Enligtenment is simply when you:

Have the experience of Nirvana.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Or less more, less, less

Enlightenment is:

-the removal of the sense of being other than That.
-returning to being as the aware foundation of existence.
-discovering that this is not a seer or an individual soul with an inherent substance, but the emptiness itself.

Like a fire burns wood, So enlightenment burns the ego. There is a fire burning hot while the ego is going. But when it is gone the Silence of pure self remains unattached, un-expecting, and happy in it's own nature.

This dissolution of the ego-soul ends karma since there is no action or doer-ship.

It is the supreme surrender to the Self in all selves. Then there is no one enlightened or unenlightened. It is the stateless, and effortless state. It is from the single eye that sees the two eyes. It is not what can be seen in the eyes or heard in the ears, smelled, tasted, or touched, but from the Heart that knows of these and contains the universe. It is merging back into the heart, like an ice cube melting into the ocean.

You are awareness. Stay as that only and do not touch any thought. Then you are free in one instant of time . . .
becasue you have always been free and cannot be bound.
But the game continues for each 'individual' until they reach sufficient maturity to see it. And it is said that when the student is ready, the teacher arrives. And the teachers job is to make the teacher and student disappear by reminding the student that he is everything there ever could be.

Thats one way to describe it.

Time has slipped away
Oh, look at all the years gone by.
You say I may have might lost my way
Oh, but I'm on my way to here.

Oh lift up your eyes and see
Your humility
Go on, lift up your eyes and see
Your humility

Yet thinking it's on my way to go
You will meet them on the way you're going through
Yet thinking it's in my way to go
Well, you will need them on the way you're going through

Oh, lift up your head and wonder why
you are the only one to carry out to storm
throughout your life, it's time for you to find your way

Your mind again
Oh, oh, oh your world again (x 2)

You're thinking freely
Rock it slowly
Dancing widely
Some will take it lightly

But them see them see,
rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, is my answer
and I reserve the jewel
rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
I'm not gonna serve for you

No one seize up your writing places
every now and then you come to study the places
When one looks into the system of men
We are ruled by the knife, and we are fooled by the plan

Oh lift up your eyes and see
Your humility
Go on, lift your head and wonder why
Oh lift up your eyes and see
Your humility
Go on, lift your head and know
you're not the only one

Your mind again
Oh, oh, oh your world again (x 2)

Rock it, rock it, man still always
Everyone is talking about the last of days
No one looks like they are still from this land
Everyone thinks they are, new on the sideline

Who, what, what, what, what, what they do x4

I want you to see, I want you to know
This must be the place, you got to be sure
You want to be real, you must lead to shore
this is the only way, this is the only road

Oh lift up your eyes and see
Your humility
Go on, lift your head and wonder why
why am I the only one

Oh lift up your eyes and see
Your humility
Go on, lift your head and wonder
how am I the only one
Don't tell me that again,
I'm the only one

Don't tell me that again,
I'm the only one

Please don't tell me that again,
I'm the only one
No don't tell me that again




ALL IN ONE, ONE IN ALL

"Springs of water welling from the fire"

"Life may seem to flee in a moment, but when the mind is freed of the veil of ignorance, and illusion that comes between the mind and the truth, life and death are only opposite sides of the same coin - "water welling from the fire."


"Within us, we carry the world of no-birth and no-death. But we never touch it, because we live only with our notions."
