Enlightenment Is Not Up There
Compliance doesn’t come from a lack of access to information, but rather from information overload designed to capture our attention and influence behaviour.
Unless we train our mind to clear the clutter, we will be subject to merely repeating others’ stories.
Once we can clear our mind, we’ll be able to see what obscures our pure view.
The practice isn’t about great learning;
it’s noticing our habitual reactions now.
This shows consciousness the way beyond the mind to enlightenment.
If we think enlightenment is high ‘up there’ somewhere, that belief in an ‘up there’ is our junk. This how we’ve been deceived.
Enlightenment is right here, right now.
