On personal enlightenment
## Time to recap
Bear in mind that I will continue writing from the perspective of experiencing what it is in this moment — as the universe experiencing itself through the person who knows themselves as an "I." The "I." Could there be any reason why the rendering of the lowercase 'i' into the uppercase "I" is inconsistent with the uniqueness of other characters in terms of being distinct? Allow me to be personal here:
Throughout my life, I have had serious difficulties ever since I started using a computer for word processing. Although the excitement about it was present beforehand, typesetting in the era of traditional newspaper printing used distinguished versions of the 'I', to prevent confusion with a lowercase 'l', as in "line." When writing, this is not as much of a problem as it is when creating a secure password and making a printed copy.
When creating the password, 'l' and 'i' are used interchangeably. After a long and frustrating battle with 'l' and "I", I decided to never again use a capital "I". Or the small "L." Little L. Just — and while we're at it — "J" also warrants it, because "j" can also be confused with an "i"; so the "i" is simply a "j" with a leg cut off. Especially in small notes on small pieces of paper folded even smaller, you never know what you might encounter. Without the "I," the world would be a better place. And after a great deal of time, energy, and dedication, a thought expanded and lit up behind the calcium layer of my skull.
The striking element is how quickly any confusion resolves itself. It is now impossible to confuse the capital 'I' with an 'l'. Nobel Prizes have been awarded for far less innovative work. Some, I might add, were not deserved given the high standards of hypocrisy. You may read about them and form an opinion that will neither disturb nor profane my honour. "For services to all of humanity." Take a look at the commemorative edition of imperial delusions converted into marvellous fantasies: introducing a person with an eloquent phrase, to move the world.
As for my excuse for the inability to reproduce the improved 'I' on screen, I must explain. The open-source font editor is not as easy to install as one would wish. For the average user, it is quite challenging, as it requires the use of the Command Console, where programming must be done. Different operating systems — different programming languages. 'Unix' is one of them, and it is open-source. It has come a long way and is the product of collective consciousness, as opposed to the billionaire proprietor who hires a team of programmers. People around the world are interested in open-source software, and the greatest obstacle is that it demands a deeper level of computer knowledge and experience — at least for those who have been using any of the alternative systems available on the market for an extended period. It is not easy. That about sums it up.
It is not bad that an explanation can be excused. Without prior notice, anyone who edits fonts is welcome to create the improved 'I' version for at least 'Cochin' — that is the typeface I used in the earlier graphics. At this point, I have not fully researched whether this character actually exists. The limited search I conducted revealed that the closest thing to it is this: — ï —. It looks like a stork: two eyes and a very long beak. You can clearly see why this version does not even come close, as it represents an 'i' with a mutation. Now, this is drifting into unknown territory. Be that as it may, the previous version of the new 'I' makes a great deal of sense, at least on this side of the screen.
Now, returning to 'Enlightenment' — it is a wordplay combining 'Illumination' with 'Illuminated,' and it seems a worthy creation, as any form of enlightenment will occur like a bolt of lightning. It is for this reason that the notion of being struck by lightning must expand to include enlightenment, since enlightenment is as sudden as its electrical outdoor equivalent. Of course, I have no verifiable data regarding how many Homo Sapiens deaths are related to having been struck by enlightenment. However, it is easy to imagine that there must be a number of people who died from being struck by it, while everyone else remained in the dark. It is from this period that the notion was coined: "it is impossible to fly like an eagle if you are surrounded by turkeys." This is not to discredit the turkeys. Although they may not be among the brightest, as their calls seem to suggest.
On the other hand, the prospects of widespread recognition and abundant wealth are also nearly nil today when someone is struck by enlightenment. She or he cannot speak of it publicly. In that sense, nothing has really changed in the last two thousand years — with one exception. A couple of thousand years ago, an enlightened person could gain both wealth and recognition by announcing words of relative wisdom. Today, that would only cause what is called a 'Twitter shitst*rm.' Because, you know, the only thing that really matters today is Twitter. Strip away any enlightenment, and you will find that Twitter exists exclusively to prevent it from striking you. It only protects those who waste their precious life-time seeking popularity. It is little surprise, then, that enlightenment is so scarce. Having degraded the most visited 'news' outlets into Twitter compilations — like the nth collection of 'roots of reggae' — the song remains the same; only those who sing it change.
Therefore, in any case, a sudden flash of enlightenment will require, but also promote and make possible, a more relaxed approach to new wisdom. It will need to be kept low-key, and these expanded comprehensive abilities — which seem only to irritate those who form the masses — will need to be taken calmly. It is not a good idea to go around saying: "Hey everyone! Listen, I've had a revelation about the ongoing regime change in Venezuela!" Bad move. Syria, Africa, Russia, China, Cuba, socialism — just relax and rein in your intelligence horses for now. It is hard to imagine that anyone would care, or dare to tell the truth to the masses, without them repaying it with contempt and hatred. "How dare you tell us the truth! We were suffering, and suffering quite well, until you disturbed our regular business!"
Perhaps it is time to reveal the recipe for enlightenment?
So, let us speak a little more about Enlightenment and explore what it really is, as it is perceived and experienced by yours truly. What I found particularly interesting (pun intended) is the fact that the two components of the fusion are themselves an occurrence of the Universe in each respective field of manifestation. The first, as mentioned briefly above, is an electrical discharge from the ground into the atmosphere. Lightning takes place through a pilot stroke that extends from the ground — as in electrical 'earth' — opening a channel of lesser resistance and thus allowing the electrical charge suspended in the atmosphere to travel through the layers to the ground. That is what I have observed in all the images and videos I captured over the last forty years. It is not really visible to the human eye, due to its speed. The actual lightning strike is 'slower' and can be seen with the naked eye (or with covered eyes, as long as the glasses are not closed before the eyes).
