Enlightenment

When I was 15 to 17 years old I thought enlightenment would mean that I would know everything before it happened, levitate and soul travel sometimes with my body all over the world and to other planets like you might see in the movies.

However, mostly it is different than that:

I would say enlightenment is about helping yourself while helping others to be happier in their lives and making people comfortable if that is all you can do and letting people be themselves while being as kind to them as you can on any given day or night.

So, there is a Saying: "God Helps Those who help themselves".

But I would say it differently: I would say: "God helps those who help themselves while helping others in as compassionate and  efficient ways as possible."

So there are two basic elements here:

1. Kindness to oneself
2. Kindness to others

Then there is finding ways to be a spiritual friend to all the beings you meet.

Now, don't freak out about feeling inadequate to the task.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

So, either learn to be kind to yourself

Or learn to be kind to others

And some of you are already good at both.

What comes from learning to be kind to others and oneself?

Grace comes from this.

The gratitude from you for having the freedom to help grace other people's lives and the gratitude you will feel at having the grace from God to Grace your own lives and your children's and Grandchildren's lives

Is Truly the Motor of Life

Gratitude to God is the Motor of life itself.

Kindness is the key to gratitude is the key to Grace is the key to unlocking the infinite bounties of God which spread everywhere through our hearts.

By God's Grace
