As I've gone into soul and soul-land, and I connect with my soul and my ego, and my life is colored by my soul - people can identify from their ego, which is who they thought they are.

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.

It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.

All the great teachers have left a similar message: Go within, discover your invisible higher self and know God as the love that is within you.
