The path to Enlightenment comes from the most internal of your heart...no any other words can descript or replaced .... The Heart.
All external form: Hated, Sin, Cruel, greed , Comparison between people, like or dislike, good or bad......all grow from your heart.
so, if u manage to get rid those ure heart will be as pure as water, and as clam as the cloud, u have gain enlightenment.
------------------------------------------------------
To cure your heart u must know that all our 6th senses are link to the heart.....eyes, ears, tougue, smell, body, feeling....
Try this example for what I mean: if ure heart did not tell your mind to take note of the car passes-by registery number, did your mind automatically note down the numbers?
So Hated, Sin, Cruel, greed , Comparison between people, like or dislike, good or bad all comes from your heart,
***If u want to find the path of enlightenment it is from your heart that u need to find an answer from.

Actually...it starts behind this shack in West Virginia. It is kind of tough to see because not too many people walk on it. It leads up into the Appalachian mountains.
There are rumors that a similar path exists somewhere in the Himalayas. You might want to take a look around there as well.

Enlightenment means to be free from all impurities of the mind and attachments of things. Impurities of mind are greed, hatred, anger, jealousy, ego, pride, and all the negative thoughts and feelings. Attachments of things are clothings (appearance), any kind of addictions, and any kind of things that you do too much. One of the path to enlightenment is by meditating on Love (selfless love). This will help you by transmuting all the negative energy imprinted inside you at the cellular level to that of love vibrations. Love vibration is the highest frequency there is and can transform all negative energy. Another way is by meditating on the breath- going in and going out.

Enlightment is when we have accepted
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior knowing that He died on the cross for our sins.
Our bodies are not ours, they belong to Jesus so all we are is a vessel to hold the Holy Spirit.
Knowing all this, Enlightment happens inside of us. We have to change how we think, how we would react to things, or how we would not react to things. And when we do make that change of how we think, we seem to have everything we need.
All religion is is the fulfilling of the need to 'meet' with Christians of the same beliefs, pray with others.

The path to enlightenment and salvation is in Jesus. Read the Bible and study what it says.

Seek and you will find,knock and it will be opened unto you. Tak e the mind into the heart and experience Divine unconditional love. Externally practice mantra (repetition of GODS name & meditation on GOD. you are standing in the middle of your pathway to GOD,"NOW". listen to your true guru (TEACHER) within your own heart. IF you need help see on net Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa ,

Internal. And there is the hard way and the easy way.
The hard way (stages of progress):
1st stage: You see the tree as a tree.
2nd stage: You see the tree as not a tree.
3rd stage: You see the tree again as a tree.
Meaning:
1st stage: You see the tree as a tall tree, short tree, beautiful tree, ugly tree, etc - ignorance, dualism, etc.
2nd stage: You succumb to the mistakes of false emptiness and annihilation of everything when in fact life is immortal.
3rd stage: You begin to realize that everything is your own mind-projection. There is no tall tree, no short tree, no beautiful tree, and no ugly tree. Because it is just a tree.
The easy way:
Understand this and you understand yourself and God...
"I am the dream, dreaming as the dreamer.
God is the dreamer, dreaming as me."
