Enlightenment Occurring

Enlightenment occurs when it is simply accepted!

That’s it! No searching. No seeking. No spiritual trip. No materialistic trip.

The searcher is just that. The need for spiritual or material solace and comfort, is just that. Enlightenment occurs when all that stops. When all diversion, digression, and blocking stops. The nature of Being is Enlightenment. It is our natural state. Our inherent, always present, always active state. All the spirituality, religions, yogic, psychiatric, and personal growth trips, are but efforts to remove, clear away, or breakthrough the stuff that coves our natural state.

Of themselves they have no meaning, although that is where most people and up, enmeshed in their own beliefs and practices, which are taken as the “end” rather than the means. This applies to all paths, gurus, teachers, gods and prophets. Anything, even the purest, most elevated holy forms of existence, cover over the native natural state of all beings, which is Enlightenment, as Truth, Knowledge, Bliss.
This native state, was written about for thousands of years, from the time of the Vedas in ancient India, (prior to Christ and Buddha). It has been called in Sanskrit, Sat, Chit, Ananda. This native state has, often as an “undercurrent”, been expounded upon eloquently at great length by all the major world religions, (although often in “hidden or secret tracts”).

For those few that have sought to become enlightened, there are numerous who have become engrossed in the external message, the Exoteric as opposed to the Esoteric. Messages passed down become distorted, or given self-interest driven meaning, but the bearers, (the Enlightened God realized sages, saints and prophets), remain intact.

Endless permutations have been delved in to develop codes of practice, rituals & rules, that are supposed to bestow some benefit, some purity, and some sort of credit rating for heavenly rewards. As a result the real world of human nature has been rejected. To become Enlightened, (so they say), one must become holy, pure, and especially moral. Anything but human. Yet it is the acceptance of all states of Being, that is enlightenment. The understanding of what human being experience is, can be is the state of Divinity. It’s here and now!

The individual who is struggling to avoid all the anti-enlightenment traps, cannot easily succeed. The way is made possible by the presence of already enlightened ones, whose company is the means. The bearer of the message of enlightenment, is the vision in human form of the desired state. that is sought after by the earnest spiritual seeker. This one appears as the Grace for such a seeker, who is already prepared to give up the search and the struggle. The surrender is the turning point, with the acceptance fully of the human form that is a true teacher, the Sat Guru. This process is acceptance of one’s own native state of higher being, as the spark of recognition, (of the natural state), jumps across the to student seeker. By all means have a “dead” teacher or a Higher Power outside of one’s self, if that works. There is no Happy God in the clouds, (with a long beard). It’s you, everyone else, and the whole of what you experience.

Be aware that the living human Guru, is a representation of the Tantric way. This is because the form used is human. (We know what humans are like). The characteristics, activities, and behavior of such an enlightened teacher, can and will be, very ordinary, (as we all are, at face value). Very typically behaving as of any other human. The purpose of the guru, is to show Divinity in human form, make possible Divinity for the human species, inclusive of all his or her human frailties. Such a way, or path, avoids endless problems with trying to tame a human body, full of strange thoughts as well as actions. We are full greed, hate, lust and so forth. (Just scratch the surface). We have to leave all that behind yes, but we, the individualized ego based personage, is not going to make it.

Simply accept, then understand, then transcend, then transform. There is no forceful asceticism, no strident moral posturing, (whilst desires are suppressed, yet not destroyed). No religious crusading.
The: “I’m holier than thou syndrome”, is a recipe for war and chaos. The path of the enlightened teacher is the way of accepting the face of the Divine, and the ensuing transformation, whilst simply allows that to support naturally one’s own native state, until all the searching and seeking falls away.
If necessary, accept the message and ignore the human frailties.
