Enlightenment is the ability to see beyond all the things we make God to find God. We make religion God and so fail to see godliness where religion is not, though goodness is clear andconstant in the simplest of people, the remotest of places. We make national honor God and fail to see the presence of God in other nations, particularly non- Christian nations. We make personal security God and fail to see God in the bleak and barren dimensions of life. We separate spirit and matter as if they were two different things, though we know now from quantum physics that matter is simply fields of force made dense by the spirit of Energy. We are one with the universe, in other words. We are not separate from it or different from it. We are not above it. We are in it, all of us and everything, swimming in an energy thatis God. To be enlightened is to see behind the forms to the God who holds them in being. .Anonymous
