Experience is a great teacher. You will have to go through the trials and tribulations and the ecstasies and abandoned moments of wonderfulness that all of us did on the way to enlightenment.
Frederick LenzMindfulness is when you are engaged in activities but the mind is set into the meditative state all the time. Meditation is to be aware of many different levels. It's not just the absence of thought.
Frederick LenzHow do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.
