Never More Enlightened

The reality is, you will never be more enlightened than you are right now!

It's like happiness. If you're not happy now, nothing, NOTHING will
make you any more happy in the future. Nothing will change that -
nothing will change who or what you are. Certainly circumstances will change. Circumstances always change. That is the nature of the flow
of life. But the moment you depend on some circumstance to make you
happy, you're sunk. As Socrates said, "He who is not contented with
what he has, will not be contented with what he doesn't have."

Enlightenment is the same. Enlightenment is not something to be
achieved. It is like happiness - it is what is already present when
you let go of their being something wrong, like the idea of NOT being
enlightened. When you recognize that the "I" that is seeking, is
itself nothing of real substance other than an idea of seeking, and
that the sense of Presence, of 'I AM'-ness has always and already
been present, then you can be happy, peaceful, and FREE of bondage,
free of suffering, free of illusions of some future enlightenment and
happiness. The Reality is NOW...deeply rooted in the beauty of this
mystery called Here and Now. It is not in a past 'experience' nor in
the future when 'such and such' happens. It is always right
NOW! Stop and be the Presence that IS. Spread that wondrous
Recognition. Be the Enlightenment that is What You Are. Now DANCE!

With Infinite Love & Gratitude,
Aja
