Enlightenment

Posted on by philipdodson

When people say that they have become ‘enlightened’ and are now ‘a spiritual’ person, they haven’t.

Becoming conscious and awake, enlightened as some describe it, means not identifying with the mind-created self-image or ego. It means no longer having a mind-made story of who we are, the roles we are, the image we have to upkeep and project. So simply dropping our current story and then replacing it with an ‘enlightened’ one is still associating with the mind.

We are conditioned to feel the need to describe ourselves as this role or that, we feel we have to act out that role or story. It is freeing ourselves from this conditioning that allows us just to be, to become our true essence and not a self-created story.

True enlightenment means no longer identifying with the mind and no longer being controlled by its thought and story. Just be, not a role or a story.

Deep unconscious thoughts

Posted on by philipdodson

Deep, deep, deep, in the dark cave that is our mind, are thoughts that are so repetitive, and almost certainly very destructive, that we are unaware of them. They are like white noise, so regular and deep in our unconscious that we do not see them in our mind-controlled state. The state we are conditioned to think of as ‘normal’.

As we practice and become more awake, conscious in this present moment, the light from within our soul, our very essence, will lighten up that dark cave.

The deeper we become conscious the more light will shine, and the harder it will be for these thought patterns to remain unobserved. If we see them, we can choose to no longer energise them and associate with them.

Gradually, as we become more aware of these deeper unconscious thoughts, they will start to fade. They can not survive the light that shines within us when we are connected to our soul and free from unconscious thoughts.

Light always dissolves the darkness of deep unconscious thought.
