What is Enlightenment?
Is it something supernatural, or is it natural?
Much depends on what we consider to be ‘natural’.
People can perform extraordinary physical feats;
is that wisdom?
What if enlightenment was so simple
that people did not notice it within them?
Is it the realisation that we are pure consciousness,
rather than this over-reactive mind and body?
Does realising our original reality make us special?
Do we do anything special?
Or does it just release us from all anxiety,
even though a situation may seem complex?
Is enlightenment that simple?
D.T. Suzuki said that enlightenment can be thought of as habitual intuition. Alan Watts, upon hearing this, agreed, saying his experience had borne that out, and added that the people who knew the intuitives thought of them as “lucky.”
Hello Someone,
What do you think?
Are you a lucky one? 🙂
