...I guess it is not as bad as I might have made it sound. The issue was that I finally understood, without all of the spiritual hype, what enlightenment was about. It was a bit of a shock but the way I like it, direct and to the point. No fluff, no 'journey' to sleek of, no you have to do this then this kind of thing.
Now understanding and 'knowing' of course are completely different. I could spout line and verse, but it would not mean that I am any more enlightened/awakened than the next person.
I am now more into reading Tony Parsons, though I am waiting patiently for Jed's New book
Spiritual Warfare.
One thing I still have a problem understanding. There still seems to be two methods of thinking or direction going on here. One thing I see that Steve may not be aware of or is and it is not coming through. One would be true enlightenment/awakening and the other is more in the intention/manifestation category. I think true enlightenment/awakening does not need intention/manifestation, and intention/manifestation would only keep you from awakening.
Thoughts?
