Why is enlightenment so lonely?

Question

It is an awakened state but I know no one who is open and awake. people are blind and clumsy they search only for deeper blindness. They dig a hole of shadow and muk. and become farther from enlightenment.

Answer 1

Dear Moehog21:

I am a Christian, non-denominational, very spiritually-oriented person. (Not occult.) I have studied 21 years of spirituality.

I, too, have felt the frustrations of having learned of things that are not well-known or accepted in our Society. First, I am glad you are in the R&S Forum. We need, very much, to speak with others who HAVE learned many of the same things, and to help put before many others the mind-expanding concepts and thoughts about our souls or spirit-minds.

I think the Master felt His frustrations, also. He called the Sanhedrin members vipers , the Pharisees of His era hypocrites, and the commerce of the money changers and others inside the Temple as defilers of His Father's House.

He did NOT refer to the soul or spirit-mind within them; but to the human Intellect which was unwilling to truly Know of the Father.

When our brothers have a willingness to explore and ADD to what they already know and, then, integrate what is of value to them - we feel peaceful. Because, each of us has something to offer and we want to outflow that information to our brothers. It's about the physical earth plane being a school, a Great Place of Learning that at some point of Eternity we will have learned enough to be Returned to our positions within our Creator.

The brothers and sisters who dig their "heels" in and go the opposite direction of enlightenment, I believe, do not wish to go as far into the Presence of the Creator as those taking in spiritual thought. There are fears. Some souls are not ready for the Great Journey at the present moment. Others feel they would not know if they are taking in the words of demon thinking and will find themselves in the blackness of demon activity. The Bible alone is safe, to them. Fear has much to do with it.

So, we feel lonely and bereft without our brothers and sisters joining us in spiritual knowledge (exploration of our God and of our holy Self!). After all, the more we learn of soul/spirit - the more we feel the One-ness of our Self's which is what God Created. One-ness, Whole-ness, the One-Mind. But, the Intellect of humans desires it's individuality, it's unique personality, it's specialness in how it expresses itself.

Intimacy is of the Mind : The soul/spirit-mind that God Created as a One-ness and that channels Thought that proceeds from God to His Children, (His One Child) and from His Child (us) to Him - both directions. Intimacy is not of the body. In our Ultimate Reality, we exist as part OF God, but not God, inside His essence and embrace. We own Mind and Thought. His Ecstacy travels out from Him through the entire Kingdom that we are. We understand that intimacy is of Mind.

Here, in the world of the physical, so little intimacy exists as we attempt to experience the exchange of thoughts through Intellect to Intellect. The soul or spirit beyond the Intellect is often denied. Thus, we may feel empty. We can never HAVE here, in the physical, what we have learned of about our Home and Eternity. It can not be substituted for - in the physical world, successfully.

Although there are many great Teachers to learn from like: Socrates, Plato, Confuscious, Buddha, etc., I have learned from Jesus and the Holy Spirit outside of the Bible. As that Relationship with the Master has grown, I have come to learn that He and the Holy Spirit are like "appointed Friends." They will give to us what our brothers can not. Their Presence can become quite strongly felt. We can learn to hear the recognizable voice of Jesus teaching us - in our Minds - when we ask questions of Him. The more time spent in the experiences of Them, the less lonely we feel. We CAN reach a state of being - so filled up with Their teachings and having integrated those teachings so well within our Minds, that the loneliness disappears all together.

We must not ever feel we have "arrived" at a certain level of spiritual growth, and not continue on. For if we do that - we are stranded on a level where full integration of the learning available has not YET occurred.

The loneliness of our not HAVING our One-ness with our brothers (due to our human Intellects) wherein we could have spiritual experiences and Knowledge in unification, together, can be disappeared. We need to continue and reach that level where we are so full in our Relationship with God, the Holy Spirit and our Teacher that we no longer feel anything BUT Oneness - regardless of whether or not our brothers and sisters have joined us through their Intellect. We no longer depend upon their Intellects.

In this site, help teach what you know.

Best regards, Lana

Answer 2

We are too old to know the meaning of life. When we are children, we don't question the meaning behind anything, until we are about 4 and then begin to ask the most human of all questions: why? It is when we first begin to ask "Why?" that we inherit the human legacy, or the ability to question everything. (Which includes ourselves and the universe we live in.) We as older people do not acheive any true sort of enlightenment, for we always ask the question "Why?" Children are not I am not touting ignorance, but innocence. We notice that young children are brutally honest and very perceptive of many things, proving they are not ignorant. But they are neither completely aware of the meaning behind what they say, nor have they mastered their own languages yet. Notice that small children of about 3 are essentially much happier than older children of about 9 or 10. But one might say, the 3-year-old's brain is still developing, whereas the 9 or 10-year-old's is much more intelligent. And then this brings up the question "Why?" again. Why are they "smarter"? How do we know for sure? Are there obvious differences in their "knowledge levels"? Human enlightenment is impossible, as enlightenment is not based on knowing things~

Answer 3

The route to enlightenment is through the realisation that there is a universal oneness and humanity through clinging to material delusions chooses to be seperate from it. That is a bleak and depressing realisation that should be enough to encourage anyone to seek true enlightenment and inner peace.

Answer 4

Have you ever read the book, "Illusions" by Richard Bach? Though it was not written just to answer your question, it does. Besides it is a very good book.
As we work our way along our path back to God we have to realize that this work must be done by ourselves and for ourselves. No other can do the work for us. Surely there are those along the way who help and guide. So many people come to depend on others. So many people believe that they are owed by others. So many people are unwilling to accept what they must do and try to lay the burden on others.
Where is the help for those who are trying to walk their path to God? Certainly not from so many who cannot and will not even help themselves. If there were more people walking this path than it would not be so lonely.
We must learn to depend on ourselves, our inner strengths, our will power to succeed on our our journey instead of depending on any outside sources.

Answer 5

It doesn't have to be. It depends on what you're enlightened about.

Some kinds of enlightenment focus only on you, and make you feel separate. Other kinds show you the connections between you and your fellow men and are not lonely, they are loving.

Answer 6

Because few want to see the real light because in the end the truth is painful and harsh. The words ignorance is bliss come to mind

Answer 7

Sounds like you are still working on enlightenment if you can't accept and find friendship and love in other people.

Try not being so judgemental - maybe that will speed you on your path.

I see clearly about 20 days a year If I'm lucky.... Checl out waking the dead, it's a good book you'll enjoy that talks about this.

Answer 9

your enlightenment state is lonely......not the enlightenment state......and you could possibly be the blind one in the muck if you cant see anyone.there

Answer 10

what may be enlightenment to you may not be for me and what enlightenment is for me may not be for you. therefore each individual must find their own path and way to achieve this goal.
