Exploring Enlightenment
Truth Resonates stands for the view that it is possible to heal the world and achieve heaven on Earth in this lifetime, as a result of the energetic technologies that we and others are introducing to this world. One of those technologies is the Siddhi Particle, which allows for the direct and immediate transmission of enlightenment, among other attainments.
Enlightenment is the movement into the greater recognition of unity of all things sufficient to allow us to see our attachments to the stories and dreams we tell ourselves as attachments, as karma. That karma is all of the unresolved energetic relationships we have ever experienced: all of our anxieties and fears; all of the stories that we tell ourselves that keep us in the future and the past, away from the present moment; all of our clinging and craving and aversion; all of the manifold ways in which we cause ourselves to needlessly suffer.
An unenlightened being is trapped inside of the stories we tell ourselves via webs of karmic attachment. For all of us, there have been moments when we were deep inside a story, attached so firmly to it that we thought there was no escape. At other times, we found ourselves much more loosely attached to a story, able to occasionally see how the story we have been telling ourselves is not the only story that can apply in the circumstances, and our reality is not as limited as we had previously thought. Occasionally, we had moments of transcendence, in which we could temporarily let go of our attachments and step outside of the stories. In those moments, we see the attachments for what they are – simply energy that can gently integrate with us once we perceive it – before the meaning-gravity of the stories pulls us back into them once again.
Enlightenment, at its core, is the recognition at a level of knowing, beyond any intellectual understanding, that we have the capacity to fully heal ourselves. From that elevated vantage point, we are oriented much more directly towards our own divinity, and able to begin the process of healing in a way that never before was possible.
There are many different known paths to enlightenment, and many different enlightenments that result. There is the non-dual path, in which one finds enlightenment through the collapse of dualities. There is the shamanistic path, in which one finds enlightenment through merger with all beings. There is the oneness path, in which one finds enlightenment through recognition of one’s connection with All That Is. There is the Buddha’s path, achieved through recognition and understanding of the three characteristics of impermanence, suffering, and no self. There are many more traditions, and many more enlightenments.
At Truth Resonates, we provide many of those enlightenments, and much more. The enlightenment most commonly given in our teaching when someone is beginning their journey in earnest is enlightenment through the path of perceiving all things as energy — as form in motion. It is from there that we can see our karma as energy - reflected as a pattern of sensations on our body - that can be directly manipulated with our consciousness. Upon conscious recognition of a karma, we can choose to process and resolve the karma in the moment. We can quickly release almost any aspect of our conscious experience that we focus our attention on, so long as we do not turn our focus away until its resolution.
Without enlightenment, our perception is obscured by grit—the ingrained stories we tell ourselves that limit our ability to work directly with karma. This grit serves as a barrier that keeps us enmeshed in the ocean of karma, preventing us (except for brief moments of transcendence) from seeing these energetic attachments for what they truly are. Upon receiving this enlightenment, the obstructive grit is removed, allowing us to see clearly. Suddenly, the waters of karma become translucent, and we can navigate them with newfound ease and precision. This is not to say that the karma disappears instantaneously, but rather that our ability to recognize, process, and resolve it is greatly amplified.
In the movement into closer unity with all things that is enlightenment, a major point of grit is removed from the path of spiritual growth, enabling a process of dramatic clearing and of seeking greater enlightenment that is attainable in this lifetime, simply by the focusing of attention. Day by day, we can improve ourselves meaningfully. With enlightenment, we gain access to many astonishingly effective mental tools, a new frame of reference, that empowers us to free ourselves of all suffering in this lifetime, at our own pace, when and how we desire.
Many balk at the concept of enlightenment, due to the cultural connotations associated with it. When people conceive of an enlightened being, they think of a monk in the mountains who has been meditating for 50 years in near isolation. When such a person becomes enlightened, it is as if the floodgates open, and all of that accumulated radiance can shine forth. All of the mental work has been done by that point, and enlightenment removes the grit preventing all of the karma from dropping away nearly at once.
For someone receiving enlightenment from us at Truth Resonates, the radiance is rarely readily apparent at first. Here, the script is flipped; enlightenment is attained much earlier in the journey, when there is still much work to do on ourselves. For someone enlightened in such a way, the radiance of enlightenment comes later, as the deep work is undertaken. After enlightenment, we focus on coming into conscious recognition of our karmas and all aspects of our experience that we are holding onto as a ground that have not yet been released. We further focus on embodying the principles of unconditional love, compassion, empathetic joy, equanimity, and sovereignty in a way that yields a life of consistent wholesomeness. As we come into such recognition and more deeply embody those virtues, the intrinsic love and radiance of our being blossoms forth.
Some have argued that enlightenment can only come from personal struggle; that receiving enlightenment as a transmission is too easy. At Truth Resonates, we see enlightenment as a piece of magical technology that gives us a better way to achieve our growth. For us, there is little difference in certain core respects regarding the creation of the Siddhi Particle (the energetic technology that permits the transmission of enlightenment) and Nikola Tesla’s creation of the electric motor. They are both technologies that were created by people who stood on the shoulders of countless other people, and in coordination with countless other beings. We need not work out electromagnetism from the ground up and be able to design and build an electric motor before we can use it to make life better for ourselves. Similarly, we need not work out the entire frame of spirituality without any support, and we need not craft our enlightenment entirely by ourselves in a vacuum.
We need not go through the process of clearing and healing without the tools, concepts and support of friends and peers. Instead, we can choose to use tools like enlightenment and teachings that resonate to make the process much more achievable, and with less suffering. The important questions with respect to both enlightenment and the electric motor are: What next? What do we do with the technology once it is in our possession? Just as the electric motor can take you great physical distances, enlightenment can bring you to uncharted realms of existence. In either case, you have to desire to travel and take action forward on your journey.
For those of us who achieved enlightenment without the aid of the Siddhi Particle transmission, we would have happily taken such a transmission had we been offered the opportunity, since what we were looking to do was get a better motor for our minds, in order to more easily achieve great things, with less suffering for all. That said, there are a number of individuals learning from Truth Resonates who for their own reasons have decided not to become enlightened at this time via the Siddhi Particle. All of those individuals are supported in their seeking and are offered a number of other techniques and attainments to aid their spiritual growth, each choosing those which most closely align with how they would prefer to seek.
