The best path to enlightenment for anyone is whatever understandings and practices allow them to experience the unboundaried silence of pure beingness,
while the personal self is surrendering and becoming free in that awareness.

Yes I agree with Tzu, if anyone gives you a path to follow, it will be their path not yours, you must make your own path, don't follow others, in fact there is no path, your already there.

I generally stear away from terms like enlightenment, and it seems to me such a term distracts, where I hold the conviction that attention should remain very much in the present... I mean the awareness of being present.

Enlightenment is not what you -think- it is, so while you pursue it, it will elude you.
Simply live your life under the endeavor to learn everything you can, investigate everything and follow your curiosity. Beware of becoming a follower of anyone or any movement. Life's secrets reveal themselves through experience and observation.

What enlightenment? There's countless kinds, all defined by the worldview they're convinced by.
The enlightenment of a Platonic Theurgist won't be the enlightenment of a Buddhist; the enlightenment of a Christian mystic will be different from the enlightenment of a post-modern philosopher. |

Then I'd say - do that for a month entirely, focusing on the self...
Next month -focus entirely on others...
Following month focus entirely on God...
Then next month just live your life and flow...focus on enjoying.
Play around with the above. Report back to us in 4 months.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
