mind filters the possibilities and narrows it down to what makes sense for your level of perception. You delete, distort, and generalize data to get the picture you see–the object moving along its path.
Time operates the same way. You see your timeline, while your mind is filtering this from infinite possibilities of your timeline. All possibilities exist all the time. And that’s why simply knowing you’re on the path to enlightenment is enlightenment.
There is no endpoint. There is no destination. It is the path.
Not even in death do we suddenly become enlightened. We simply ascend to higher levels of consciousness. We assess our karma from this viewpoint and enter the living again when lessons are planned. Or we continue to ascend in order to help assist and guide the living.
And also from this viewpoint, we see how everything is alive and thriving, even in conditions and environment we humans might think to be inhospitable. The challenges are there for you to change. To evolve. To continually grow.
Thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.
=D
