Everyone is already enlightened. It is not that everyday consciousness is enlightenment, When I say that everyone is already enlightened, it does not mean, that you have realized that fact. Not everyone realizes it, in fact, very few do(which is changing in modern times). Much like a wave in the ocean, does not realize that it is the entire ocean expressing itself. It think’s it’s a wave, and other waves are hostile, and it is it’s own seperate entity. However, the realization, that it is a part of the entire ocean, is always there, ready to be discovered at any time. So the wave is already enlightened, it just isn’t realized, just as all people are already enlightened. The path is the illusion, the idea or concept of a journey, is just a construct of the mind, it’s just an experience that we wish to have, like a divine game of hide and seek. We experience physicality, because we wish to hide ourselves from our own divinity, physical experience offers us the opportunity to be able to experience everything as mysterious, and miraculous, allowing us to experience suffering, and pain and joy and happiness and excitement and passion. We get to know ourselves over and over again, in an infinite number of ways, and that makes life magical. It’s not as serious as we make it out to be, but without realizing that we’re already enlightened, being serious is an experience we wish to have. In the end, it’s all a choice that we make, all of it is happening synchronistically, even if we wish to experience all of it in a coincidental, or accidental way. That’s the paradox. We think we’re in control, as an individual. When we give up control, we realize we are in control, as the whole thing. Enlightenment allows us to realize that we are all one being, one life, and when you realize that, you also realize that you don’t need to take from another person, you don’t need to hurt other people for personal gain, or use egoic ways of living, because, you understand that everyone you hurt, is really hurting yourself, as all those other people, are also you, having an experience. You are your worst enemy. Your worst enemy, is you, and together, you create a rivalry, just as you can be best friends. It’s all you, choosing what you want to experience as a separate entity. So enlightenment, allows us to experience a peaceful life, while ego allows us to experience a life of suffering. Neither one of them is wrong, or right. It’s all about what you wish to experience, and what reality you wish to create, as your separate reality, while existing with all others, sharing your reality, with theirs, as one giant reality.
