Another poem..I cant help it, love threads do it to me..:)
Being love
no conditions
no boundaries
no missions
just being
without cause
without pause..
just being love
as love can be
the many faces
I now see
love in motion
love in devotion
amidst commotion
just being
no intention
sought
just nought
ground zero....

Funny... people like to throw the word 'enlightened' around to mean just about anything they want it to. Unfortunately this probably blocks curiosity about just what it really is.

How can what others throw around block ones own innate sense of curiosity? Curiosity is only blocked by ones own blocks...I would think.

I was actually surprised to see people using the word enlightened myself... Perhaps they didn't mean "enlightened" enlightened?

Perhaps it was simply an indicator of 'more' enlightened - or, 'enlightener'.
Ah well.

I notice that is a common trend actually.

Enlightenment is a belief, a word used to describe a shift in consciousness and understanding, a realization of expanded awareness, but.. it is the contents of consciousness and understanding that affect the actuality of existence..
Be well..

I believe in being cautious, because sometimes these weird stories about enlightenment can be believed by people, and that has the effect of them thinking 'something else', ya, some imaginary thing the story had told of.

Enlightenment is a noun. If realized, it might very well become a verb. Anything else is open for conjecture.
