Experience is not that important; even the flashiest experience should be accepted, understood, and relinquished. Enlightenment is not an experience. It is not a unique experience that is ongoing. Enlightenment is the penetration of the illusion of subjectivity. Subject-Object relationship and the perceiving of such remains dualistic even after any stage of awakening. The Oneness paradigm incorporates Dualism as an exercise of experience to reveal the totality of wholeness and the joy of living diversity.
We yield an openness, the capacity to understand where that openness is interfacing with day-to-day experience or any occasion, even mystical expansion of consciousness. All backgrounds fit into realization, but realization does not fit into an experience. It is not the realization of knowledge or the experiencer becoming anything more than what it is; it is the ongoing freedom of continual experiencing without a past or future that is the liberating perspective of Oneness within the dimension of illusion.
There is no enlightenment topic. It’s not an academic subject. It’s not an intellectual topic. There is no field of enlightenment. What you get from the journey is you, not something objectified. The transcendental appreciation stands alone as Oneness, and the totality of experiencing is you as seen from that journey of Oneness in the holiness of many.
