Walking the Path of Enlightenment
Written by Brad Austen, Mindful-Meditations.
The path to enlightenment is often called a path because it is a journey through time and space, you don’t simply wake up one day enlightened. It takes time and dedication to the spiritual path over many years and lifetimes. Everyone is at different stages of enlightenment on the planet. Some or more advanced in areas and some are still in infancy in areas. Life on earth supports enlightenment through the challenges, tests and trials we are faced with throughout our life.
On a soul level we choose the tests and experiences before we are born. In this light, there isn’t really such a thing as a “victim”. We always have a choice whether we respond to life through fear or love. Being enlightened doesn’t necessary mean you can walk on water, it means that you have a greater awareness and have stopped living your life by default. It is very easy to live by default; it requires the least amount of effort. It generally requires more effort and consciousness to live an enlightened life.
