What is enlightenment?
Enlightenment is the eternal expansion of our awareness and perception, into the infinite aspect of the true self. In order to understand this, we need to see beyond the physical. I’m sure that everyone reading this has heard the terms “everything is energy” and “we are all one”, and if we believe these to be true and add to that the infinite potential of the creative force that birthed reality (God / source / the universe etc.), then this leads to only one possible outcome. This is that, as an aspect or a part of God, we are infinite beings in an infinite energetic reality and the way that we experience more of this infinite energy, is by expanding our awareness and perception of what we are.
There is actually a limit to how much enlightenment, or expansion of awareness, that we can achieve in this reality. The reason for this is that we are limited in the amount of energy that we can hold within the physical aspect of this space. This is why the majority of our energy stays “up there” with our soul. You cannot actually bring it all down into your body. Once the limit of expansion is reached, it feels like either the physical body of the being leaves this reality to go and continue their enlightenment process somewhere else (turning to light as they exceed the limit) or they are essentially “capped” of their own free will and they stay to pass on their knowledge, teach and help in other ways (Jesus, Buddha etc.).
We achieve the expansion of our own awareness or progression through the infinite stages of enlightenment by learning our lessons, shifting of old emotional energy, letting go of attachment etc. This is exactly what everyone reading this will have been doing, both consciously and unconsciously, throughout their life (or for many lifetimes).
The process of enlightenment is a bit like the tower card in the tarot… we must break down everything that we are not to realise everything that we really are.
