What Is Enlightenment?
Greetings Everyone,
Recently I have been in a couple of conversations on Facebook and with other friends, where the topic of conversation included, in some sense or another, becoming“Enlightened”.
WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?
Personally I have found this word “Enlightenment” can often pose a problem in conversation because it has such a broad definition, and I find the term means something different in each conversation dependent upon what the conversation is about.
This is a truth, or possibly My truth, because I see Enlightenment more as a journey and not a destination to be attained. This being the case, the term “Enlightenment” means different things to different people depending on their personal Spiritual Journey and the point, (or level) of understanding they currently hold.
The Prussian Philosopher Immanuel Kant, born in 1724 believed…
“Enlightenment was mankind’s final coming of age, the emancipation of the human consciousness from an immature state of ignorance.” [1]
