Engligtenment
This word generally brings up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment and the ego likes to keep it away, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.
So what is Being ??
Being is the eternal, ever present One Life beyond the various forms of life that are subject to life and death. (soul or spirit)
So to regain awareness of the being and to abide in that state of "feeling-realisation" is Enlightenment.
So what's the Obstacle to Enlightenment?
Identification with your mind - causes thoughts to become impulsive, which brings n the incessant mental noice which prevents from finding the inner stillness which is inseperable from being.
Identification with your mind - creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgements and definitions that all true relationship, i.e. between you and yourself, between you and your fellow beings, between you and nature.
Although mind is a beautiful intrument if used rightly, but the problem being that we don't use it at all !!! Yep - Its the mind that uese you to believe that you are the mind - leads to delusion.

So how do we free ourselves from the Mind?
The moment you start watching the thinker (MIND), a higher level of conciousness becomes activated and you begin to realise the realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence.
You realize that all things that truly matter - beauty love, creativity, joy, inner peace arise from beyond the mind.
So you see and judge the present through the eyes of the past and get a totally distorted view of it. So when you start watching the thinker, you listen to that voice impartially. You'll soon realise there is the voice and here i am listen n watching it. This i am realisation, this sence of your presence is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.

When you draw your consciousness away from the mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
