"Enlightenment is the moment when the wave realizes that it is water." ~Thich

Nhat Hanh

Enlightenent is not soething that can be gi!en to you" Whate!er that has been

gi!en to you# can also be ta$en away fro you" You ust find this great spiritual

liberation within yourself# and learn how to culti!ate it%s presence in your life# as you

are the aster of it all in the end" Your enlightenent is destined to find you in this

lifetie or the next" &t is on it%s way# you siply need to get out of the way and

understand how to recei!e it" When the ind stops all searching in the outer forfulfilent and finally coes to relax hoe in your !ery core# the realization is

disco!ered that enlightenent was always there# 'ust buried deep within your being"

We all experience suffering in life because of one little thing"""ignorance" &f you ta$e

the word ignore and add a little dance to it# you get ignorance!When we ignore the

ruth of our infinite being# our ignorance expands and soon transfers us onto the path

of suffering" o transcend your ignorance and find spiritual freedo in your life again#

state of consciousness we can iagine" *y siply opening up to our own

consciousness# we can release anything instantly that would a$e us suffer"

disco!er the liberating truth of who we are"

Each oent of our li!es has the potentiality to becoe the ost liberating healing

enlightening experience we can handle" he ore open# ready and willing we are to

recei!e soething agnificent# the easier and faster the agic coes flooding in"

When you are ready for enlightenent# it will find you" You don%t ha!e to stri!e for it"

&n fact# the harder you wor$ for it# the further it o!es away fro you" Just a$e it

your priority to totally relax and en'oy your life"

,ully surrender to your real self" Explore who you truly are# what you really want#

and what your purpose on Earth actually is on a spiritual le!el" he following inforation is deeply transforing when applied daily to your life"

-sing these suggestions each day will ta$e you closer to tasting the awesoe

experience of spiritual enlightenent" his great enlightened experience is a assi!e

shift in consciousness# so go easy on yourself" You ay ha!e been trying to wa$e up

for a really long tie# possibly lifeties# and the great awa$ening can coe suddenly#

li$e a bolt of lightening in the ost unexpected tie# place and way"

the world"

You can a$e an affiration out of it and a$e fir to yourself that this (or better) is

now true for e in this oent of y life"

10. Be open to the new and release your ego's need to be right about anything.

*eing right can be the hardest ego trip to get off of# and yet causes a a'or aount of

suffering" &f the ego belie!es it is wrong about any one little thing# it starts feeling

insecure that you basically could be W/ON0 abouteverythingin your entire life1

Whate!er the ind belie!es is true# always becoes our reality in that oent" he

colored lens you percei!e your world with today# becoes how the world tends to

appear for you toorrow" &f e!eryone around you fro birth to death says that .ife

is this hard# painful and unfair experience# and you belie!e the# then how will you

e!er learn how to relax# let go# trust and en'oy li!ing in this aazing -ni!erse2

&f we thin$ we ust fight to get what we want in life# we end up anifesting a !ery

serious challenging ride" o experience lo!e# enlightenent and freedo we ust stepo!er our ego and be open to a copletely new experience of life in each oent"

Your inner and outer world is one assi!e playground" .earn how to be free# and

ha!e fun within your life" hin$ of each new day as your chance to step on a !ery

interesting and coical life stage" You can choose any hat to wear# lens to see through#

or fascinating role you desire to play1

. Let go of doing and practice simply being.

&t has becoe abnoral for people to 'ust relax# sit still# be silent and alone" 3o+a+

holics ha!e becoe the societal nor" 4any people a!oid editation because they

thin$ it is boring# don%t ha!e tie for it# or feel they ha!e failed at it# trying to 5uiettheir ind after a few rando attepts" When we realize that A.. of our suffering#

chaos and illness in life is caused by our inability to 5uiet the ind# we will spend

ore tie practicing being presentand less in!ested in doing soething thin$ing it

will ta$e us soewhere better than being here"

E!entually# with enough tie spent practicing being present to the now# we disco!er

our real infinite nature inside" We realize we are spiritual beings and ha!e e!erything

we were loo$ing for and soooo 4-67 ore1 he greatest ystics in history all

disco!ered enlightenent when they were siply being 5uiet# relaxed# and fully in the

here now" When their big awa$ening happened# they were not trying to do anything1

his is the great ystery of life# and astery of the ind is by far the greatestachie!eent an$ind can e!er ha!e" he experience of being here now# feeling ONE

with the infinite# all+powerful and oniscient -ni!ersal+0od force is enough" &t is

epowering and highly enlightening to re+define all those old definitions of what it

eans to get soewhere special in your life"

8. Being free from our family's unconscious myths and society's deep ignorant

programming.

