✨ What We Think Enlightenment Is (And Why That Keeps Us From It) ✨
When people hear the word enlightenment, many imagine a life where:
• work is effortless (or unnecessary),
• every day feels like bliss,
• there are no arguments, no pain, no fear, no greed,
• the whole world suddenly becomes peaceful and perfect.
And because this vision feels so far removed from our daily lives, most dismiss enlightenment as impossible, unrealistic, or something only a saint on a mountain might achieve.
But here’s the truth that often gets missed:
👉 Enlightenment is not about escaping life. It’s not a permanent vacation from responsibility, relationships, or challenges.
It’s a shift in how we experience life.
• Pain may still appear, but suffering doesn’t stick.
• Arguments may happen, but they’re not lived through ego and defense.
• Work still exists, but it can be met with presence instead of struggle.
Enlightenment isn’t a world where storms never come — it’s realizing you are not the storm. You are the sky that holds it all.
So maybe the reason most people never consider awakening is because they’re looking for something grand, impossible, “perfect.” Yet what’s truly possible is much closer, much simpler, and much more human.
Enlightenment isn’t about making life easy.
It’s about discovering the ease already within you.
It’s any to discover what is already within you?
