Just look at nature.
Look at how perfect the distance the earth is from the Sun
that warms us up just right and doesn't fry us.
Just look at the tree sap that goes down each Winter and comes up again each Spring.
Just think how marvelous the gravity of the moon is that stops the waves from wiping out all the coastal cities.
The instinct of a salmon to travel thousands of miles back to its birthplace.
Who put the first instinct in the first animal?
Who put the first instinct in the plant life?
If I never had a Bible, I would still know and believe that God existed just because He is everywhere in nature.

You have asked for someone to prove they are spiritually enlightened by proving the omnipotence of God.
Why do I need to prove my own spirituality? Is there anything I can say that would really change your heart? Would another discussion of Christ's virgin birth, sinless life, guiltless sentence, crucified death, and glorious resurrection change your mind?
Prove to me why I should use the limited time God has given to me to witness the Gospel to someone who has heard it countless times and refuses to listen when there are people in the world today who have never heard of him, and I will prove to you why I MAY or MAY NOT be "spiritually enlightened".
However...
Is the God you ask about the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? If so, then you have proved HE is omnipotent because HE is powerful enough to make you ask about something you may not believe is real.

I don't feel like playing my God is better then yours. If my God or your God had trouble with a particular event, they would proberably ask the other God for help.
Am I spiritually enlightened? Yes I am. I realize I have much more to learn before this life ends.
Hails to the occult,

Unlike the pevious poster, I'll "succumb" to your request: You need only consider the ever-present teleological referencings from a cosmological perspective: a "second-stage" sun was required just for us to exist... We needed to be a certain distance from the sun and we required a moon of significant mass than could influence the tides on earth... and "Gee, Gosh, Willikers, ain't it grand that the moon at this point in time just eclipses the sun enough to allow us to begin the study of the sun's corona before the time of our present technologies... I wonder if there's a reason? We are here under a lot of particularly wonderous circumstances, and I just don't buy the whole "winning the lottery" "BS!" There are simply too many "lotteries that we have "won" and statistically, it is easier for me to believe in the intelligent design of an omnipotent, omniscient, & omnipresent God than to buy the "random chance cr@ppolla!" There, is that spiritually enlightened enough for ya? I have more, but for that you'll have to 'IM' me (you have my handle) OR visit my group's blog at blogspot.com below:

1. If God is omnipotent, then He can do anything.
2. Therefore, God can create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it.
3. But if He cannot lift it, then He is not omnipotent (because that is one thing He cannot do).
4. And If He cannot create such a rock, then He is likewise not omnipotent.
5. Therefore, God cannot be omnipotent.

When you were a child, 4 or 5 years old, you knew He existed and you didn't doubt He existed and that He was like a superhero. I'm not spiritually enlightened; I just believe like a child does.

If you was serious I my say something to this effect: He is and will always be to me. I may say something to this effect: The soul of man is as a soul of an animal until it has been re-birthed, with all of the considerations of a dog in heat. They are nothing more than something that goes by instinct, until they ascertain a higher power. One that can lift them above the animal like existence they maintain. This is the reason for Christians they have found a way to rise above this. They believe in the Holy Son of God.

Clown, spiritual enlightenment INCLUDES the Bible.
Prove evolution without using science, ok?

G-d is pure energy. As energy he is every where. His energy is within us and within every living and non-living thing. When we speak or send a thought out into the universe Supreme Energy acts with our energy to make that desire a reality. Spirit is another name for energy. We all have a part of G-d's spirit (energy) within us. So when it is said we are made in G-d's image, it means we are co-creator's on Earth with G-d. We do have the ability to create the life we want.

and then! what will you do!?
If you believe nothing will make you disbelieve, and if you don't it is very hard to get you to believe. By asking this question, the way you asked ! you are not looking for enlightenment, but to get more materials to reinstate what you already think is the truth!
