Spiritual Enlightenment

Are Spirituality and Enlightenment the same thing? No! Enlightenment is an understanding or a realization of a truth in a given situation, and Spirituality is one such situation.

To be 'Spiritually Enlightened', is to know the 'Truth' in all concepts of Spirituality - life, death, God, Heaven, Hell etc.

How do we realize a 'truth', furthermore, how do we know that we have realized such a 'truth'?

I'm sure that there have been many situations in our lives when we suddenly understand something and a tiny light bulb flicks on in our mind, and we think - "I've got it!" We have thus been enlightened in that area of thought. Throughout our lives, we will experience many light bulbs flicking on in our mind and slowly, but surely, we soon shine bright with knowledge and understanding.

And so, each time we realize a 'Spiritual Truth', a tiny light bulb flicks on in our mind, and we become more and more enlightened - a word of caution though! 'Spiritual Truths' are not your everyday circumstance, they are profound and unbelieving because they run against all that we have been conditioned to believe. They can leave us shocked, stupefied and quite often, horror-stricken. We may cry uncontrollably as the veil of illusion is ripped from our heart and mind, and our Soul maybe left naked and vulnerable against this backdrop of raw truth!

At the same time, though, we may feel a magnificent freedom, as if a heavy weight has been lifted from our weary shoulders and our very Being may shine a rich gold of true bliss, of true joy! It is said that each time someone realizes a 'spiritual truth', the angels in Heaven dance and cheer with joy.

The path to Spiritual Enlightenment is a hard, uphill climb and only those who have a deep desire and tremendous commitment, will begin this journey and not falter. If this is you, and you are at a loss of where to begin, then I would like to invite you to visit my web site - www.myspiritualuniverse.com - where I have prepared a selection of blogs for the novice Spiritual Traveler. These blogs refer to the spiritual eBooks that I have spent the past 25 years studying, resulting in my own self-realization. These eBooks are available on my web site, and are free to download.

I wish you every joy as your own truth unfolds, and I hope to meet you soon!

Peace and Light
