Enlightened
Spiritually enlightened, what is it? How does it feel and how do you know you are enlightened?
Firstly there’s a problem with the very word itself. The word itself is definitive and static. The word conceptualizes the completion of a process that is eternally transcendent.
People have become hung up on the word. They refer to it as a state of consciousness that is attainable in the future. People are seeking enlightenment as if it is something they can become once and for all.
You can never achieve enlightenment as it is an ongoing process. People, who say that they are enlightened, declare themselves by the very statement, that they are unenlightened. The only correct use of the word is to declare that you have achieved a certain level of enlightenment….and even this is definitive and limiting.
