One could be said to be the realization of what you are beyond the mind. Or rather, it is the realization of what you are not. This sense of being a "me" as a solid, limited thing separate from everything else crumbles. The idea that you are your thoughts, desires, fears, emotions falls away into the infinite consciousness that is the essence of everything.
You feel and experience yourself as formless consciousness, as everything is experienced as this same formless consciousness. It all becomes one. Everything is felt to be made out of formless consciousness.
People make sculptures out of sand. They make dolphins, mermaids, castles but it is all made of sand. In the same way, everything is felt to be made of consciousness. The boundaries that seemed to separate you from everything else are blurred to the point where you cannot tell where you end and something else begins.
Then what is left is your natural state of unconditional peace, love and joy. You still have thoughts and emotions just as you did before, but the essence of all of it is formless peace.
When you realize it, you will see why it is called your natural state- because it feels pure, free and simply put, the way you naturally are beyond your identification with your mind.
The second aspect of spiritual enlightenment is energy. This energy of pure consciousness, felt as peace, bliss and love begins to radiate through you. It begins to permeate your body, your thoughts, your emotions, your breath, your actions. You become full of light, radiating light, radiating bliss, thus the definition "spiritual enlightenment."
The third aspect is love. There is a devotional experience that naturally occurs. You feel a sense of deep love and connection to God/Guru/Presence, whatever it is for you. You fall madly in love with it. Perhaps this aspect is the most blissful of the three. It brings unfathomable joy and ecstasy.
Spiritual Enlightenment is not a change in your mental or intellectual perception, it is an energetic shift and awakening that happens at the very depth of your being.You cannot simply think your way into it. Something happens at the level of energy that completely transforms you.
If you ever had the opportunity to sit with a fully enlightened master, you know that just by sitting in their presence, automatically, you experienced deep, blissful states of meditation. Regardless of the words spoken, something much deeper happened. Enlightenment for that period of time, seemed to be automatically awakened inside you just by sitting in their presence.
And if you could remain in such enlightened presence, everything that keeps you from experiencing the truth begins to dissolve, until this presence, this peace and bliss becomes what you are.
But most westerners are uncomfortable with having a "Guru" or simply don't have the time or option to find someone who is fully enlightened and can transmit such presence to them on a daily basis.
This is why I have developed Audio CDs that transmit such enlightened presence to you. Through very special audio equipment, I record this energy vibration of enlightenment often called "shaktipat," "kundalini shakti," or "deeksha" and turn it into sound. This enables you to experience enlightened states of awareness & bliss often within minutes which you probably could not have experienced after decades of practice on your own.
I often get the question "Can't I just do it on my own?"
And the question is, why would you want to struggle on your own for years when you could begin to experience it now? In fact the very attempt to "do it on my own" can often reinforce the ego, the sense of being a separate doer.
Too many people seeking freedom end up stuck in their ideas and knowledge about enlightenment. Their ideas and knowledge end up being a hindrance to their awareness rather than being helpful. But this enlightened energy passes awakens you at the very core of your being. It awakens you from the inside out.
Simply by playing one of these CDs, a true state of enlightened awareness is awakened in you, beyond any teaching or belief system.
I am not here to tell you that these CDs are the only way to Spiritual Enlightenment. But I am inviting you to have a listen to some of the samples and see for yourself. Because if have a listen to the samples and read some of the testimonials from people who meditate to the CDs, you will probably find like so many others that this music can change your life. These CDs have already awakened so many to unconditional peace and can awaken the same peace and bliss in you. Even just by listening to the samples.
