wisewords Enlightenment by Anthousa Helena I
n today’s societies it is fashionable to be in pursuit of enlightenment. There is an incredible amount of diversity
available, and most seekers are scat- tered, not knowing where to look next, always searching for the missing key. Of course, it’s okay to study all the systems you would like. That is your free will, and there is certainly some value to it. The majority of seekers take convo- luted paths of lateral movement, search- ing from timeless teachings of mystery schools to modern brain machines; from new age music to mysticism; from Eastern religions to Western religions; from ancient civilizations to aliens. Is there some enrichment? Of course there is. But in the end, enlightenment is still elusive, and the seeker is left still wondering about life after decades of searching.
Ideas of enlightenment apply to a lot of different spiritual practices and can create illusions or confusion of what enlightenment is. Every illusion has a core of followers. The mind cre- ates illusions about whom and what you are, and they run very wide and deep. So you find a confusing choice
of options to distract you from your goal – your own truth. God wants you to live so strongly in your truth that no one can ever throw you out of it with any illusion. Every time someone throws their
emotions at you, it is a test for you to see if you can maintain the love within you that is the core essence of your being. If you get hooked by the other person’s emotions, you lose your center and your love, and become entangled with the same like emotion or thinking. This further encases you in the illusions of the lower emotion or belief. Realize that you and only you are the creator and the prime authority for your life, in spite of all other external appearances. Since you have free will, you can choose what to think and how to live. You must become neutral – unaffected by victory or defeat, profit or loss, joy or sorrow, hot or cold, honor or dishonor, or any other pairs of op- posites. Be lovingly detached. When you are equal-minded, you will experience joy and feelings of love and satisfaction regardless of outer cir- cumstances. When you reach this state, others can no longer hook you with
their emotions or illusions. This is a very high way to live and brings great free- dom with it – no longer being pushed around by the projections of everyone around you or by letting their illusions rule and create your reality. And what if we were to commit
ourselves totally and completely to that? What if we were willing to clear the veils of illusion that cover our hearts from the full experience of our Divinity, our True Being? This is not a commit- ment for those only seeking relief of suffering. It is a much deeper and fuller commitment. The path of surrender is the fastest and safest path to enlightenment. It is the fastest because it goes directly to God, and it is the safest because it is not encumbered with dogma, doctrine or mythology; it is the purest form of spirituality. Surrender is the highest and most important practice you can possibly undertake. Go through your life and give up, release and surrender everything you can think of. Surrender means having no desires separate from the one desire to fully surrender to ‘the God of your own understanding’. It means offering up everything you say,
