Enlightenment Is A Story

The idea of enlightenment can be found in almost every religion or spiritual culture. It tends to be the ultimate goal that all spiritual seekers aim for when they meditate or try to see through the illusions we are all living within. We hear or read many stories about spiritual masters or saints who have reconnected to oneness and can live within a state of god-like bliss even while being human. However, most people don’t realize that their version of enlightenment is a made up story that their mind is predicting using information taken from books, past events and other stories. The authentic experience of enlightenment is a process of letting go of predictions and allowing a higher state of consciousness to be released from the bonds of our intense control of our physical environment. No one can ever think their way into consciousness therefore any thoughts that arise about enlightenment are probably the exact opposite of what enlightenment is really about. Realizing that enlightenment is a story brings you one step closer to reconnecting to the higher levels of consciousness that you have always wished for.
