How Close Are You To Enlightenment? Simple Test

Enlightenment. The moment we consciously connect to eternal truth. Its when we see through the veil of thisillusionary world, rising above ego, time, materialism, and our own emotions to see the bigger picture that we are all



one.

Its what all gurus, spiritualists, yogis, Buddhists, monks, meditators, shamans, artists, writers, and religious leadersstrive for.

Its the state Neo reached at the end ofThe Matrix, the levelDorothyattained so she could surpass time and space andreturn home, and the brief moment you get a taste of, usually in the shower, when your brain skips a beat on the recordof reality, resulting in a little inspiration in line with your true self.

But is there any way to speed up the process or at least know how close you are to the fully enlightened experience? Ibelieve there is. And its something so unbelievably simple, youll be able to master it shortly after reading this blogpost.

There are a lot of facts about our reality that have continually been shown through scientific methods, yet haventquite been digested by our mainstream knowledge. As indicated byEinsteinand many others,time is illusory.

He evensaidthat for those who believe in physics:

the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Then theresquantum entanglement, which tells us that space is also apparently an illusion.

Well, if time and space are both illusions, what is the actual truth? Logically, it would be that there is but one momentand everything is actually a part of the same thing. Then again, there is no room for logic inquantum physics thesubatomic world where the laws of our reality break down and do what scientists like to call, some crazy-ass shit.

Suffice to say, the world doesnt work like our senses and mind tell us it does. Theres something bigger going on.Perhaps we are in acomputer simulation, or ahologram, or an illusion created by an almighty God that wants torediscovereverythingthat it already knows.Related:Questioning Reality Like Never Before

The details dont really matter. What we do need to agree on (for the purpose of the Enlightenment Test presented inthis article) is that something else exists beyond what we consciously experience, and that this dimension has an effecton how our lives play out.

Call it heaven, the world above, the real world, another dimension, orThe Twilight Zone, the point is that within thatreality, there is only one moment and we are all one consciousness.

Our mythology, dreams, meditations, and instincts have given most of us a glimpse of that reality. Then there are someof us who have increased their experiences within this realm beyond just a glimpse as theyve grown themselves in life.

Far fewer still have been able to touch on this barrier-breaking experience at their choosing. We call these evolvedbeings, enlightened.

With the exception ofBodhisattvas, the Dalai Lama, and various prophets and Messiahs, most enlightened beingsarent born that way, but attain such a stature through a cyclical process of repeated suffering, reduction of ego, andcontentment in what is.

Each new stage has its own challenges to be overcome, but when they are, the reward is more of a connection to thelight realm and less to the material one.

Because of this, the person experiences more light world reality (an increased ability to surpass the restrictions of timeand space) and less of the material world reality (less material attachments, reactionary behavior, drama,separation ofself (ego)from others, etc).

As a whole population, we have all been becoming more enlightened. This is apparent because weve increased ourability to surpass time restrictions (the speed of transportation, information, and communication is increasinggeometrically faster) and space restrictions (technology has gotten smaller and smaller, as has weapons, to the point ofsplitting the atom to yield tremendous power).

Eventually, we will all come to a point where we can jump to any space or time instantly, but as of now, some aregetting there quicker than others. How can you know if its you? By using one of the most basic rules of our reality: thelaw of cause and effect.

The law of cause and effect says that if you throw a rubber ball against a hard surface, it will bounce back with the same



trajectory and velocity (within a vacuum). If you dropped a rubber ball off of The Empire State Building, it would takeawhile to hit the ground and then reach its highest point.

It wouldnt make it all the way back to you due to the interference of air friction and gravity. But if you were to take arubber ball and throw it against the floor youre standing on, it would return to you fairly quickly and likely make it allthe way back if not beyond since theres less interference from competing forces.

This is just how radar and sonar work. One can determine the velocity and position of an object (or ones self in relationto an object) using high-frequency radio or sound waves reflecting off its surface.

