Enlightenment is a sensory state of enhanced or more complete perception, by the individual in any given present circumstance. It does not need intellectual specialization or superior attributes of any type. It does not require information such as is found in religious or spiritual teachings. Enlightenment in and of itself, does not necessarily give the individual knowledge of the world, and especially human created states and the complications which derive thereof, such as power, wealth, politics or art. Enlightenment theoretically may be achieved by anyone, and does not necessarily require prerequisites such as education, special knowledge or religion. However training offered by various groups in the vein of
Buddhism
or Zen may
be helpful. Enlightenment does not require the traditional Buddhist posture, although it may require relaxation and the absence of all stress.
To achieve a state of Enlightenment may require the practice of the absence of mind, which in actuality means the absence of the use of the Negative Dimension which is the memory, as thinking termed
Present-time Intellection. Enlightenment usually requires
a specific type of, or slow deep breathing, and the absence of thinking or blank mind. This in itself is the difficulty of achieving the state of Enlightenment. Mental activity as thinking is a
distraction to the complete sensory experience of present reality. When one nears the state of enlightenment, thinking becomes an obnoxious racket in the head, like a voice over a megaphone which never shuts up. The state of Enlightenment is so beatific that thinking and what is necessary for it, becomes completely superfluous, unnecessary and undesirable.
