Enlightenment: Simply your natural state of felt oneness with being.
Being is the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death
- Deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence.
When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
- To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of “feeling-realization” is enlightenment.
Whereas mind energy is hard and rigid, Being energy is soft and yielding and yet infinitely more powerful than mind.
- The mind runs our civilization, whereas Being is in charge of all life on our planet and beyond.

God is Being itself, not a being
- The word Being explains nothing, but nor does God.
- Being does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity.
- It is impossible to form a mental image of it.
- Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being.
- It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization “I Am” that is prior to I am this or I am that.
- So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.
