Enlightenment

[AYPforum]

What is Enlightenment?

Enlightenment is a state of balanced union between our two natures: pure bliss consciousness, and our sensory involvement on this physical earth. That is the definition of yoga, and the destination of all religion.

The evolution of experiences is a complex and personal journey, but has a certain pattern to it. There are three identifiable stages:

First comes the rise of silence from regular meditation. It is also experienced as an increasingly steady state of peace, happiness and bliss.
Second comes the rise of ecstatic experience in the body and surroundings.
Third, as our attention comes to reside naturally in the omnipresent,undulating blissful silence in all things, we become that ever-present harmony.