Of course, the idea is not to become scientific about it. Mere observation of the event will suffice. Today, lightning strikes occur more frequently than before (a look at insurance claims will confirm this), and the reasons for that lie in both anthropogenic and natural causes. The focus here is solely on the manifestation itself. Lightning occurs as a result of electrical charge and the subsequent discharge. One could also say that energy moves from one point, or field, to another — a kind of equilibrium-creating situation represented in countless ways. One of these ways is, in fact, the shift of 'mental energy,' or 'brain electricity,' based on a supposed external influence, or discharge of a kind of 'intelligence.' Needless to say, this comparison and its explanation are part of the act performed by Being the Universe. As always, nothing should be taken for granted, especially when it does not relate to matters of the mind.
Because the exchange of energy — or rather the movement of energy — is what makes this Universe revolve. People are simply 'THAT.' They are inherently part of the whole. Every brain cell is a brain cell of the Universe. That may sound difficult for those who believe themselves exceptional and choose to identify as not part of the Universe, but rather as having been hired to be its administrators — the marshal, the manager, the executive. This is, of course, a lie. No such 'exceptionalism' exists. If anything, it reveals an extremely underdeveloped mind, lost in the programming and conditioning of an alternative narrative about how everything really works. For simplicity's sake, allow me to use again the metaphor of the fish in the ocean. Everything that happens in the water of the ocean, or with it, happens to the fish and within them.
One of the most short-sighted visions of the environment that 'surrounds' us sees human beings and everything else as things within a space that claims a nothingness between the contents of that space. An ancient Middle Eastern proverb says:
> "He who realises the difference between the container and the content has achieved true wisdom."
This profound truth comes from a time when the Middle East had not been degraded to serve as a resource pool and testing ground for the latest military technology. It was 'the golden age of wisdom.' Or at least, wisdom was predominant — a fact that is very much worth incorporating into any worldview. When that happens, a different vibrational frequency is generated or grows. The understanding that great wisdom has always existed, right up to today. Nowadays, philosophy — and especially quantum philosophy — is considered an elegant communist scheme to force white women into sexual slavery. And their children. Everything related to consciousness is flatly rejected. Everything was explained in a few scriptures, and that should be enough to carry on being mad, to keep doing the same harmful things over and over again — and do they really expect different or better results? That is where all academic philosophy fails miserably. It does not attempt to address the consciousness of the masses to anywhere near the extent that Edward Bernays did — and the regimes and corporations to which he sold his secrets of human consciousness.
In reality, it is not possible to understand the current state of affairs without having understood the extent to which the 'Western psyche' has been manipulated, programmed, and conditioned over the last hundred or more years. Absolutely nothing can be examined while leaving out this elementary truth. Everything — from the programming and conditioning of the parents' generation, to the intensely manipulated Baby Boomers, followed by all subsequent generations, down to the current generation that cannot exist without electronic devices. This generation is exposed to an almost constant barrage of programming and conditioning, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, which often suggests that both extremes are equal — rendering individual consciousness incapable of finding truth in anything. The moment has already arrived when truth is marketed as a commodity, never carrying the weight it truly bears.
It is fair to say that Enlightenment is a consequence of an unwillingness to be satisfied too quickly when it comes to how everything really is — one single thing, as far as eyes, ears, nose, and taste can reach and say. It is this predominant mindset that creates a vibrational propensity for sudden movements of energy through 'all that is and is not' alike. Suddenly, what was correctly described as Illumination — and therefore implied it had everything to do with 'Enlightenment,' or most of it. As the person 'going for enlightenment' is required to overcome their Ego, it is a rather ego-centred approach that will ultimately succeed due to the effort extended toward the desire to become or to be enlightened.
However, the difference becomes clearer when 'Illumination' is compared with 'Enlightened.' The latter implies being 'struck by.' The energy involved is not due to the Ego pursuing its journey toward death — it is freely available to those minds that can allow this movement of energy to occur. From the perspective of 'Being the Universe' — from the perspective of 'Being.' Just that. This is the catalytic state of mind that makes it possible to be struck by 'Enlightenment' and the subsequent '-ed.' The arrhythmias are realisations that reveal the world in which one lives from far more perspectives than were previously claimed. It might be useful to point out that a Human Being is composed primarily of water. Water is the medium that absorbs and stores energy to a far greater extent than is still believed. Without going down this rabbit hole: when one considers that water retains any energy or charge from a distinctly vibrational frequency band, a Mind struck by Enlightenment will be like an updated operating system. The effects of Enlightenment are immediately embedded, incorporated, and absorbed into the 'Vibrational Battery Pack' — the body of water called 'Human Being.' You carry your 'enlightened' body of water, and just as 'the Observer influences the Outcome,' this enlightened body of water influences the world 'around THAT.'
It is here that the circle closes, the cycle is eternal. The higher the frequency at which the mind — also known as the 'Body of Water' — vibrates, the higher the frequency of everything it attracts. In both directions. It is fair to say that Illumination creates an atmosphere of stoic relaxation. The Mind knows that everything fits together perfectly, both contrasts and harmonies. That as the life of each and every person represents a tone, or note, a certain body of water — emitting a certain vibrational frequency — is inherently part of the composition called 'The Universe.' Seeing it this way will in turn provide the circumstances in life for one to 'play' one's melody in the Universal Orchestra.