Just as the law of cause and effect can be used to determine the position of physical objects within the physical world,it can be used to determine the position of spiritual entities in relation to the spiritual, enlightened world.

As they say in Kabbalah, as above, so below whatever happens up there is duplicated in a similar fashion here. Kindof like a computer code (above) and how it plays out in a video game (below).

The most noticeable indicators of the enlightened realm are that time is illusionary and that we are all connected. Sothe closer we are to making those indicators true for ourselves, the closer we are to being enlightened.

Using thelaw of cause and effect (aka, karmawhen used spiritually), its fairly easy to see where youre at using somevery simple tests.

Since every seemingly separate thing is really all one thing, its not possible for you to do something to somethingseparate without getting the effect. Just as you cannot punch yourself in the stomach without feeling the force, youcannot do onto others without having a similar energy be done onto you.

So whether you publicly embarrass someone, react negatively physically or verbally, cut someone off while driving,accidentally step on someones foot, do something nice for someone, show them love, or go out of your way to helpthem, that energy, in a similar form, is coming your way.

From this perspective, the point of being good isnt to please God, get into heaven, or follow some golden rule, but toenable more positive energies to head your way.

Yes, this could be seen as being selfish, but even knowing these rules, its still not as easy as youd think. Because the



more spiritually evolved you become, the more you have to go outside yourself and be inconvenienced to experiencegrowth.

Its not just about being good, but going out of your way to help someone, not talking negatively, not reacting, andputting others first. Its about breaking your habits, facing your fears, and overcoming your challenges.

To test your proximity to enlightenment, you can use either positive or negative actions on your part. But the key is theintensity. So if you do something really nasty, to the point where you feel it in your gut, make a note of it. Note the time,date, and rate the intensity from 1-10.

Do the same thing if you do something very positive something you feel lighter for having done. The clearest positivedeeds are those that inconvenience you to help someone else, preferably, a stranger or even someone you dont like.After either scenario, you then need to be mindful.

These actions will bounce back at you. Not in your next life. Not to be judged in heaven. But in the here and now. Theywont come in the exact same form, but they will evoke a similar response in you that they did for another.

If youre fairly close to enlightenment, detecting the action will be easy. The veil separating you from the dimensionwhere time and space are one will be thin. Therefore the effect should manifest shortly after, and be similar to, thecause.

If it was something positive, it will come back as something you associate positively, whether thats love, respect,kindness, or even money. Its more likely to be something physical if the cause was physical.

So if you helped with a charity, and gave more than you usually do at the request of say, someone you dont particularlylike, you might find yourself being given a significant coupon from a stranger, getting a helpful financial tip from afriend you havent spoken to in awhile (maybe a Facebook friend), or getting an unexpected check in the mail.

If it was something negative, and youre relatively close to enlightenment, the effect will almost always come in theform of a lesson, like a parent sternly but lovingly disciplining his child for doing something wrong. Lose your temper,react in anger, act selfishly?

Keep your eyes open. Its coming back at you. Sometimes itll have a bit of humor to itthe kind of humor thats ironicand can be laughed at in hindsight. It may be paired with some clues as well.

In fact, watch for signs coming with any of these effects. Just as the velocity and trajectory of a bounced ball can give ahint to the distance, position, and texture of the surface it hit, so too can clues be gathered from the effects of youractions in life.

Once, when I was rushing past people in the subway station trying to find my way to another train, a young womanstopped me to say that I looked lost. When I told her the issue, she pointed to the information that was posted right infront of me on the wall.

Sometimes, you just have to look for the signs, she said with a knowing smile. Indeed.



On the other hand, if youre not anywhere near enlightenment, the test results will be much harder to recognize.Because youre deeper within the illusion of time and space, the effect will take much longer than it would for the moreenlightened folks.

Your radar/ sonar/ rubber ball bounce will take much longer to reach its source and return to you. Depending whereyoure at, it could take days, weeks, months, or even years to bounce back.

