Enlightenment 6/23/2011 12:26:32 PM
Two questions about Enlightenment came up recently. One question was, "Can you search for Spiritual Enlightenment?" The second question was, "Can one's Spiritual Enlightenment be measured?"
To be honest, I haven't spent my life seeking enlightenment. I haven't read about it, studied it, or sought out those capable of guiding and instructing me. So, I discussed both questions first with Robert, and then I asked Dinahh if he could tell me more about it.
I asked Dinahh, "For those who desire to be spiritually enlightened, where do they begin their search? Some say they don't feel it at all and, though they look, they just can't seem to find it. They have no whispers, no feelings of anything spiritual, even though they desperately seek enlightenment."
Dinahh: "You humans ... tell them there is no such thing as searching for enlightenment. It belongs to everyone, therefore, it IS. It is there for every soul. Each soul, on its birth, is on the same journey. It is there for them, they need only to be aware of it inside of them. Each soul moves along at its own speed down each path of its choosing, to learn what it must, but each soul has the very same destination ... that of knowing their true nature and returning home again.
Tell them there is no search. They must only learn how to become aware of the journey they are already on. You must tell them to stop all thought and Be in their Nothingness. They must empty their minds of all thought, breathe deeply, open their hearts to feel the energy, and then they can accept the love. Only when they do this, can they truly begin to sense their awareness. Tell them they must feel each emotion as it comes, and allow it to BE.
If they feel anger, they must allow it, then let it go. If they feel sadness, they must allow it, then let it go. Being aware does not mean they must always feel joyful. To be human, to be aware, means to feel and welcome every emotion. Emotions are like clouds that cover the sun. Some will bring rain, some will only put us in the dark for awhile, but all will eventually go away and allow the sun to shine once more.
To be aware means opening your heart to feel all emotions, not just the love and energy flowing through them that flows through all things. Be aware that you are already on this journey. There is no need to search for awareness, only to allow it to BE. It is there for every soul. All are able to know and remember where they came from and all are able to be aware of who they truly are."
Dinahh further explained that you cannot measure enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a tangible object which can be measured. There is no ladder to spiritual awareness that we climb, rung by rung. With the universe, there is no time -- time is infinite. The universe has no score card, no clock to time us on our journey and no points added for each step we acquire within an allotted time frame. We are each on our own spiritual journey, with different paths and with diverse outcomes, depending on the decisions we make along the way.
We are all here for a distinct purpose: to have a human experience and to gain human knowledge. It was all predetermined before our birth, an agreement between our soul and the universe, and between us and our spirit guides, who can and do help us on our journey. There are things each of us must learn, before our soul can return home, no matter how many lifetimes it takes us.
