What is Enlightenment?

It is achieving a sort of equilibrium where you have a quality of Peacefulness and Fearlessness combined.

You understand the nature of the universe and you experience who is not in harmony with that and also who is. You also look at the potential of every being to have peace and Fearlessness too in a useful harmonious way.

The universe does not really surprise you in a terrifying way anymore.

Life and death makes sense and your place in the universe makes sense to you in a mechanistic and also humane way.

So, you tend to see everyone (all life) as your children and grandchildren and you wish to help them in any way you can because in helping them you also help yourself because there really is no way to separate any part of life from any other part of life.

Because in the end there is only one life, one being in the universe and we are all the many aspects of that one being.
