At the moment of enlightenment, everything is dropped—body, mind, all states, all things—everything. At that moment, there is no separate entity that can become enlightened, because there is no I that can experience it.
~ Enza Vita
Nothing can be the total truth in the worlds of manifestation and the more solid your concepts, the more likely they are going to sink you, sooner or later.
Anything that appears and disappears cannot actually be you because it is being observed by you. By removing the attention from these things and noticing what remains, you are left only with what is permanent — the truth of who you are.
Even amazing states of bliss, peace, clarity and spaciousness have nothing to do with awakening as these are just experiences coming and going in the impersonal awareness that you are.
In enlightenment, the seer and the seen disappear. Or, more accurately, are seen through as illusions. In reality, they were never there, apart from being concept and misunderstanding.
Your inner voice and the spiritual guidance...will lead you to your goal.

When you can no longer tell the difference between being yourself and being love, you are not far from waking up.
Search not for happiness outside yourself, for nothing could be further from the truth.
Although we may wish for more or strive to do better than we have, in these times it is enough to keep your soul.

It calls, 'This way to safety; this way to home.