If years, itll probably be close to impossible to figure out. But not to worry, youre not nearly that far away. If you were,this blog wouldnt have found you and you certainly wouldnt be taking the time to read it.

Once you have a good sampling of the amount of time it took various positive and negative causes to have a returnedeffect in your life, average those times together. Thats your benchmark. Once you have that number, wait about amonth and retest. Then retest again a month later.

Is the time compressing? Is the cause and effect becoming more similar to one another? Is the proximity of the eventshappening closer? Congratulations, you are approaching enlightenment!

Just by the fact that you are consciously noticing your actions, looking for signs, and performing these tests, the gapshould be narrowing. But sometimes, they may not be.

If you find that the causes and effects are happening at increasingly wider gaps of time, space, and similarity, yourebeing sucked back into the material world. This is actually a natural process of enlightenment.

Just as a muscle must be pumped to grow, so too must you continually be stretched in both directions. You may havehad a long enlightened streak but just did the test during one of the steps backwards.

Seeing a power-lifter returning a weight to the ground doesnt mean he didnt put it up. It just means you caught it onthe return. Continue tracking your most intense positive and negative actions and see where they go. Youll be back ontrack in no time.

As you begin getting closer to enlightenment,something else becomes more and more apparent aswell: the manifestation of your thoughts.

Thats because much like the gravity and atmosphericresistance slowing down a rubber ball dropped from askyscraper, as you get closer to your target, youexperience less interference. And your target is therealm of light, which begat all of creation. And sincewe are all one, you are part of the entity that created

it!

You are that creative being youve been praying to! You can literally be the change you want to see in your life and inthe world! Once you realize this and start praying to yourself, you begin to master manifesting your thoughts.

This is why positive thinking, self-fulfilling prophecies, and the law of attraction, popularized in books like The Secret,all work. This is even why praying works. What you focus on expands, and what you resist, persists. Because either wayyou are thinking intensely about it.

The reason we are taught to pray, say grace before meals, be grateful, not speak gossip, be persistent, and smile ourway through challenges is not so that God will reward you, but so that the energy that youre putting out there willreflect back to you.

And in order for it to do so, something that would invoke a similar reaction to the one you were thinking about, must bemanifested.

So by being grateful for a meal, you are attracting that energy to come back to you so that you have reason to begrateful again (manifesting another delicious meal to come into your life).

The more intense the emotional attachment to a thought, the more likely it is to occur in your life. So as they say, becareful what you wish for, and what you think about.

Our life is a result of the collective thoughts weve had about it, just as our world is a result of the collective thoughts



all of us have had about it.

So if you want a life full of love, light, laughter, health, wealth, happiness, and peace, act as though youre already there and intensify any emotions that youd have if your life was like that. Do so without any attachment or need (ego) andyour life will manifest whatever it takes so that you continue to have those same thoughts.

This is the magic behind every winning or losing streak, every addiction, every habit, lucky and unlucky people, goingwith the flow, and why you become more of what you already are.

As you get closer and closer to enlightenment, it becomes increasingly more interesting to see how our thoughts andactions manifest back at us. Buy a healthful meal for a homeless person and manifest the boss taking you out for lunch.

Help someone with a heavy suitcase up the stairs and manifest someone steady you as youre about to trip and fall onyour face. Give money to charity and manifest getting money for your personal cause perhaps in line with yourdestiny.

Worried about an upcoming interview? Get a zit on your face the day it arrives. Continually holding your tongue andnot speaking out against someone you disagree with? Come down with a case of laryngitis.

The greatest thing about the world we live in is that we create it all through our thoughts and actions. The mosthorrible thing about the world we live in is that we create it all through our thoughts and actions. The effects are up toyou.

All you need are some positive causes. Find the most terrifying one that youre most passionate about and make it yourgoal. Itll give you the most intense emotional energy to be duplicated and will very likely be your destiny.

May your inner spark grow to light your way!
