Becoming enlightened is a personal journey beyond the materialist culture of getting that job that pays your 30-year mortgage. Enlightenment reveals truth in which one is free of ignorance, prejudice and superstition. To achieve enlightenment, one must sincerely take these steps. Instructions
Step 1
Discover your personal integrity. Realize that what you observe is what you observe. Learn to see life for yourself. Try not to be swayed by vested interests or those who appear to know or care.
Step 2
Turn off your television. Enjoy classic books such as "Great Expectations," "Gulliver's Travels," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Call of the Wild," "Brave New World," "Canterbury Tales," "Catch-22" and "Razor's Edge."
Step 3
Explore a spiritual path that offers truth and opens the door to knowing who you really are, where you have been and where you are going. Really be adventurous here. Check out all sorts of religions and spiritual paths from Eastern belief systems to more mainstream beliefs here. Only once you see where you fit on the spirituality spectrum can you be truly enlightened.
Step 4
Write out a list of what is most desirable in your life and what is least desirable in your life. Look over the lists and decide if the lists are correct. If they are not correct, then correct them. Once you have the lists correct, follow them completely.Tips & Warnings
