![]() I like to think that this is the mountain where God lives. It is called Tetakawi. It is in Sonora, Mexico. It was there, in the shadow of this mountain, that I discovered enlightenment. I had sat in the desert for weeks on end. Shipwrecked and without anything. I would gaze at the mountain, for it made a good focal point. After a while I could HEAR the mountain. It hummed quietly. Hearing the mountain, I joined in its humming. I breathed: deeply, slowly... I sank deeper and deeper into a sea of peace. But eventually I had to admit I was not going to find the enlightenment I sought. So there came a point at which I simply gave up. This took a long time - I do not give up easily. I straightened my legs in front of me, put my hands behind my head and lay back on the ground. But I never stopped at the ground... I fell backwards - end over end- into the void... Suddenly my mind was everywhere. I was inside the mountain. I WAS the mountain. I looked out from the eyes of every living thing. I existed in every time. And I started to laugh! I laughed because now I could see that it was all so SIMPLE. I knew the answer to every question, even as I realized that I HAD no questions. I KNEW. The realization that I was God, and God was me, and there was no distance or difference between the two. That the two, were in fact one. I free-fell into the void for an eternity, knowing everything. When I became aware of lying on the ground again, I realized that I was surrounded by twelve nighthawks, looking inwards at me, arranged like the hours on a clock face. The sun sank behind the mountain and the air was warm and fragrant. I smiled and rose from the ground. And off I slowly went, back towards the world of men. It was in the moment of relinquishing the desire to obtain enlightenment that I came - at last - to find it. As long as there is desire, there can be no fulfillment. I later fell - as is the way of men - from this knowing , by wishing to possess this enlightened state. But it can not be possessed. It can not be owned. It can only be lived in the moment that one lives it. And that is the nature of enlightenment. I do not have it now. But I have come to accept that as natural. I am glad to know what it was and what it was like. And that I could - quite possibly - know it again. |

This is a poor telling of The Moment. Because the order in which things occurred is lost. This becomes easier to grasp when one considers that the one telling of it was not there. Me, I, myself, and who I know as myself, had been laid down and left behind. So a loose interpretation is all that is possible, and all that is left. How can one describe one's experience, when one was not there to experience it? This is something I have tangled with, ever since. Really, all that is possible, is to encourage the listener, the reader, that such a thing is possible. Only the listener, the reader, can take it up, and make it real. |

After the spark of enlightenment, everything is clear. After the master has gone all that's left is a faint smoke where the spark once lived. This faint smoke is what leads religions astray as they start to interpret what is vague and unsubstantive to their unenlightened minds. |
