What is Enlightenment?

What is enlightenment? To enlighten means to inform; to shed light on. In the context of being spiritually enlightened, “the light” referred to is the light of spiritual Truth. You are enlightened when your awareness of spiritual Truths actually informs your life outlook. By contrast, it is possible to know (deep down) that something is right or true and still choose to deny that insight any meaningful consideration in your way of thinking. This resistance to your spiritual evolution is what’s known as kidding yourself.
