Enlightenment

June 8th, 2009

I know that we’re living in an age where people are running around talking about how enlightened they are. For those people who are truly enlightened, you have my deepest and utmost respect. If you’re truly someone who has gotten onto a path of higher understanding, that is incredibly awesome.

However, chances are that you’re simply a poseur.

How can I say something like that? It’s simple — those who are enlightened or who are seeking enlightenment are simply doing so. The poseurs are the ones out there who are trying desperately to appear to be more than they are by loudly and proudly announcing,

“Hey, I’m enlightened here! You’re not enlightened, but I’m enlightened. How awesome is that? Huh? How awesome is it that I’m enlightened?”

Just as the really great ones never announce their greatness, the really enlightened ones never go out of their way to talk about enlightenment.

Think about that — especially all you “enlightened” ones out there.
