Enlightenment Questions & Answers

Hi everybody

I am putting myself out here a little by creating this thread, but I feel I can offer myself to others who are close to/interested in/have questions towards what is referred to as spiritual enlightenment.

I have realised my own enlightenment and I will do my best to convey my feelings and thoughts towards helping anyone who is interested in realising their own enlightenment/awakening.

Please feel free to ask me anything about my awakening and I will convey my perspectives on this subject.

Thanks Simon

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

John Lennon

I thought that was from Yoko Ono ?.

No that I'm one to ask questions, but i'm willing to step out of my comfort zone.
What was your state of being before your awakening?

Hi thanks for your question. Do you refer to who has been enlightened in the past?

Enlightenment as it's referred to is your natural state of being, 'it's awareness full' so everything in creation is enlightened, it's the realisation of the awareness of total being that is clouded, this suppresses the realisation of it.

So my answer would have to be everything is enlightened, but the realisation is few and far between(as far as I can tell)

Thank you for your question :)

My question is..

Why enlightened people always seems to be more intrested in conveing their feelings and thoughts to the people who are intrested in realising enlightenment ?

My state of being before the awakening was awakened but unrealised

Everybody is enlightened, otherwise you would not be alive, being alive is enlightenment itself, but it's unrealised and clouded
