Everything is Light

​

Enlightenment, as a Western term, is relatively modern.

The spiritual knowledge and practice that conditions enlightenment, has undergone many language adaptations and changes of view, throughout the history of humanity. Nevertheless, the principia of «awakening» from the melodrama of life is known for 3000 years, and though it has not always been acessible, today, it's out there and is no secret.

​

The awakening is deep. Brilliant. Powerful. Warm, and compassionate (nurting an enormous love for existence and other living beings). It's been described "... like the sun appearing from behind the clouds.", rediscovering the truth, that the sun is always 'endlessly' shining.

Behind the cloudy covering of thoughts (even those heavy emotionally charged clouds of thoughts, daily supported by strong habit patterns) there is constantly shining an intelligence, continuous, warm, bright, loving. The personal dramas, many times, hidden within each person's shadow, produce movement, and continually stir life, covering the intelligence, and maintaining the common, kind of unconscious state which is called sleep.

The interesting fact is, that - not only is necessary and truly important - everyone can, and should for the own sake, and sake of others, to wake up from this sleep by keeping the most ones' efforts, the conscient mind aware in the now, and preventing the focus to slide again into the shadowy, dark areas of the egoic mind.

The personal melodrama that we keep moving in one positive or another negative way over the years, is known as the ego or 'I'. We keep our own personal melodramas, juicy, sugary and entertaining - sometimes enjoying the positive dramas but often enjoying the negative dramas. They contain all our hopes and fears regarding the processes of birth, growth, maturation, aging, illness and death - much pleasure and pain.

​

It is really necessary to recognize our psychological condition and then wake up from this confused state caused by the ego mania - in this sense Egoism is the belief or cult in the existence of the god ego, and developing a worship around the owned ego and others egoic minds.

Thanks to Jordan B. Peterson for his clarification (in Maps of Meaning and 12 Rules for Life) regarding the moral intentional role of the great myths and religious stories of the past, especially those of very ancient oral traditions, where he suggests 'that our ancestors portrayed the world as a stage - a drama - rather than a place for objects'. It shows that the constituent elements of the world as drama could be perceived as order and chaos, and not material things: Order is when the people around us act in accordance with well-defined social norms, behaving in a predictable and cooperative manner. Chaos, on the other hand, is where - or when - something unexpected happens. It is the new and unpredictable disrupter and destroyer of the previous order. It is Creation and Destruction, the source of news and the final destination of what has died (nature is both rebirth and death).
