What this post is about

I am writing this blog because there is no consensus on what enlightenment is and almost no one knows how to get there. Enlightenment is not something you do but rather it is something that you become aware of. It can happen slowly or it can happen all at once. It is sometimes referred to as an awakening. It does not require a spiritual path or journey. It cannot be taught, only pointed at.

So what is it that you need to become aware of? You need to become aware of the fact that you have misidentified yourself. You are not who you think you are. Most people have misidentified themselves with the ego. The ego is not bad or evil, in fact, you have created it piece by piece. The mind does not grasp how this was done, only consciousness can, and consciousness is beyond the realm of the mind and thoughts. The ego has a purpose but this purpose should not mask your true identity.

So basically here is the situation. You are unaware of your true identity, believing that you are an ego which you created without realizing it, you are caught up in a reality that is basically an illusion. You are playing a game in a reality that you can't win, you can't even break even and you can't get out of alive. Life as you live it is fear dominated. Sure, there are momentary breaks of pleasure that allow us to continue on.

This blog is not a forum or discussion of the ideas being put forth. Those who are not enlightened are living in an illusion or a dream state and therefor have no inkling of what waking up is about. Comments from within the illusion are based on lies that a human tells himself based on his belief that he is his ego.

What I am interested in is providing some pointers for those that have come to realize that there is something wrong with reality as they are experiencing it. Things don't hold together right. Things have happened in their life that no one can explain. These people could be on the brink of waking up from the dream state. It is to them that I will endeavor to answer questions and point a way that they might look.

You might think that I am exhibiting ego by what I am writing. Remember this, I can only communicate with the dreamers in a language of words and ideas which are obtained from the ego. I must preserve some part of the ego or else I couldn't write this blog at all.
