How to Be Enlightened One!

The path to spiritual enlightenment is a razors edge, steep and treacherous to the person who is foolish, on the right hand insanity and the left death.

Simply put, the rational mind thinks, the Soul just knows. The mind presented with this problem says, "Yes, 100+150+235, let's see, that equals 485." The Soul, on the other hand, presented with the same problem just knows, 485. No thinking, just knowledge.

The major problem, as you can readily see, is to keep the 'rational mind' sane while crossing the unknown to the 'All Knowing Soul.' The path requires total dedication, discipline, knowledge and courage.

The path is not a 'Sunday stroll', but rather like a narrow ledge along a cliff face, interspersed with flat rocky plateaus. In the beginning, the path may ascend sharply with great learning but soon the first plateau is reached which seems spiritually barren. These plateaus are places to rest, a place to apply what has been learned and a test of resolve. Resting overlong means to slide back, you must continue to ascend or be dragged down.

There is no fee at the gateway to the path leading to spiritual enlightenment. The key to enter, is the burning desire to know the truth.The materials required can be carried in a backpack: clothes for decency, a towel for bathing, paper and pencils for notes, a couple of books, whatever you need for the trail. The only other burdens you will carry are the truths you realize in your heart and mind as you ascend the path and the dawning knowledge that the earth and it's people are living in almost total spiritual darkness. You must be strong to stay on the path.

You need no expensive spiritual enlightenment workshops or classes, gurus or teachers, correspondence courses, retreats, or trips to India on the path.You the student are your own teacher, you just need to realize the truth and apply it as you ascend the path. You are an individualized conscious part of the 'Whole' all knowledge is within your grasp. All you need to do is to seek the truth, apply it, and with God's Grace you will reach the goal.
