Enlightenment Experience

Have you sat with yourself, and deeply examined your innermost mechanisms? Of late I find myself doing that every quiet moment I get, and aided by where things are going in my life, I have found it to be a profoundly educational experience in uncovering old reactionary habit patterns which are often tightly bound with a strong emotional component. Often, while sitting in meditation I was slipping into an inner pattern of avoiding certain rising subtle impressions which created conflict and disturbance, instead of observing them with a pure attitude of detached witnessing.

When reflecting with eyes open, and facilitated by encounters in the outer world with people in my life, I was able to identify my inner drives and needs so starkly, honestly, and clearly, that the mere acknowledgment and recognition was enough to free me from the pain I was self-creating. You could try it too. Be patient and gentle and loving with yourself through the process. What is your fundamental drive? What are you seeking? Is it unconditional love? Or perhaps you value absolute freedom over everything else. If it is enlightenment, why so? What do you perceive to be “obstacles” to this liberating state? What can you unclutch from and accept in your life to be only the blessings of the Divine? We might not always get what we want, but we always get what we need. To be open to this amazing grace in every moment is to recognize that everything truly is perfect.
