What is Enlightenment?

Raising Consciousness

As human beings, we have the capacity for great intelligence and are able to develop our consciousness levels more than any other species on the planet. As people become interested in raising consciousness they also become curious about where this path leads and can question "What is enlightenment?"

When we start to become aware of our own functioning; our thoughts, feelings, emotions and physical being, we may be left wanting to know more about who we are and asking "What is the meaning of life?"

The Process of Self Enquiry

Self enquiry allows a person to inquire into the source of their own awareness, opening the possibility of discovering true nature. That that is aware is recognised as self, the false identification has fallen away.

Now, enlightenment is possible. In this non-resistant present place of awareness, awakening may occur.

What Is Enlightenment?

Awakening occurs when awareness, or beingness, becomes aware of itself. No longer is awareness locked on to the perceived happenings of life. Awareness becomes aware of its own nature.

The mind quietens, emotions are ok to come and go, there is no longer any resistance offered. To support awareness aware of itself, a person has learnt to remove the obstacles in their own mind.

Awakening to your true nature in an ongoing way is also known as enlightenment.

When awareness becomes aware of itself for a short period, this is called satori, it is a glimpse of our true nature. It is seen as an invitation to do the work to prepare the mind so it can support enlightenment.
