The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.

In this existence, not even a particle can ever be created or destroyed. Yes,
to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.

Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
Life should be full of colours! And each colour is meant to be seen and enjoyed separately, for if seen all mixed together, they will appear all black. Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
