No need to seek for something that is always here
The attention now rests on this vacant clarity
Uninvolved
Untouched
And yet
Completely taken by this enchanting beauty
Oh those eyes, those steps, those sounds
Where am I?
I’m lost, lost, lost
And forever home.

What is Enlightenment

Enlightement is the simple and direct realization of not being your body-mind but the empty Awareness whose action is living through and as all form.

This recognition happens for no specific reason, so no preparation or purification is necessary beforehand on the behalf of the apparent individual. No action in time and space can in fact bring one to the seeing of being the Eternal itself.

This realization happens by grace. Grace is always already present under any of the circumstances of life. So each moment is always the perfect opportunity to see that everything that appears is just a mirror of what is happening in Consciousness. If there is the ability to bring the reflection back to where the scene is observed, then those circumstances will serve their real purpose, to show that their witness is also their creator and that there is not in fact any separation between the dream and the Dreamer. In fact neither of these two actually exist, there is only dreaming.
