9. The Characteristics of an Enlightened Being

“Enlightenment” is a term that has been used by many people to mean many things. It is an attempt to translate Eastern religion terms such as: bodhi, kensho, satori, moksha, jnana and ushta, which have connotations of insight, awakening, understanding, and liberation. We now want to remove all vagueness from the term by defining it precisely.

You are enlightened when you are living in two experiences:

#1- You have transcended your experience (which is an illusion) that you are only a human being and have recovered your experience of yourself as an immortal spiritual being. You can feel your Self beyond of the physical universe (which is also an illusion) and outside of space and time. (Note: This is an experience, not an idea or intellectual understanding.)

#2- You can perceive and feel the One, the Creator, the Tao, the One Essence of all that is. You can communicate with Her. She has 13 Primordial Characteristics, among them, Oneness, Infinity, Wisdom, Perfection, Beauty, Love, Peace and Joy. You know beyond all doubt you have found Truth. You have returned Home.

Enlightenment has many secondary characteristics including:

● You understand how life really works. Human ideas and beliefs about life are mostly wrong, which is why people fail to produce their desired results, and why they have problems, conflicts and suffering. (These are not natural; they are result of ignorance of how life really works.)

● You are free of all the negative human emotions. You are beyond human pain and suffering. You live in eternity and in divine Love and Joy.

● You recover your innate, divine, creator power. By using your Divine will, you manifest what you want in life. You live in abundance and free of any desire to amass money or material things.

● You are free of the compulsions and obsessions of human beings with accumulation, hoarding, ostentation, one-up-man ship, glorification of the ego, success, power, fame, fortune; and of idolizing those who have these. You may choose to have them or not, but you do not need them for happiness.

● You are free of the External Quest for Happiness. You need nothing and nobody to be happy all the time no matter what occurs in the movie that is your life.

● Your mind is at peace. Your “crazy monkey” is gone. You live free of the judging, invalidation, polarization in good<>bad, criticism, comparisons, and jealousies that consume the mind of the human being.

● You are free of attachment. The arrival of anything “negative” to your life is no distress. The departure of anything “positive” to your life, including death of family, business failures, loss of money, is no pain or suffering. Life is a movie, a parade of experiences. You are not a human lost in the movie, but an immortal, spiritual observer of the plot.

● You know that we are all One and in One, there is no more or less. You are beyond the negative ego of more than<>less than; better than<>worse than. You are grounded in humility and the equality of all beings. Nobody can make you feel less, and you do not feel more or better than anyone else.

● You are transparent to the negative energies, slights and attacks of others. Negative energy flows through you meeting no resistance. You may respond, but you do not react. You live in serenity and peace.
You are free of all the baggage that a human being carries. You are free of the past: sorrow, regrets, resentments, failures, shame, guilt, and traumatic incidents. You are free of the future: of anxiety, worry and fear. You live in present time, in the Eternal Now
.
● Compassion and kindness. You see all your fellow spiritual beings lost in their human dramas. You understand how they are trapped in their victim and suffering–without getting caught up in their dramas. You can see exactly how they are creating their problems and conflicts; you know the solutions to their problems but respect their choice for drama and say nothing if they do not ask.

● Your relationships are loving and serene, free of all negative energy and conflicts. If you want a romantic relationship, you simply manifest it and it is always the ideal person for you at that period in your life (no drama about finding the “right” person). Likewise, if it is time to end a relationship, you do so in love and gratitude for the relationship.

● You as an Unenlightened Human Being (UHB) are living in Stage 2 of the Human Experience which is Drama. Drama is all the rich experience, mostly negative, that we savor during a movie or a game. Drama includes: suspense, surprise, shock, uncertainty, doubt, fear, anger, error, failure, problems, conflicts, guilt, regret, resentment, deception, betrayal, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, hate, depression—to name a few. Notice that you go to movies, and play or watch sports, to experience the drama, to feel all that they make you feel while watching them.

● Is your life dramatic? Is your life full of negative emotions, emotional pain? Is your life replete with problems, conflicts, errors and failures? Great! Drama is the purpose of life when you are in Stage 2. You are free to stay in Stage 2-Drama as long as you want.

● An Enlightened Being is beyond Game Conditions and Drama. He is a conscious Creator and Master of Life. In religious terms, he returns from the Valley of Sweat and Tears to the Garden of Paradise. The following table show the difference in the experience and life of a Spiritually Enlightened Being (SEB) compared to an ordinary human being (OHB) still asleep and living in Game Conditions and Drama.

● You will find many more characteristics of enlightenment in the book: Essentiality II: The Scientific, 5-Year System for Enlightenment).

Here is a table that compares the life of an ordinary human in Stage 2 of the Human Experience with that of an Enlightened Being in Stage 4.

Table of Comparison

How lives an OHB: Ordinary Human Being: Stage 2: Avidya (ignorance) Game Conditions, Drama and Pain.

Lives in a single dimension of consciousness and experience: that of a human being. Has no experience of other dimensions; matter is all that is. Ergo, he is materialistic.