When you were a child# what was counicated to you about enlightenent2

Anything2 3id anybody ha!e a clue what enlightenent was or how to experience

an enlightened state of bliss2 3id anyone e!er show you how to open your cha$ras#editate# or counicate with 0od2 4ost li$ely# e!eryone around you was ore or


3/7

less spiritually lost# and then telling you what they belie!ed would a$e you happy#

lo!ed and successful in life" hey wanted the best for you# yet ended up

counicating to you how to be unhappy and unenlightened through their actions#

belief syste and beha!iour"

&f you go bac$ and thin$ about your childhood# what do you reeber was the typicalstandard storyyou were told# that a$e you feel li$e a failure# isolated# unlo!ed or a

sense of separation2

What belief syste did you inherit fro your faily that created assi!e liits on

how you feel about yourself and life today2 You ay ha!e heard soe essages li$e#

"ou need an education to become somebody, there ust isnt enough time for that, we

cannot afford that, you cannot be, do or have #y$, you are ust too much of a blah

blah blah!" Naturally we are all !ery gullible as children# yet if we did not becoe

identified with our faily%s liiting belief syste we ay not be here" &f we didn%t

thin$ li$e they did# they ight ha!e stopped feeding us and pushed us out of the tribe"

We needed to thin$ sall# do what we were told and obey the one in charge# in order

to reain accepted# lo!ed and ali!e"

,ro the oent we were born# we all recei!ed the idea that this unenlightened state

of life was the norm. You ay ha!e seen all the insane world probles on the nightly

8 news# and thought that this was how the entire world operated and ass suffering

was 'ust the way things were" As we becae teenagers# we either rebelled or becae

assiilated into the unenlightenent syste# and fell deeper into the story of

separation" he ore we accepted or rebelled fro our counity# the greater our

feelings of lac$# isolation and struggle grew inside" *eing surrounded by

unenlightened people was an enorous lose+lose situation"

o a$e atters worse# we were forced to attend soe 'ail li$e education systewhich wor$ed about 9: of our brain%s potentiality and was designed to churn once

brilliant creati!e $ids through a social foratting grinder so they becoe hard

wor$ers for the syste"

We were taught wonderful lies that e!eryone belie!ed to be true# li$e how a huan

life expectancy should only be ;> years old# when really our 3NA can last at

least 9>> years" We were told that we would ha!e to wor$ really hard to ha!e a hoe#

liited energy# resources# food# $nowledge and power"We were ne!er taught to rebel

against authority# thin$ freely# independently# or e!en consider the possibility of

becoing spiritually enlightened"

he school syste ade it illegalto teach children how to find a deep innerconnection with the &nfinite ?ource" &t was not iportant to learn how to editate#

heal your body through your breath# how to a$e tantric lo!e# aster your ind

through totally 5uietness and stillness# en'oy all our eotions# $now the infinite truth

of who we are# or how to achie!e absolute inner freedo and bliss"he society all

around you is still hypnotizing adults and their children to belie!e that success is all

about achie!ing a higher le!el of status# oney and career" Our poor education syste

is still in its infancy# and siply has ne!er had a large dose of enlightenent so it

doesn%t $now any better

here are any awa$ened beings in the world today who $now the truth# that real

successin life is defined by how liberated# spiritually rich# lo!ing and enlightened you

are as a huan being" he world is slowly wa$ing up# one person at a tie" @eople arebeginning to see that happiness is not soething you can attain fro stri!ing to


4/7

achie!e the right incoe# status# career# arriage# or diploa" ?tri!ing to reach these

things will only distract you fro wal$ing your spiritual path and disco!er the ost

rewarding life experience of the all"

/eeber# whate!er liited ideas that you recei!ed fro your faily or school

syste were 7E&/ liitations and not yours"When you stop and gi!e bac$ those beliefs# you can reclai your spiritual freedo

again within yourself" he liiting beliefs handed down fro your faily run deep in

your blood and it will ta$e e!ery ounce of awareness inside you to see the"

,reedo will occur when they are fully seen# felt into and released fro your

entaleotional body as well as your subconscious ind"

We ust forgi!e all of these people of their unenlightened prograing if we are

e!er to be fully free" &t is all $aric and nobody is to blae" hey siply were not

taught by their parents how to li!e in a constant state of wonder and aazeent in

their li!es while doing daily tas$s li$e changing diapers# cutting the grass# going to

wor$# and paying their bills" When we forgi!e the and see how they were not raised

by fully self+realized self+actualized enlightened beings# we can easily forgi!eoursel!es for the liiting beliefs and negati!e feelings about oursel!es that we

inherited"

Be outrageous and stop hiding from your spiritual power in some safe little

fishbowl.

