Why Don’t You Become Enlightened?
First of all, enlightenment is not a dirty word. In my spiritual journey I have learned that many people are afraid to talk about enlightenment, as though it is taboo or a mystical state of being that you just don’t talk about. People are not afraid to talk about Buddha, Krishna or the Devil but talking about enlightenment seems to be like talking about some form of weird sex or a plot to kill the President of the United States. Enlightenment or pure awareness, as it is sometimes called, is simply a state of consciousness. Since many people have a problem with the word enlightenment I will use the term pure awareness, henceforth, as a substitute for it. Pure awareness is not really a substitute because they both mean the same thing – the highest state of consciousness possible – total awareness.

Goals of Spiritual PracticeAt the core of most Eastern views of spirituality is the belief that every human being is by the nature of the soul, balanced, whole, complete, and immortal. The soul is that aspect of our inner being that we all sense is there, but rarely something we think about or have much to do with. The soul is also called our True Self, our Higher Self, and our Divine Nature, etc.
There is an old story of a wise Sage who was working in his garden one day when a spiritual seeker came to him and asked how to become enlightened. The teacher pulled an onion out of the garden and said dig a hole over there for this onion where the soil is rich and fertile. The student did that and in that moment had an epiphany, an awakening.

Fierce GraceThere is a picture hanging above my bed in my room. A picture that the first time I laid eyes on it brought tears to my eyes. It epitomizes to me what a perfect balance of energy would look like. The image by Tony Stromberg is a picture of a mustang standing still with the quiet confidence. Underneath the picture is the words fierce grace. Both energies are integral to life and without one we are completely off balance.
