Enlightenment

by Patricia Hayes

There are many eyes through which we can see. If we look through stagnant, helpless, or trapped eyes, how could we possibly like what is seen? Enlightenment is about intentionally and systematically lifting your perception to reveal greater and greater aspects of self until you realize the ultimate Self, the one we know as God. Self-Enlightenment is the intentional and purposeful ascension of your consciousness with the goal of reaching expanded dimensions of mind and being. Spiritual seekers of Enlightenment want to experience God Realization. This is a state of being Totally Awake and being one with God, which is known as Nirvana. Seekers of Spiritual Enlightenment are in pursuit of inspiration, illumination and a feeling of Oneness with God on a daily basis. They seek vision from a vantage point of Oneness, and they think spherically instead of linearly, combining viewpoints instead of separating them. They continually aspire and intend to bring greater Light to the world, and they are committed to the Divine Plan of Enlightenment. The pursuit of Self-Enlightenment is the greatest service one can do for mankind, for God, and for oneself.

Mystical Experience

by Patricia Hayes

We are what our deep, driving desire is.
As our deep, driving desire is, so is our will.
As our will is, so is our deed.
As our deed is, so is our destiny.
--Brihadaranyaka 1V.4.5

My spiritual quest became a burning desire after reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda back in 1964.

Self Knowledge & Yoga

by Patricia Hayes

Socrates and Plato told us, "Know Thyself". One day a disciple asked Christ, "What is the most important thing we should know?" Christ answered, "Know Yourselves". The disciple didn't like that answer. It didn't seem directive enough and so he asked, "and what next should we know?" The Christ answered, "After you know yourselves, go back and know them some more".

Path

Self-Enlightenment is a journey that begins with the first step. The journey should be taken by one who knows the concept, goals and benefits to his/her life and Being. The first step is a step of commitment to your goal. From that point, everything that is seen, heard or sensed as one ascends the path is viewed as lessons, a spiritual test & challenge, guidance or spiritual confirmation of your self-mastery. The path becomes continually clearer and and more defined as you journey and is continually lit through your daily spiritual practice and meditations that bring about inner illumination.

Avatars & Spiritual Masters

Avatars and Spiritual Masters are an incarnation of God like we all are . . . only they are Self-Realized. Their body, mind and Spirit are focused on fulfilling their purpose of Spiritual Awakening. Avatars come into the world assuming bodily form to protect the good and re-establish universal law on earth. An Avatar is born and lives free and is ever conscious of His/Her mission. By his precept and example, He/She opens up new paths in spirituality and sheds his grace on all.
