Sharing about enlightenment

(This posting is just my personal musing about enlightenment, it does not represent the truth, just my own understanding of this matter presently)

What is enlightenment to you? For some they believe that enlightenment comes only when you are release from samsara, can one be enlighten while still in samsara?
Enlightenment is not an attainment, it is about how much you can let go of the body and the illusion that is our world. There are many schools of thoughts that have different views of enlightenment and with many methods on how to attain this. To attain enlightenment is a desire by itself and many fall off the path because of this, letting go all attachments, and desires will get you closer to it, but it is never an easy path to take.

Ask yourself this question often 'Are you Happy?' if you can always answer positively, then you can stop reading this blog now, I am glad for you, you have it.

Energy is one key component of the path to enlightenment, this is why many practice breathing methods, energy works, reiki and qigong, but all these actually helps promote life, extent life and is opposite of what one wants - to understand death and release oneself from the cycle of rebirth. It is all the worries and fear that we faced as humans that is keeping us down, so why do we want to prolong our life? I don't have an answer, the only thing I can say is if you have no physical body now you will not experience enlightenment. It is the contrast that makes us feel the different emotions and sensations, so the contrast is an important thing to feel, if not you would not know good from bad, light from darkness.

Now here are some numbers to illustrate and to make reference as to understand what I am talking about. Most people have an energy levels that can be measured, people average energy level are in the thousand range (1000), some who done lots of practice would have and energy level that is at the million range (1000000) and others can have energy levels of billion, trillion and quadrillion range.
Most average people would normally have an energy range of below a million, very few would have energy range above a billion. Enlightened masters usually have an energy range above quadrillion but you would not be able to detect this easily, because the energy does not radiate from their aura the same way the average people's aura radiate. (there is no unit behind the numbers as it use as a reference only, so don't ask what million or quadrillion range means)
You can measure your own energy level to see in which range it is at, just ask is my energy at this range (thousand, million,) and you will know where you are at, so how does one raise oneself to a higher energy range?

It is difficult to explain what process must be taken to raise oneself to a higher energy range, but safe to say it is a process of letting go, and not one of adding on. In many yoga tradition, it is said that as you practice, you will attain certain siddhis or powers, this powers appear to show you that you have made progress in your practice, but you are also told to let them go and not get attached to these powers. There are many levers of attainment, and with each level you reached you let go of these powers and move on to let go more till you come to a place of peace. There are many people who have such powers and they use their powers to do healing and to make money for themselves. There is nothing wrong, it is their choice to make, and as long as they are clear of what they are doing it is fine, but some do get caught up with delusion and think that this is enlightenment for them.

You are your own best teacher, an enlightenment master cannot give you enlightenment, you must experience it yourself. When a master give you energy, it is to assist you with raising your energy level or tuning you to the correct frequency for your body, but if you are still caught up with the belief system of our world, you will not be able to move any closer to enlightenment of your mind.
As your energy is raised, your frequency changes and things, people and beliefs that do not match the higher frequency drops off. This is one reason why you need to raise your energy level, and as you drop more garbage from your system, your energy is raised too, because energy is not wasted maintaining the garbage. (you carry in your mind) This is why it is good to have reiki attunement, it is one method that is useful to start the process of cleansing your body and mind.

So far I have just touch the tip of the iceberg, there still many things to explain and I am unable to express all these in one posting, but if you do have any questions to ask me or share your own viewpoint, please feel free to write me or leave a comment.

Thank you
