About Me

what is enlightenment...
it is everything and nothing.

let me find another way to put this...
if i say to you: "enlightenment is all knowing"
then i limit enlightenment.
if i say "enlightenment is all loving"
i limit love.

There can be no beginning and no end
and our human vocabulary is rife with limitation.

so let us say enlightenment is being in the moment through eternity, without the intellect, but with the consciousness of all things.
it is absolute peace
without the awareness of non-peace.

it is absolute love
without the awareness of hate.

it is all things without end
having forgotten the illusion of ending.
