the New Age approach to enlightenment
Channeled entities teach that we're already perfect, whole, and complete.
Therefore, "it's already finished," we already have what we're searching for. ACIM says, "I need do nothing." Enlightenment is the simple understanding of this.
There was celebrity on TV, who was a meditator, who was talking about his "inner demons." But in doing so, he was recreating past illusions, perpetuating the problem.
If you've had rage in the PAST, don't say, in the PRESENT, "I have a problem with rage." You've HAD rage in the PAST, but if you say you have a problem with rage NOW, you're just recreating the problem.
But if "it's already finished," what about suffering, what about negative emotions? We have to deal with them.
Don't see suffering and negative emotions as a "problem."
J. Krishnamurti says that, if fear (or any form of suffering) arises, and you think, "I must overcome this, I must get rid of this fear," you've just created a conflict, a problem, an illusion.
You don't have to DO anything about suffering when it arises - just let it be, don't make a problem out of it, just observe and accept it, and it will pass.
And in the innocence of that acceptance, there's freedom, peace, and healing - your divine nature.
