Enlightenment
The action of mentally or spiritually
enlightening; the state of being so enlightened. Oxford Dictionary
Upheld in the Eastern religions as the ultimate state of Godliness
that is possible to be achieved by a human while remaining ‘in the body’. Contrary to popular belief, the Enlightened Ones are
not without a sense of self; they merely shift their identity from ego to soul, from head to heart, from little self to big Self.
The Enlightened Ones become kings of the psychic world, their powers derived from the surrender and unquestioning devotion of
their disciples. In actuality, enlightenment is a massive delusion wherein one is convinced one is God or ‘at one’ with God.
In the West, before the recent fashion for all things spiritual, anyone declaring
themselves to be God would have been locked up or given psychiatric help, but now the Enlightened Ones are held in awe and
reverence. With the possibility of eliminating the total identity, both ego and soul, the venerated state of Enlightenment and the
exalted profession of Guru are now doomed to extinction, and those who have deliberately inflicted this psychic aberration or
Altered State of Consciousness on themselves will be clearly seen as narcissistic megalomaniacs.
