As you wrote — enlightenment IS who YOU are, not something you learn.

Be well — be in peace — Ron

I am also reading a book called The Joy of Living – Unlocking the Secret & Science of Happiness by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.

I am on page 92 of chapter 5 – The Relativity of Perception on the section called Impermanence.

I was on Amazon.com and it was recommended to me and I felt like I should get the book although I had no idea why.

Sometimes I wish I could forget I ever heard about enlightenment and just pretend life was more normal again and just live a regular life, but then I get so miserable that I run back to enlightenment as my only hope for being happy.

I keep going back and forth between ego and nonego. You cannot serve two masters just popped into my head.

Just a few of my current thoughts.

Katherine

I think I will experiment and get out of my own way for a minute and see what comes to mind to contribute to whomever reads this, if anyone does. Here goes:

Be a channel for your own Higher Self to express in the world. Get out of your own way. This course is definitely confusing to the ego, so do not be the ego!

Put the ego aside and let the sunshine of love and happiness in.

There is nothing to figure out. I already know everything.

Trying to find enlightenment is just a delaying tactic of the ego, not wanting to step aside. You may play this game as long as you wish.

When you are ready to be happy just set aside your ego and listen to and be your true self. Just let the answers bubble up from the inside and come to the outside. There is no question that does not have an answer, for I know everything. It is not a question of learning for you are part of Me so you can know anything that I know. That is how the Buddha attained enlightenment. He just wanted to know so badly that he let his ego get out of his way and let himself remember who he truly was. He quit playing games. It is all a question of what do you really want. Do you want to puff up your ego by “trying to find enlightenment”. Your egos love that! Or do you want enlightenment, which is your own true nature?

You cannot be you (ego) and be Me at the same time. Which one do you really want?

Be ego or be Me – make a decision! The Buddha did!

Enlightenment is not something you find. It is something you already are! It is reality. Just quit being your ego and be yourself and you are enlightened. Then there is nothing left to learn, because you already know everything knowable because I do. Just ask whatever you want to know and listen to the answer come from the inside – from Me – God – Creator.

Don’t learn – LISTEN TO ME – LISTEN!

Enlightenment is who you are, not anything to learn. You can’t learn enlightenment you can only be enlightenment.

Remember Jesus said I and my Father are one and the same, because We are. You are me and I (God) am you and I am what everything is made out of because I am all that is and I have all the answers and as soon as you remember this you can stop trying so hard to learn on your own and just listen to me and talk with Me and just be happy and listen and enjoy yourself and your life.

Listen to Me and not your ego and be happy!

Keep listening!

Message from God brought to you through Katherine while she got out of her own way for a change!

I (God) love you, people. Please quit ignoring Me while you say you are trying to find Me. I am right here, inside of you. Just listen to me, like any friend you want to be nice to!

Peace (Me!) be with you! It is up to you. I will not force Myself on you if you would rather visit with your ego.

Bye! Katherine ego let Me bring this message to you by getting out of the way so I could speak.

I love you and I miss you! Please come visit with Me instead of your ego!

God.
