En-Lightening

The last stanza of En-Lightening written by Tash Shadman is engihetning to me. This is what the author writes: As I return to the now, to the silence, to the knowing that all experience can be amusing and knowing that all experince can be amazing and adored, I return to myself, and I suffer no more. This the final step as I am walking on the path of knowing who I am, my Real Self. This is the last step in my self-discovering and self-realizing pilgrimage. What a joy! It's an awe experince, an experince of wonderment, and an experience for adorement, and an experience of fullness. The boundary that I create by my self-serving behaviors, the bounday created by focusing on me alone at the cost of others well-being. When I become aware of my self-ceated boundary , the wall I have created between me and otherrs , I feel liberated and the words come out of my mouth: Freedom at last! When I love people in my life unconditioally, when I welcome them with my open hearts, when I display my unconditional positve reagrd I get deeply connected with them. And it becomes naturally, effortlessly with practice. Such experiences happen frequently and I bow to the teachers of my life for showing me the path of liberation, the path of my spiritual journey. The concept of being a witness has been profoundly helpful to me. Witnessing is being fully present, fully attentive, fully mindful of what is going in me physcically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. It is a wholisttic way of living midfully.
