Enlightenment

Enlightenment

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Albert Einstein

It is important to study the science behind the world, to initially have attachments to learning,  knowledge and desire. Wanting enlightenment will help you pursue it. It makes for a richer understanding as we experience enlightenment.

An intellectual framework for how the ego and desire create delusions will allow us to have an easier time letting them go and experience the nuances of life.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Joseph Campbell

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Anais Nin

The act of enlightening or the state of being enlightened.

The definitions of enlighten, enlightened and enlightenment include the word spiritual which is defined as relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.

As we let go of our preconceived perceptions through the study of nature and existence it is important not to frame it by the terms human spirit or soul. It is by looking deeper into nature and ourselves that we experience understanding and repeated enlightenment.

What is known:

This is defined as thought, as awareness, as consciousness as perception. Therefor something exists even if we can't define what that means.

What is probable:

Some universe is perceived.

There is a perception of self awareness.

The perception of evolution exists.

Evolution:

In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time.

Natural selection requires most spices to be have a wide distributions of traits that can adapt to changes in it's environment. It also requires that there will be random changes to it's DNA. Most of these DNA changes will not be advantageous.

We are all necessary parts of our species.

When we accept that we are all necessary parts we let go of the metaphysical notions of good and evil. We forgive ourselves and others and accept the past and make choices in the moment. We stop living in the past and future as we live here now.

Through acceptance and meditation we perceive consciousness without the needs of the ego. We experience the oneness of existence. Through the study of other species we see that many of them are as aware as we are.

If you are having problems experiencing ecstasy 

redefine ecstasy as what you what are experiencing now

and experience ecstasy as continues, multiple ecstasies. 

Enlightenment, as described in this passage, refers to a state of increased knowledge, understanding, and spiritual awareness. It is achieved through the study of nature and oneself, and involves letting go of preconceived perceptions and ego-driven desires. This process may involve exploring evolution and the interconnections between all living beings, as well as practicing acceptance and mindfulness through meditation.

The concept of natural selection, as described in this passage, refers to the process by which certain traits are passed down to future generations in a population due to their advantageous nature. These traits may help the organism survive and reproduce in its environment, leading to their persistence in the population over time. The idea of natural selection is a central principle of the theory of evolution, which explains how living things have changed and adapted over time.

The passage also suggests that through a deeper understanding of the interconnected nature of all living things and the acceptance of the present moment, we can let go of the concepts of good and evil and experience a sense of oneness with the universe. This may involve redefining and expanding our concept of ecstasy to include multiple, ongoing experiences of joy and fulfillment.