His spirituality is limited to belief in dogmas and doctrines of churches and religions. Has no experience of real spirituality.

Death is a tragedy. Lives in fear of all kinds especially of death, both of loved ones and of self. Suffers when loved ones die.

Believes himself at the effect of forces and randomity and mostly powerless to control his life. Lives in Games Conditions and Drama. Has to struggle to manifest what he wants and often fails. Things are scarce; must hold on to them.

Life is deadly serious and you only have one. Life is scarcity in one area or another: health, success, money, love or satisfaction. Life is full of tragedies and suffering.

External Quest for Happiness: seeks happiness by trying to control the externals of his life: relationships, events and situations, and striving to obtain the material things that appear to cause happiness.

Prejudice, bigotry, discrimination, division, exclusion, hate over any difference no matter how unimportant (skin color, religion, culture, gender, etc.)

Life is emotionally painful: anger, anxiety, worry, stress, fear, guilt, sadness, loneliness, depression, etc. Activations of negative emotions are frequent and sometimes long lasting. Struggle to avoid triggers for such pain.

Life is full of evil and many bad people, things and events that should not be. Lives in resistance and aversion to many things.

Ego: Thinks himself either more and better than others (or feels himself less and worse). Use bragging, ostentation, one-upmanship trying to convince others of superiority.

Selfish: “Me and mine, no matter the needs of others. No end to his desire (greed) for more and more and more. Can never be satisfied with enough.

Emotional attachment to others and to things. Loss of anything causes him pain.

Has many addictions: alcohol, tobacco, food (ergo overweight or anorexic) tranquilizers, drugs, cellphone, social media, sex, retail therapy, to name a few.

Seek ease and comfort. Often lazy and irresponsible.

Lies, cheats, steals, defrauds, practices corruption, nepotism and cronyism.

Is a source of much negative energy even in relationships where he says he loves the other person: . anger, invalidation, demands for change, intents to control, dominate or manipulate.

Carries a past full of negative, even traumatic events, and of resentment, even hate. Believes the past shapes and limits him and he has limited capacity to change it.

Often has poor feeding habits (e.g. junk food) and insufficient exercise. Frequently is sick and may have major health problems.

How lives an SEB: Spiritually Enlightened Being: Stage 4: Living in the Light: Unity, Power, Love-Joy

Lives in 3 dimensions of consciousness and experience: human, spiritual, and Essential. Life is fundamentally spiritual. Has seen other dimensions and knows he is only visiting the physical universe.

Experiences himself as an immortal BEing, part of the ONE. Perceives and communicates with Essence. Feels and integrates with Essence: Oneness, Power, Love-Joy.

Lives in the experience of being an immortal spiritual being just visiting earth. Lives free of fear of old age and death. Knows that loved ones also do not die and is free of suffering when it happens, as it must.

Lives as a Creator Being. Knows how to use will and energization to manifest what he wants, which also frees him from any desire to accumulate and hoard. Things and experiences flow through his life with attachment.

Life as a tourist on earth. Life is naturally abundant in all things desired and rich in experiences. Remembers many past lives not only on earth but in other dimensions.

Acceptance and celebration of differences. The purpose of the Creation is the Infinite Expression of the all possible forms of being. “Who am I to deny that experience to God?”

Is free of all negative emotions. And if one should activate, knows how to discreate it on the spot. Can experience anything without emotional activations. Thus lives in harmony with the flow of life, and in serenity and peace.

Life is Divinely Perfect; nothing happens or exists without the permission of Essence, and understands the paradox that life is Divinely Perfect.

Knows we are all individualizations of the One and that all ego is hallucination: there is no more or less in One. Practices humility and equality. Is free of any compulsion to show superiority or to bow to the hallucinations of superiority of others.

Lives satisfied with just what he needs and is free of desire for more and more. Generous with his times and energy and money to help others. Practices service to others as an expression of Divine Love.

Is free of attachment; Life is a flow of people, things and experiences. Loss and gain: all the same.

Is free of the need of external substances or activities to suppress his negative emotions; he has none.

Seeks excellence and perfection, starting with himself.

Values integrity as part of Love.

Is always loving; never generates negative energy. Knows how to and maintains all relationships in positive energy all the time.

Has discreated all negative energy in his past and lives free of it, able to recreate himself in his ideal in the present.

Maintains his physical vehicle with quality fuel, exercise and is in good health. Has cured his body of health problems with energy work on it.

An SEB operates as a ninja in life. He does not seek to be recognized, much less fame (unless he has a Mission that requires it) . He acts with love to produce positive results for self and world and tries to be gone before anyone even realizes

His or her Essence is perceptible and impacts the people around him so they ask and are motivated to start their own process of Awakening.

The great question for your spirituality and for your happiness is: When do you want to awaken from UHB, from not knowing Who You Really Are, from drama, pain and suffering and advance to the 4th Stage of the Human Game: Enlightenment?

Enlightenment is to live on the positive side of life, in Wisdom-13, Power-13 and Love-13. It’s up to you.

We only show you how; we don’t make the decision of when you do it.
