Enlightment

You have tried many doors in your search for enlightenment, all of which have lead to empty rooms and there are many more. Only one door will end your search. I have been through that door; are you ready to follow?
To say I have become enlightened is an understatement. To say it has brought me peace and happiness would be a lie. To look through the eyes of God is to look through the eyes of Truth and who can look on mankind’s condition and not see that they are walking blindly and willingly to a far greater suffering than they have ever known.
If you seek enlightenment, be careful what you wish for and know this, that although your spirit is free from materiality, you will not be able to leave other souls imprisoned. There are and have been, many who have claimed that they have achieved enlightenment but very few have ever achieved full enlightenment. Most who have claimed enlightenment have only seen a part of the Truth, they always try to fill in the gaps with their own logic and it always comes out tainted by their ego or self desires. You will not see in their eyes, the tears that come from the soul, only the smile of self contentment. You will not see their detachment from the material world, only their acquired wealth from selling what they claim is Truth. The truth is not a commodity to be sold; it doesn’t belong to one person to be sold for personal gain for it belongs to a higher power than mankind. There is and always has been only one Truth, though there are many claimed truths.
There are those who would say ‘That is your truth, here is the truth according to many others, all are different so how am I to know which one is the real truth?’ To those I would say; Life is a journey so ask first what is at the end of the path you have been asked to follow, for if you do not know your destination, how will you know if you are on the right path?
There are many paths but only one leads to Truth; it is the path of Love. The path of Love is the only path to Truth, it takes nothing of the material world as a price for passage; its guides seek nothing for themselves, their only profit is your gain and the rescue of another child of Love. Only Love is all that is good and right and in it there is only Truth, for Love seeks only Love and in Love there is no deceit. Love gained by deceit lasts only as long as the deceit and it is then taken back.
Love and its Truth are a treasure that is only safe with those who know its worth. If you would become enlightened, this is your first step out of the darkness. To the enlightened soul, all things are seen; all things are possible but be warned, enlightenment is not for material gain, its gifts are far greater.
What I have I offer freely, my reward is your enlightenment.
