Enlightenment: Only Attained by the Diligent Few – Part 1/2

November 11, 2014 by Wes Annac

Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness, November 10, 2014 – https://tinyurl.com/mq9zdmc

Enlightenment is a beautiful, sacred and revolutionary process of spiritual growth, and it isn’t widely available to everyone.

Only those who are willing to take a serious, discerning look at themselves and determine what needs shifted and transformed before they can open the doorway to enlightenment will do so, and as we’ll learn here, most people don’t ultimately attain it.

Most people don’t even know about it yet, but I think more will become aware as the planetary vibration continues to rise. Beyond its beauty and sacredness, enlightenment seems to be a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable process of total ego death, and most people aren’t yet ready to embark on such a journey.

Those who are will find that they’ve embarked on one of, if not the most difficult paths they could ever hope to traverse, but the result will eventually be the attainment of unhindered spiritual bliss. The difficulty that comes with attaining enlightenment is well worth it in the end, but this doesn’t make the journey any less difficult.

Anyone who embraces the enlightenment path with the expectation that it’ll be easy might be in for some disappointment, because it requires the ability to express undistorted mastery in the face of all odds; in the face of the greatest temptation-based adversity we’ll ever experience.

There are a lot of things about this world as it currently stands that don’t match the enlightened, masterful state of mind so many seekers are ready to embrace, and in order to attain enlightenment, we’ll have to be willing to shed and transcend everything about ourselves that isn’t in alignment with the higher realms we seek to grow back into.

We aren’t meant to be perfect here on earth – we’re going to make mistakes, and it’s to be expected. However, when the time comes for us to willingly and continually embrace the higher realms and the path that’ll lead us back into them, we’ll want to embrace the idea of mastery; of flawlessness.

We’ll want to embrace the idea of becoming gods in our own right, and anything less will cause us to fall short of our ultimate goal of enlightenment. Here, I’d like to look at what some of our spiritual teachers have said about the difficulty of this journey and the fact that few will successfully embark on it.

As we’ll learn, few seekers receive the call to embrace enlightenment and hardly any are able to act on its requirements. I know I’ve had my fair share of difficulty. It can be a rough journey, and we can’t expect to perfect it overnight, but some seekers won’t answer the call at all because of the inherent difficulty involved.

Personally, I can’t say I blame them!

According to the Upanishads, “To many it is not given to hear of the Self. Many, though they hear of it, do not understand it. Wonderful is he who speaks of it. Intelligent is he who learns of it. Blessed is he who, taught by a good teacher, is able to understand it.” (1)

Lao Tzu tells us that few can remain mentally still enough to achieve enlightenment.

“In all the world but few can know Accomplishment apart from work, Instruction when no words are used.” (2)

Sri Krishna poses the question of how many seekers will act on his teachings.

“Then tell me how many Of those who seek freedom Shall know the total Truth of my being? Perhaps one only.” (3)

He also tells us that “Fools pass blindly by the place of my dwelling Here in the human form, and of my majesty They know nothing at all, Who am the Lord, their soul.” (4)

We have a constant opportunity to attain enlightenment, and even though it’s a gradual process that requires a lot of inner training, we’re never left without the ability to embrace it. We’re given plenty of advice and guidance from various spiritual teachers who encourage us to seek Source within, but ultimately, we’re the only ones who can embrace this path.

Everyone’s given an opportunity, but only some will take the opportunity and transform it into awareness and enlightenment. Awareness seems to be a catalyst that eventually allows us to experience full-on enlightenment, but awareness by itself isn’t enough.

We have to be willing to embrace this path in the face of any and every temptation to feed former ways of being that no longer serve us, and even though it can be difficult, the reward will be far worth our diligent efforts.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us that “Many are called, but few are chosen.” (5)

He also tells us “Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (6)

By ‘life’, he refers to eternal life, which we’ll find in the spiritual realms, and you’ll notice that he seems to reference the difficulty of the path with the phrase ‘narrow is the way’. Learning about enlightenment is very easy, but attaining it requires us to embrace this narrow path instead of embracing the wide-open pasture of misaligned, lower-vibrational life.

He also tells us that roughly one in a thousand people will actually become enlightened.

“I shall choose you, one from a thousand, and two from ten thousand.” (7)

This number could very well increase since consciousness and awareness are growing in this day and age, and even though awakening was more difficult in the past, it seems a little easier in our current society, where people are awakening and embracing various spiritual paths every day.

No matter what path we embrace – enlightenment; ascension; some other religious or spiritual path; they’ll all lead us back home as long as they’re genuine. Any genuine belief system that isn’t founded on distortion and suppression will help us find our way back home, but the enlightenment path seems to be one of the most potent ways to get there.

It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
