Enlightenment signifies a state of awareness in which the Mind has transcended the boundaries where illusions are prevalent. Within the essence of The All That Is, this illuminated state exists within everyone. To “be” Enlightened simply means the Mind can see (realizes) this level of awareness.

This level of awareness feels extremely expanded and encompasses all of life. It is not specific or exclusive; it is universal and infinite much like space, which exists everywhere. It is a true feeling of being at home, most comfortable, peaceful, calm and compassionate. It is the true nature of Love.

You can use your Mind to attempt to fathom the ineffable experience. Use your imagination to visualize the following:

Imagine the joy and pleasure you receive from an orgasm – not just the climax, but also the entire experience including the build up, to the peak, to the restoration period.

Now keep that feeling in mind and imagine integrating it throughout each moment of your life. Can you do that? Can you imagine feeling the joy and pleasure every second of your life no matter the circumstances?

You might think this feeling is too powerful to operate as a human in the world. Well now imagine a funnel and at the top of the funnel, where the cylinder is the largest, is the infinite joy and pleasure that comes from the experience and at the bottom of the funnel, where the cylinder is the smallest, is your conscious Mind.

Now imagine the funnel from the largest part to the smallest widening in diameter as you work your “spiritual” muscle called realization. Eventually the smallest part of the funnel becomes as open as the largest part, thus enabling your conscious Mind to be completely unified with the level of awareness known as Enlightenment.
