Being enlightened is just a perspective. It is not a place. It is not a destination. It is a state. It is a point of view. It is a contextual framework. Each enlightened person will behave differently than all other enlightened people. You won’t do it the way I do it. I won’t do it the way you do it. There is no one right way or wrong way to be enlightened. Why? Because enlightenment is just a perspective about existence. Here are some of the definitions from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary to help put this idea into context. Merriam-Webster’s Definition…

The mind is not designed for creativity, calm, or peace. In fact, listening to your intuition is ridiculous to a mind…

What does it mean to you?

Enlightenment. It still seems odd to me at times…the word, that is. It has been since February of 2017 that I stepped into an enlightened state of consciousness. That’s almost two years of being on an enlightened path, and still, I have residual dogma and sometimes embarrassment about using that word. I mean, come on! I swear like a drunken sailor, I enjoy an amazing glass of red wine or three occasionally, and my children (I swear) would try the patience of Buddha or Jesus. I ain’t exactly the picture of a wise man on the side of a mountain,…
Laci Buller, Beverly Hills entrepreneur and real estate professional, shares the power of questioning everything. An interview by Lindsay Andreotti (Lindsay) Having a Quiet Mind.

I have access to different solutions that were not otherwise available. Frankly, it feels like I don’t have “problems” anymore. I just have new and profound insights and clarity.

I recently received a wonderful message telling me that the way you get The Drunk Monkey to stop talking was through Mantra Based Meditation. Which I happen to agree with in spirit. But what happens after you stop meditating? After 40 years of meditation and inner work, I believe I have added a deeper layer to the concepts of mind, unconscious mind, consciousness, soul etc. In a nutshell, I have figured out a way to get The Drunk Monkey to stop talking altogether. 1.
