What is Enlightenment?

If you are interested in enlightenment, chances are you are on your path toward awakening.

See the Light!

For many, enlightenment means having knowledge and spiritual insight. Most get there from an “aha” moment.  It is generally not something you can think your way through, rather it is a feeling or a sense.

If you feel a light bulb going off in your head, chances are you had an idea, or “saw the light”. Enlightenment can be in many things, not just spirituality, but that is what we are talking about here, “waking up to God”, or remembering who you are, or finally seeing and showing your light to others.

So then, I ask again — What is Enlightenment?

For Buddhists and Hindus, it means transcending the cycle of re-incarnation, which means they can stay at the God-head after this life, and not come back to work out more karmic issues.

To me, it is being awake, knowing who you are and where you came from, and why we are all here now.  But then, I am what you would call a follower of the “new energy” or “new consciousness” that is now entering our earthly plane.  In this new energy, there is no karma, no past life issues to work out – we are simply spiritual beings here to have a human experience.

Are you awake, enlightened and enjoying your human experience?  Let us know, by posting a comment below.
