On attaining Enlightenment we experience multiple paradoxes. We are put in a position where we are faced with the infinite and the finite simultaneously.
Although Enlightenment is an unlimited, boundless, undifferentiated State, we retain our lower vehicles that exist and work within limits. Our mind, emotions and even our physical bodies can be thrown into turmoil as we desperately try to come to terms with our Spirituality. That’s what these vehicles have always done; they try to make sense of our world.
The problem here is that our world has just exploded beyond anything we could possibly have imagined and nothing makes sense anymore!
The solution is one of acceptance and time.
We need to accept that we will never be able to intellectually come to terms with what has happened. We need to realize that this is the way it has to be. God cannot be quantified, compared and understood. God (Oneness) just Is. We need to allow this to simply be and not feel we need to comprehend it.
As a result of our Enlightenment we are as individuals essentially the same, hence: “before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment chop wood carry water”. However, our perspective of life has changed completely; we continually see things from diametrically opposing points of view. So for example we may feel the pain of a person suffering but at the same time realize that “from Enlightenment” everything is perfect and suffering is an illusion!
Many of the things we have learnt as we travelled along the Path such as Karma and Reincarnation are also challenged. Neither can possibly exist in a complete Oneness. We need to be able to develop the flexibility to see things from both perspectives and accept the anomalies. It is just like looking at a coin; we can observe the head, turn it over and see the tail. This does not upset us as we know that both exist simultaneously; we simply choose which side to observe at any particular time. This is what we must do after Enlightenment, to be able to accept two apparently opposing views and simply flick between them like the sides of a coin.
Another reaction that follows Enlightenment is the frustration that is felt because you are surrounded by people who appear completely “lost”. They are going about their daily lives quite aimlessly and are oblivious to any form of expansion of Consciousness. From where you now sit the Path and Spirituality are obvious; why can’t they see it?
Some people will be able to come to terms with the Enlightened State much quicker than others. Our advice is to accept that it may take some time but to keep talking to people who have been Enlightened for a number of years and to know that what you are experiencing is quite normal.. We would also encourage you to meet up with and share your experiences with other people who have just attained Enlightenment. Although the things you are wrestling with may be different you will see that there is commonality and that you all have challenges to overcome.
Please feel free to speak out both to us and when in Meditation. The Hierarchy are always There; ask Them for help at any time, They are always listening.
Much has been discussed about the State of Enlightenment. To aim for it yourself and then to pass it on to others is the pinnacle of Human endeavour.
Over eons of time Man has sought this wondrous State, waiting to find a Path of Meditation that will lead to Ultimate Freedom that Enlightenment can bring.
The Journey begins when the seeker is Initiated and the time taken to achieve the Higher States can vary enormously from hours to weeks to many years. There are senior members of the Lightwave group who have taken over ten years to progress to Enlightenment but it can take a lot longer, decades in fact. But this is not a race, we must stress this.
Because, as has been stated many times, this new Lightwave of Energy is extremely Powerful and if you align with the Energies you can be Enlightened very quickly.
The upside of this is that more Energy is brought down to elevate the Earth’s inhabitants. The downside is that people who achieve this wondrous State in only a few weeks/months have not had time to integrate their realizations into their lives during their Spiritual Journey.
That is why it is imperative to help the individual to be aware of what is happening, that when a new State of Second Initiation is reached and of course Enlightenment, that the person consolidates by Meditating as much as possible and to ask us, the Spiritual Hierarchy, to explain things that don’t make sense.
Each person is different so will react in different ways to what has happened to them. You may feel you are living in two worlds and be very disoriented; your emotions may fluctuate from amazing “highs” to deep “lows”. Even your physical body can be affected.
But rest assured that gradually you will integrate into your new State and it will seem “normal’ again. But remember what is normal to you in an Enlightened State is worlds apart from someone who has not yet embarked on your epic Journey.