We can often hide fro our life ission and spiritual purpose in our ind" houghts

are safe# while real life experiences out there see dangerous# scary and unsafe"

.ife is inherently insecure because death is always potentially around the next corner"

We ight find it easier to not ta$e ris$s# and go for our big dreas in life for fear of

getting hurt or lost in the wild ocean" When we only choose to stay safe# cofy (and

basically dead) inside our little cofortable fishbowls of old habits# we only do thethings that once ga!e a sense of confidence and security# and stop growing

copletely"

.ife is this beautiful natural chaos with a di!ine cosic structure" Our li!es are this

daily ad!enturous rollercoaster ride that we need to learn how to en'oy" .ife is eant

to be fun because you 'ust don%t $now exactly how things will turn out" You won%t

$now until the last second how you will respond to what soeone says# or how you%ll

a$e the ost iportant decision you need to a$e" Each experience in your life is

here for your spiritual growth" Each boring# exciting or noral experience is eant to

expand you# help you see and feel the entire ocean around you now# and yes 'up out

of your safe little fishbowl and ?W&4 in the ocean of existence1 &t%s easy to do#

siply stop thin%ingabout your life# and actually start en'oying the one you%re li!ing#

feeling and breathing in now1

!Embracing and lo"ing e"ery fear that arises.

he less fear we are holding in the body# the ore we can relax and open oursel!es up

to experiencing a ore expansi!e enlightened state of consciousness" All fears are

siply eotionally contracted thoughts in!ented by a ind that still belie!es it is

disconnected fro the ?ource" &t%s good to $now that the word ,"E"A"/" actually

stands for ,alse E!idence Appearing /eal"o transcend any fear# first disco!er what you are deeply afraid of" You can access any


5/7

fear by opening yourself up to another person intiately in con!ersation# letting the

other peer into you" ?oon you will be able to see deeper into yourself and understand

exactly what you are running fro in your life" Once you $now what you are running

away fro# run towards it and welcoe it into your heart with a big ebrace" his

approach will dissol!e any fear instantly# and in tie it will be copletely released

fro your body" he ore practice you ha!e in ebracing your fears# the easier itbecoes to find total relaxation# so that you can access your full spiritual connection

within your consciousness"

#. $top trying to continuously impro"e or fi% yourself.

his ay see contradictory to the pre!ious essage# yet its actually copleentary"

7ow often do you find yourself trying to replace your negati!e thoughts and feelings

with positi!e ones2 7ow uch of your life has been spent trying to heal yourself or

your ind2 &s all the effort and energy you%re putting into ipro!ing you actually

a$ing you relax into the experience that you are already di!ine# already sacred#

deeply lo!able# and already connected to the 0od ?ource2

he result fro continuously fixing# ipro!ing and healing yourself is perpetuatingthe feeling of# "& am not o% e#actly as & am". Any unconscious self+ipro!eent habit

is 'ust another egoic disease" he real proble is not what it appears to be" 0o to the

root of the atter# which is this dualistic ind# and uproot the entire "&m bro%en and

need to be fi#ed"eotional progra" /ealize that W7O you are is neither these

negati!e or positi!e thoughts# yet the consciousness and awareness behind the" Only

through pure awareness will you be able to stop the habit of trying to change# fix and

ipro!e yourself# and instead surrender deeply into the spiritual sacred core of your

being where self+realization is"

&. Enoying the practice of (uieting the incessant chattering and repetiti"e mind.

he ind is a liited congloeration of ideas and beliefs about who we thin$ we are#

and what reality is" &t beha!es uch li$e a coputer that is un+aware of itself# and 'ust

spits out inforation that was prograed into it" he ind is li$e a achine so it is

not conscious" he ind is a horrible aster and a wonderful ser!ant" We need to

train the ind# so that we can use it instead of being used by it" &t cannot reain in

the present oent" &t ust $eep o!ing with ideas that engage the past and future to

reain in control of you"

When we 5uiet the ind# we regain control of it" he ore we can practice paying

attention to the stillness and silence that is behind the chattering ind# the less power

the ind has o!er you# and the less you%ll get trapped in your liited ego or identity"

he word E"0"O" is really 'ust an acrony for Excluding 0od%s Onipresence"hrough the constant awareness of our ego we can by pass the ind and access this

onipresent di!ine spiritual energy inside us" We can disco!er our natural

enlightened state" We becoe aligned with the bigger ruth that we already are

infinite spiritual beings# who ha!e been gi!en the gift of a liited physical huan

expression with illusionary challenges that a$e us grow" When the ind is 5uiet# we

can en'oy this di!ine play# and find real peace with the entire dynaic" We find full

acceptance that we are both the ego and spirit,and $now all is perfect as it is"

). *eleasing all attachments and a"ersions to e"eryone and e"erything.

