Unblocking Enlightenment

Unblocking enlightenment requires shifting our approach from seeking a goal to undoing conditioning. The ultimate barrier to awakening is the intense desire to reach it. Because our true nature is already complete, the frantic search itself creates the illusion of distance.

Our true reality isn’t – cannot be – something exotic.

The desire to ‘get’ enlightenment like a trophy or a final destination feeds the ego, which makes the subtle shift from chasing money or status to chasing spiritual achievement.

When we ignore our dark side of pride and attachment to our intellectual understanding of philosophies, we create a barrier to the direct experience of realising what we are.

We must recognise what is blocking the flow of awareness, and adopt practices that allow us to step out of our own way.
