Personal enlightenment

Personal enlightenment is simply living from the love within you. Light the fire of love to warm you and not to burn you. This is then enlightenment rather than karma.

Love is the only enlightenment possible. All else is a lesser form. Living from full unconditional love enlightens you by allowing a functioning of love in your heart to be recreated in your soul as a part of God. Soul rejoining God brings a full light of God to that soul because the whole is now working through it and in it. The light of God enlightens the soul to show it to itself.

When a soul meets itself in this way, it is enlightened by the meeting. A meeting with yourself within God is always showing a soul its own love and which has been born from its heart always being and remaining within God. All enlightenment is not so much a removal of darkness from your soul, but an illuminating switching on of love from the heart that was dormant before, only because your ego was controlling the switch.

Enlightenment arises from the silence of love loving. Never does it arise from the noisiness of the ego only trying to love.

This is partly true, because it means that to try to force enlightenment to occur for yourself, this forcing actually move you further away from enlightenment. To try to find the same enlightenment as another soul also takes you further away from your own personal brand of enlightenment.

Personal enlightenment means that it is for you personally, and is only ever your own enlightenment. It is simply being yourself within yourself, while at the same time being the part of God that you also are within God. When you reconcile and live both of these roles completely and simultaneously only from love you take a step towards enlightenment.

The love that is obtainable from both yourself, and from the greater love that is coming from your recognising of your position within God brings you to a complete reconnection to God's love, and this brings you personal enlightenment. Personal enlightenment is a recognising of love working within all things. This includes love working within yourself, within God, within all creation and within all other souls.

This turns out to being only your own love within God being reflected back to you. When you recognise the owner of the reflection, this very embracing of yourself then enlightens you to being yourself, and you then love as you have never loved before.

Enlightenment is never imparted by another soul to you. It is inside of yourself for only yourself
