Enlightenment and God Realisation.

Enlightenment is your natural state. It can never be fully explained by your mind. But it can be fully lived from, appreciated and understood only in your heart and from the love that is there.

How can we explain the concept of enlightenment to the mind? What is the purpose of us having a mind?

Enlightenment is initially a state of the preciousness of the fragility of love in the heart, but it is largely being controlled from the mind whilst we are living within these lower worlds and inhabiting a human body. The journey of life is one starting from the mind and its sidekick or its attachment of the ego, back to the gentle disposition and fragile peacefulness of the inner being of the heart. This inner being in the beginning needs this outer buffeting strength factor of the mind to cushion the experiences harshly being given to the body and its mind to enlighten the unconscious love held within the heart to a new state of conscious love.

Love was always enlightened unconsciously, but the explanation of why consciousness never knows this is because consciousness starts in the mind, and it is left there until it mixes enough with love and the unconsciousness of this love. When this is allowed to take place until enough experience is gained, the understanding and wisdom gained now lifts the unconsciousness towards consciousness, and so love moves or manifests itself into another state of itself.

This results in creative output in new ways being adding now to its previously held unconsciousness of its love. A new state of conscious enlightenment is now created. By crisscrossing itself in this way from its majestic living the whole of enlightenment begins from an unconsciousness of its enlightenment and which is said to be the first step towards forever new steps and new experiences. These new steps move soul upwards from itself through its mind to reach now a new and higher conscious form of itself obtained from mixing itself into individual separation and having real experiences of conscious limitation growing into its unconsciousness.

The first step to enlightenment is knowing yourself in this form of self realisation or self recognition. God realisation comes next when the conscious enlightenment of love is experienced now from the individual soul placing itself consciously back into its place within God to function optimally within him as the part that it is within God. God then enlightens more himself at the same time even as each
