There are numerous ways to define Personal Enlightenment. One possible way besides describing it as a state in which you are consciously and effortlessly aware of the Divine essence lying hidden within all parts of life, would be to say that you have woken up to the fact that you are the creator of your own reality, hence your own life. Meaning that you always have the choice of whether you want to let your awareness rest upon the dark or the light side of the life happening within you and outside of you. And because you have largely eradicated the darkness from your own nature you are naturally letting it rest rather on the bright side. Putting it differently, you have realized your choice between looking at life with the eyes of the Heart or the ones of the Ego-Mind. And although at times you might still chose to experience latter, it is now done in the awareness that it was your own choice to do so. You have assumed utter responsibility for your own st...

In an earlier post I wrote about heart and star-shapes regularly occurring in Nature. Even more frequently you can find forms of circles and triangles. An equal sided triangle within a circle is the pictorial image of the first concrete form that has been built in the course of Creation. Therefore it is little surprising that these two shapes should be visibly present in nature almost everywhere one turns its eyes to. The actual meaning of these two shapes, which man has endowed them with, echo their significance. Circle stands for the Whole and triangle for Fire. Spirit is being equalled to Fire and the circle to Creation. The Eternal Spiritual Fire living within Creation is the original Creator of all successive forms.

Deducing the definition of the word “romance” from the way this expression is habitually employed by most people, one could define it as an active recognition and appreciation of the beauty and light side to life and in Mother Nature on part of the romantically minded beholder. Therefore by awakening to the Divine Truth underlying all created things you are turned into a natural romantic.

Once you have awoken to the Divine Essence responsible for all forms of life, you cannot but help loving each single moment it affords you with and to be grateful even, or especially, for its personally challenging times. Because you have recognized their inherent potential to unlock hidden potential for growth within you and through it to heighten your capacity to love.

In linguistic expressions often hide a wealth of wisdom. So it is with the following words: “By force of habit”. By consciously forming personal constructive habits, you are unlocking a powerful force within your own nature that enhances your capacity for self-realization, enlightenment and love.

Change is beautiful because life is equal to change. Human nature is exceedingly contradictory. Although it fears changes, in many ways it is also dependent upon them and even desires them at times. The human mind can only appreciate things, which are new to it, and because it quickly gets habituated to what it regularly comes into touch with, it soon fails to actively register its surroundings. Meaning it does not notice the changes taking place therein and therefore becomes mostly blind to the changes actually happening. Therefore to see the beauty in life one has to remain aware of life’s continuous changes. Upon entering into the constant awareness of the Divine behind and within all forms of life, you naturally come to notice life’s incessant changes and therefore perceive the beauty everywhere - even in the things your rational-thinking mind likes to find faults with.

To miss or to lose things/situations/people/places etc. exists exclusively in the reality of the Ego. They arise from the belief that life is finite. Therefore to miss/lose a chance, which will not present it-self to you again, is only possible in the dimension of space and time to which your physical body is bound to, however even there this is relative because if you do not limit yourself in your own thinking you might get another opportunity after all. Although the aging of your physical body is a reality, which of course does present limits to a certain degree, even there you can do certain things to maintain its youthfulness (- and I am not talking about facial lifting and anti-wrinkle cream;-) But more along the lines of yoga practices, healthy diet etc.).   Upon the emotional and mental level the passage of time is determined by your personal beliefs and attitude of thinking and provided you are keeping a young and flexible mind you might feel the same whether i...
