When you continuously know and sense yourself as the space of consciousness rather than what appears in consciousness - sense perceptions, thoughts, emotions - then it can be said that you are enlightened... except that you wouldn't think or speak of yourself as 'enlightened', because that would instantly create another mind-based conceptual identity and so it would be the end of 'your' enlightenment.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.

Do you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life where you are in almost continuous conflict with situations and people? Or is that just a deep-seated mental habit that can be broken? Not by doing anything, but by allowing this moment to be as it is.

You can't argue with what is.... Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

All problems are illusions of the mind.

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.