As huans we tend to get attached to (or a!oid) certain thoughts and feelings we*E.&E8E will a$e us happy or unhappy" We get into habits of resisting life# and


6/7

trying to control our experiences so that we get what we thin$ will ON.Y bring us

'oy# and a!oid what a$es us unhappy" We e!en create these patterns based on what

others say# feel# and belie!e and ignore our own inner !oice and connection" his

attachent and a!oidance habit anifests because deep down we feel disconnected

fro our spiritual source" We are still trying to find soe for of security by

controlling our reality"When we were young# we saw others a!oiding what is painful and reaining

attached to what is pleasurable# and belie!ed this is how it should be done"

he enlightened state shows up when we listen to our heart and stop being attached to

or a!oiding anything" When we understand that life is li$e a pendulu# designed to

swing and gi!e us both experiences of pain and pleasure# we can transcend the both"

*y accepting this natural pendulu swing# we becoe free fro being the one who

always needs to be in control and running the show

@ain and suffering are 'ust the -ni!erse%s way of telling us to .E 0O and trust the

flow" he purpose of feeling pain is not to create ore suffering# yet for you to wa$e

up and create an iediate new life change" his change is necessary for you to

e!ol!e and e!entually drop all identity with your ego+trip so you can return to yourspiritual source" *y allowing yourself to let go of your ind%s attachents and

a!ersions# you can genuinely en'oy your life again" You then start energetically

counicating to the -ni!erse that you are abundant# than$ful# happy# beautiful and

free1 his experience allows you to expand in consciousness and deepen your

connection to your &nfinite ?ource inside"

+. Being free from the illusion that you're separate from the ,nfinite $ource of

lo"e- energy and connection.

,eeling separate and disconnected fro our -ni!erse is the unenlightened state" We

becoe enlightened when we are continuously aware how deeply and intiatelyconnected we already are" he illusion of separation is not an accident or

coincidence# the -ni!erse is extreely intelligent" E!ery feeling of separation is

needed so that coing spiritually hoe is that uch ore aazing" he polarization

of separationunification breeds a truly 'uicy ali!e and incredible experience of life"

When we becoe enlightened# we will see the full illusion and $now how to stop

anifesting another experience of loss# failure or separation again"

he illusion that we are not connected to the di!ine is $aric"

&t stes fro lifeties of our ind%s attachent (and a!oidance) of liiting ideas of

who and what we thin$ we are" Once we untangle oursel!es fro our fun stic$y

$aric ess# we will reeber that we were always ONE energy# one sea of

consciousness# and always connected with our ?ource" All experiences of suffering

siply drop away when we pay closer attention to who we truly are"

All suffering coes fro a lac$ of awareness of our di!inity" Once we stop forgetting

our eternal abundant nature# we begin stepping forward into a life o!er flowing with

synchronicity# ease# grace# lo!e and $nowing our di!ine unliited nature" Wa$ing up

is as siple and easy as reebering that the ?un is always on# always bright# and

always shining soewhere"

1. now that who you truly are is already awa/e- enlightened- lo"ing and free.


7/7

When it coes down to it# we already ha!e e!erything we need inside us to

experience all the lo!e# 'oy and happiness we could e!er desire" All efforting to get

anywhere better than here# is siply di!ine isguidance" he -ni!erse is already

aazing" You are already aazing# and this oent is totally aazing" *y sitting in

awe of this aazingness that is already here now# we wa$e up to the spiritual

iensity of our being" We suddenly stop playing sall# end all of our suffering# andcontinuously step into the !astness of our totality"

he pathway into enlightenent is a perpetual 'ourney into the now" his wonderful

yet treacherous 'ourney in!ol!es getting to $now oursel!es !ery intiately# gently and

spiritually" When we brea$ free fro the hard cold calculating ind# we realize who

we truly are is lo!e itself" We then find out our life%s spiritual ission and soul

purpose is to radiate this lo!e e!erywhere we are1 When we $now our real nature is

the 3i!ine itself# we becoe desire+less# selfless# and effortlessly reeber how

deeply# intiately and infinitely connected we already are to the spiritual source

inside it all"
