Enlightenment Is Being What We Are

Enlightenment is being what we are:
Just consciousness.

If we think we are something else, what could that be? It is only through the silence of awareness, when we drop all assumptions, that we realise that only consciousness itself remains. It’s nothing ‘spiritual’; it’s just consciousness.

All we have to do is drop the act, and the show stops.
That is the practice.

The more we remember what we are,
the more insight is revealed.

We react because we adhere to some belief, some ‘spiritual’ persona which inhibits realisation because of extremely subtle distractions.

Distracted: preoccupied by something.

If we are preoccupied by the form – the ‘performance’ – rather than the essence,
we ignore what we are.
