The establishment of Enlightened Consciousness, the process of the removal of the thinking mind or the mind of suffering, is the most beautiful Divine Truth one can experience as a holistic being, living in full and integrated union with The Almighty God, The Holy Spirit, and the Body.
There is no difference between Enlightenment, Christ Consciousness, Samadhi, Satori, and this highest state of consciousness has gone by many names, has been experienced by many masters, and has had many valid traditions, albeit the validity of those traditions depends on how they are practiced and employed.
It is a very interesting facet of many religions that a religion would make the Enlightened state unattainable for followers and center the religion around the idol of a body. For example, Jesus and the Buddha would both be confused over the worship of their bodies and the praising of their names. Indeed both, and all Enlightened Masters would instead have disciples follow their example, follow The Way to Enlightenment by being as they were and doing as they did. If one follows the ways of the masters, actually walks the path, then one will eventually embody that same consciousness, which is the Christ Consciousness or state of Enlightenment.
Indeed the good news is that, Higher Consciousness, or God Consciousness is available to any and all who would seek it. One must simply and intentionally walk that path to salvation, and be act, speak, and breathe as the Ascended Masters have demonstrated.
Enlightenment is simply the state of being where one falls into the fullest possible union with the Infinite Divine God, where there is no longer any separation between the physical body, the Divine presence within, and the body’s current place in the Divine Universe. This higher state of consciousness is the disappearance of the fearful, weak, confused, and judgemental “thinking” mind, the mind that is often overwhelmed with pain, attack, and judgemental thinking. Often, this harmful “thinking mind” is referred to as “The ego” in many teachings and writings.
To become Enlightened, is to witness the disappearance of the ego. It is as if the lower “thinking mind” has died while the body remains in union with the Divinity within. It feels as though the ego-mind has left the body completely; it has died. In its place is a feeling of unimaginable joy, happiness, freedom, and Divine Truth. There is no worry or anxiety and neither does the Enlightened being experience any wants or desires as the Christ sees itself as whole and complete. There is only one purpose for continued existence of the body, which is to be as a Christ is, and to do as a Christ does. There is nothing else: No desire for possessions, money, worldly love, or even followers. Though there is no desire for these things the Enlightened Being has no aversion to them either. Everything becomes neutral, the state of non-judgement, of any moment or circumstance, and the Enlightened Being simply sees everything as the fulfillment of Divine Will.
Enlightenment, has a number of well-defined attributes:
One experiences no fear, anxiety, or tension of any kind.
One is very present, but has no expectations of the present moment, nor future moments: It is understood that everything that happens is God’s Will and the Christ accepts God’s Will without judgement, wanting nothing other than to be the fully present witness of current circumstances.
One is most often happy and joyful, finding gratitude in the simplest of life’s joys. Appreciation of a flower or sunset is vastly valued over compulsive the hoarding of money, identification with a role, job, or title.
One exhibits unconditional love and sees selfless giving to others as a gift to itself. Offerings to others may sometimes be in physical form, but more often one offers oneself in wisdom and healing in service to a selfless higher good.
To someone experiencing Enlightenment every breath is a prayer, every movement is a devotion to God, every word fulfills a Divine Purpose.
One has no attachment to worldly things and is quite content with simple accommodation and clothing, however, if worldly pleasures are present or even in abundance, they are regarded as temporary and only meant to be enjoyed while they last.
One extends total acceptance and forgiveness in every moment. Only Love, Truth, and Divine Wisdom of the past is remembered.
Many more attributes would be shared, but these are just a few. Most importantly one has become a “Truth of God” which means one is literally commanded in every word and deed to fulfill God’s Will.
