Enlightenment

Enlightenment can be understood in a wide range of senses, varying from ‘non doing’ to the achievement of clarity. Yet today this process must be examined from a physiological perspective because it is not related to psychology - neither for the ‘enlightened’ individual nor for those around him. This leads certain followers of the Way astray and, most importantly, simply calls for clarity instead of revealing it.

Essentially, all followers and seekers of the Way secretly search and strive for enlightenment. However this often leads to a disruption in their personal development because by attaining certain higher-frequency characteristics of the mind (which define a certain level of enlightenment) people loose control over the process and over themselves, and thus simply become representatives of the ‘enlightened class’ who do not actually express enlightenment. I call these people ‘spirits’. We can’t even say that these people achieve any clarity and universal knowledge, they simply enter a certain format of extrasensory control.

The achievement of clarity does not rely on enlightenment but rather on a unified body and a tuned mind, which help attain the experience of the Way, and with it – the awareness that initially requires not so much power but experience.

No enlightenment or miraculous experience can determine one’s personal qualities even if the person possesses certain high indicators. Taoists were not interested in enlightenment at all since all practitioners went through certain forms of revelation. The same holds true also for Sufism and Dzogchen.

Achieving certain levels and passing from one level to the other is a rather difficult process. People often strive for the top and free themselves from the responsibility of what they themselves could do, if they had even higher indicators. Generally, in many enlightened people the power of the mind is much weaker than the power of the enlightenment, and this leads to obsessions. If we look at the people who achieve or receive enlightenment, the first thing that grabs our attention is their weak mentality, i.e. the low, sometimes even lacking ability to operate with knowledge.

This is not a critical situation of course but at the same time it is very important that we understand the difference between the separate states – especially for those who try to actually change themselves, and not simply become part of the host of the Divine. I believe that if a person does not understand the art of concentration, he is submitting himself to certain states that we often link to the so called ‘enlightenment’. Therefore I personally call for adequate following of the Way or else the person may find himself trapped in a game he plays with himself and with others.

In today’s world where Man gradually looses all simple habits of common sense, the sphere of the space he represents is irrelevant to him, even if rather tempting. I personally would define enlightenment today as a form of the emotions - when people enter an affective state, which they cannot use. Reversely, it uses them.
