You seek enlightenment?

You yearn to be at peace
Feel purpose, passion and intent
that goes beyond the you that you display

You want to stop the constant searching
Feel contentment and be able to accept and rest
knowing that all is as it should be and that this is enough
Oneness with all

Be warned.  Enlightenment promises all of this and more
Presenting the illusion for you to understand and adapt
But if you seek a restful destination,  then stop.  
Before you cross the threshold know this:

You cannot unknow
You cannot return to blissful distortion
You cannot go back and disconnect from the boundless connection you have found

You will replace 'this shouldn't be' with 'this is' and all the rapture and agony that brings is yours to hold

You will share and feel the joy and pain of everything in the universe
You will love all
Including yourself

You will glimpse the mystery and it will stop your breath in awe and depthless knowing that it is yours to own and always has been

You will be infinitely connected in your moments of awareness
infinitely alone in your moments of illusion
No one without the other

Non-duality
