Being enlightened and not even knowing it

It's easy to be in denial of our problems, especially any mental defiencies we may have acquired during our life. Many people have mental dis-eases and don't even know they are living in a state of heightened fear and anxiety.

Similarly it's also easy to be in denial of our true oringins in enlightenment and divinity. Being afraid of the worst we are is in the same league as being afraid of the best we are. Many are enlightened and they don't even know it. The strength of the experience is enough to cause fear, even though it's a euphoric/positive type experience.

Being the worst comes with no responsibility and zero accountability which leads to a hallow identity.

Being the best of our self comes with massive responsibility and massive accountability which can lead to a burdening identity and doubt, guilt, shame, if certain aspects of our divine ego come into conflict with our shadow ego. Causing us to near immediately drop out of such a state of heightened realization.

It's easier for many to trod the middle path which is one of comfort but lacking depth of experience and fullness of life, the essential vitality that makes us want to wake up everyday.

It's not easy to accept all of what we are because our soul is so vast it includes all experiences and their polarities, it even includes all of time.

Wishing you all strength on the journey of acceptance and realization.
