What is Enlightenment?
It is mindfulness as a way of being rather a principle or practice. It is the transformation of becoming something that is nothing, which makes it everything. And once as the nothingness, a consistent awareness of how incredibly significant that nothing is, fills all of reality. Because at that moment it understands its nonexistence.
You can think of this as being a part of everything. Since it is the nothing and that nothing is something, for I can see it, we will conclude that one equals zero. Am I wrong? Well, the nothing is everything, and the everything is infinite. So, whether that part of something is zero, one, or ten million, it is all the same distance or difference to infinite.
Do you see? Let me try again.
Enlightenment begins at the moment you question what is really behind those eyes of yours. And as it questions this, it begins to notice something it had never before.
Scratch your head. Oh come on, just do it. It’s not that weird.
Now notice what happened there. Reading these words to then scratching your head and back to these words. Did you see what changed? Do it again.
When you read this, reality becomes it. Existence moves and thinks as the voice in your head reads these words aloud. And then as you transition to your head for a good scratching, the awareness changes as well. For just that moment, as hand touches hair (or scalp) and moves side to side, your awareness shifts from the mind to the point of contact.
Rather than being your thoughts, you become the sensation. And then, as quick as it came, it is lost and you are back to thinking these words in the usual reality.
Enlightenment is a way of being where one is aware of their ever-changing awareness. It is an awareness that one is of reality with anything it experiences, and therefore creates, as anything else.
It is a consciousness that the I is much greater than just the mind. The true I is everything and therefore nothing.
