    Enlightenment & Self Inquiry

    Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 9:25 PM [General]

    "The new age/self help
    industry is often about
    building yourself up.

    Making yourself
    more special
    more successful,
    more liked,
    more confident.

    And there is nothing
    wrong with this.

    But enlightenment
    is the opposite.

    Enlightenment is about
    allowing the facade
    to fall apart.

    When you allow the idea
    of who you think you are
    to crumble,
    then all that is left
    is consciousness.

    When all hope is lost, then
    you have nowhere else to go
    but here.

    If there is hope
    and confidence that
    the sun will come out tomorrow,
    you will not surrender
    in this moment.

    It is only when you
    have let go of everything
    in this moment
    that you realize peace.

    In the relinquishment
    of your idea of who you are,
    what you know
    and how things
    are supposed to be,

    when your self image
    has been broken,
    then there is stillness;

    then automatically
    unconditional love, peace
    and bliss shine forth
    out of every pore of your being
    and you discover your true nature.

    You radiate peace.

    Peace and love that
    is so divinely exquisite that
    you willingly give away everything
    that arises to it.

    Not because you get something
    out of it,
    but out of love,
    out of joy.

    You cannot experience
    such joy if you have built yourself up
    into something important.

    The higher you build a building,
    the harder it will be
    to dig underneath it.

    That is not to say
    you should not be successful.

    You can be all of those things.

    But the 'you' that claims
    responsibility for it,
    the one that claims
    ownership of it,
    the one that thinks
    they know themselves:

    That is the one
    that is hiding
    the true nature of this moment
    from you.

    And that is the one you
    need to look into
    and see what is really there.

    Who is this 'you'
    that you claim to know.

    And when you find yourself
    without an answer,
    then you are moving in
    the right direction.

    Blessings,


    Kip"
