For most people, the term “Enlightenment” brings up the image of the Buddha, or a similar culturally familiar monk or saint who has awakened to their true nature.
It is at the same time seen as esoteric and mystical, as the height of personal achievement, and as not being relevant to modern, practical living.
It just so happens that all these beliefs, and then some, held by a significant portion of people, are mostly untested assumptions. Just like the untested assumption that you hold on to so strongly, that you are a separate person, apart from the rest of the world.
It helps to start at the very beginning, to get to the heart of what is Enlightenment.
Here are some offerings to bring you clarity about Enlightenment and help engender that direct experience of your true self.
