Enlightenment means to be filled with light. The light of spirit, source, god whatever you wish to call it.
Let me explain how you proceed on the path to enlightenment.
The doing part is correct, you need to do something.
1. You need to focus on yourself.
2. You need to concentrate on making you a better person.
3. You need to heal yourself.
To become enlightened and therefore be filled with light requires you to empty yourself of your fears and emotional attachments and dilemma's.
That leaves a space and in this space the light of your higherself can enter. To be filled with this light means enlightenment.
Between where you are today and enlightenment has many stages. It may take you more than this lifetime.
You need to work on the following.
1. Awareness of your thought process, monitoring what you think.
2. Being aware. Using your senses to be in the now as opposed to living in a dream like state of thoughts that are in the past or future.
3. Monitoring what makes you emotional and why. Turning inward when emotions are raised and focusing on yourself instead of the other person or circumstance.
4. Using your outer world as a reflection or guide to discovering your inner world.
5. Understanding the difference of when you are in control and when your ego is in control.
6. Using your will to stop your ego and maintaining this state so that you have the space for enlightenment.
It is during the process of your own enlightenment that you help other people. You do this by being an example to them. You lead by becoming enlightened yourself and as others come into contact with you they will benefit from your energy and your light.
No matter where you are or what you do, you have the ability to influence everyone that you come into contact with.
All you have to do is shine. |
