Enlightenment, a feeling of awareness, peace, and joy, comes from within a person, not

from outside sources. Enlightenment is an end to suffering and a feeling of connection to

a person’s own true self and to the world. Enlightenment is being aware of a person’s

own deepest self or Being. People have difficulty experiencing Being because of their

identification with their own minds. Their own thoughts keep them from

finding the stillness needed to experience Being.

When people identify with their thoughts, it blocks their relationships with others, nature,

and God. Those who can observe themselves thinking realize that they are not their mind

beyond the mind. This state of consciousness is achieved when people feel their own

presence beyond their thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies.

moment. The ego, or false self, barely notices the present moment. To the ego,
