What is enlightenment?
Enlightenment is not a grand and glorious, once in a lifetime, event; it’s an ongoing process of “Greater Self” discovery. Enlightenment is a progression of spiritual re-awakenings through which we become more and more aware of our spiritual nature--our True Self.
At some level of consciousness you and I ARE the creator, the source of it all. At some level of awareness, you already know this. In fact, as an individualization of God, you instinctively know all truths. Revelation is simply the revealing of a truth, previously hidden only because you were not quite ready for it.
“Consciousness” is a term often used to describe or measure the level our True Self awareness. In each exciting moment of revelation, your “ah ha” means, “Wow, I already knew that!” Each new truth we learn raises the level of our consciousness.
Our grand purpose in life is “Greater Self” discovery. And you’ve been a traveler on the yellow brick road of “True Self” discovery all your life. The problem, however, for most travelers on the yellow brick road is we haven’t realized we’re searching for the Wizard.
Most of us haven’t a clue about where we were going with our lives or why. But the awesome truth is, you ARE the Wizard and He’s not out there somewhere; He lives within your heart awaiting your discovery.
As a searcher for the meaning of life—the truth, you may want to consider the different levels of awareness, because one of them is a trap. The two levels of awareness:
- Intellectual understanding
- Experiential knowing
Learning a truth while reading a book would be a revelation, an “ah ha” moment. In that flash of insight, you’ve just acquired intellectual understanding. Learning a new truth can be exciting, but if you were hoping that new information would make a difference in your life, think again.
That new truth is like a new garden tool that you bought to aerate the hard soil in your garden. If you never get around to using it, it won’t help your garden grow bigger tomatoes. And that new truth won’t make a difference in your life until you implement it with a new BEING choice.
The ongoing enlightenment process is nothing more complicated than a series of new out-of-the-box BEING choices. Each new BEING choice requires a re-awakening of Spirit. With each new BEING commitment, you create a new way of BEING you in a brand new reality of your choice. And with each new out-of-the-box experience, you grow your consciousness.
The average person makes a new BEING choice every three or four years. In the BEING Workshop we move participants through the transformation process every 8 weeks. Some of them even double their incomes in that eight weeks! And all of them experience a quality of life change.
You see, the truth about you is that you are God at some level of your BEING. But you won’t know that—not really—until you prove it to yourself. I’d like to help you prove to yourself just how powerful you really are. How about you? Are you ready to travel the yellow brick road of self discovery and find the Wizard?
