Enlightenment: Not thinking you know but knowing you don't.

Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, be the life you are, and see what you find out for yourself.

There used to be a time when i thought of god i'd look to the power in the sky, now when i think of god i look at the power within myself.

What does your direct experience tell you about seeking a person or a place in the future? The very act of doing so means that you choose to tell yourself that things are not okay right now. This creates an inner conflict with yourself as you resist reality. It is like saying to the present moment “I WANT this," and reality replies “Okay, you WANT this.” And, once more, nothing changes. There you are, wanting, resisting, and challenging the essence of life that is unfolding in front of you.

It was a real life experience.

Spirituality is not about being fixed; it is about God's being present in the mess of our unfixedness. (Messy Spirituality)
