I’ll start off by inviting you to consider that I am not a separate entity writing this and you are not a separate entity reading this.
You have written and delivered this message to yourself. This post is of your own creation and you have brought it into your life, precisely in this moment, to provide a signpost of sorts pointing you toward self-realization.
Again, this is just an invitation for your consideration.
If you suspend the ego’s disbelief, I’m sure you will feel the Truth of this message.
And if you’re open to altering your perception, there is a profound shift that awaits you here.
This shift is what is often referred to as enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the realization of who you Truly are.
For these reasons, I believe enlightenment is available to all of us, at any moment.
Because at any moment, we can realize who we Truly are.
This is not reserved for advanced spiritual practitioners, nor does it require years of intense, disciplined practice.
This doesn’t require caves, monasteries, or mountains.
Or monasteries on mountains.
Enlightenment is simply the recognition of your True Nature.
Enlightenment is not a static state, unchanging once experienced. It’s not something one has. It’s not a place to get to.
It’s who we perceive ourselves to be in each moment.
It’s what we experience ourselves as.
It’s how we create ourselves.
We create ourselves in every moment, just as we create our reality in every moment, through our perception.
We create ourselves through who we perceive ourselves to be.
Enlightenment is the realization of who we Truly are.
It’s the realization that we are one with all that exists.
Enlightenment occurs when we perceive the world through the eyes of unity.
And since we create through our perception, unity is precisely what we experience.
The ego perceives the world through the eyes of separation.
And since we create through our perception, separation is precisely what we experience.
Enlightenment is not something we get to. It’s something we experience through our perception.
It’s a perceptual shift.
Shifting our perception is the answer to finding every single thing we seek, for we only seek that which we believe we are separate from.
Once we perceive ourselves through our True Nature, there is no more seeking.
There is nothing to gain. There is nothing to lose. It’s all within you.
The entire universe exists within you. You experience everything within yourself, from the very next thought to the most distant star.
And you exist within the entire universe. The force that animates your body is the force that animates everything, from the smallest ant to the ocean’s currents.
Through the eyes of unity, from the enlightened state of being, you see yourself in everything and you see everything in yourself.
This is bliss.
Nothing happens to you, unless you perceive it to.
Everything happens through you.
And then, everything happens by you.
I’ve been using the term “co-create” to describe my life experience for quite some time. It has resonated with me and provided a foundational perceptual shift that brought me to the one I am writing about now.
The perception was that I am co-creating with the universe.
Living this way has transformed my life. It’s been like joining forces with the universe, rather than being a passive recipient to its events.
Co-creating with the universe has decreased fear, tension, and anxiety.
Co-creating with the universe has increased ease, joy, and play.
Co-creating with the universe has also kept me in a state of separation.
You can see it now, can’t you.
Co-creating. Creating with.
This implies there are two forces at work.
Two implies one and another.
One and an other.
Separation.
I’m transitioning out of this stage, which was required… as all things are.
I’m remembering the Truth of who I am.
I’m seeing through the eyes of unity, and so I’m experiencing the unity among all things.
We are the Creator and the created.
And it only takes a shift in perception to recognize this.
And this recognition brings about a harmony unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s cellular. It’s cosmic. It generates an expansive vibrational frequency that transcends ordinary state of consciousness in the moment it occurs.
Enlightened is not a static, unchanging state. It’s something we experience in this moment.
To believe enlightenment is a destination maintains the very separation that blocks us from it.
The ego loves this, because separation is what keeps the ego intact.
Those “enlightened beings” who have seemingly attained enlightenment once and for all have simply experienced enlightenment consistently in this moment. That is, they continuously recognized their True Nature and lived from that place.
So enlightenment is not a destination. It’s not a place to get to. It’s not a milestone.
It’s a process. It’s a relationship. It’s a remembrance.
To say I am enlightened is, therefore, inaccurate, as it is with anyone.
It is most accurate to say that I have been experiencing enlightenment more and more.
That is to say, I’ve been recognizing the Truth of who I am more and more.
And I’ve maintained connection with that Truth more and more.
More and more I dissolve separation, along with all of its drama, and see the world through the eyes of unity.
From this place, the illusion of separateness is revealed.
There is no fear. What is there to fear when you recognize yourself as one with all that exists?
Nothing.
No thing.
I experience less and less concern, worry, and doubt.
And when I do, it’s gone the moment I return to the Truth: I create my experience through my perception.
With this wisdom, why would I create anything but harmony?
I wouldn’t. So I don’t.
I am the Source of it all. And so are you.
I am the Creator. And so are you.
Join me here.
No. Simply realize that you are already here.
And thank you.
Thank you for sending this message to yourself through me.
