The term "enlightenment" is rather newly introduced in the Western culture and tries to translate the supreme state of bliss, the exit from the great wheel of reincarnations of a soul. Enlightenment is defined by many, and there are no two definitions alike.
Spiritual Enlightenment and its definitions
Used in a religious sense, enlightenment translates several Buddhist terms and concepts, most notably bodhi, and the Japanese satori. Related terms from Asian religions are kaivalya and moksha (liberation) in Hinduism, and ushta in Zoroastrianism.
If one asks this question to single spirituals, one gets many tenths of different answers that reflect actually that person’s perspective on life, what he/she thinks through his spiritual lectures and his perceptions from his meditation practice if any. I found that some texts and posts' descriptions of enlightenment are almost poetic, while others are purely intellectual.
Let me give you my point of view. As background, I am a scientist and less a poet and I tend to try to find my ground when discussions in spirituality start to float around into the fluffy clouds of imagination and poetry. Poetry is great and I have a good number of poets I love, they unleash your pure imagination and help you color your perception of Creation. On the other hand, when talking about goals, references, paths to follow, and so on, I prefer some solid ground under my feet since I don’t like to lose my compass in no man’s land.
What I am telling you is not from books but from my own spiritual research by using my higher vision and ability to connect to other souls, body energies, and other higher entities.
First, let me give you a technical definition of enlightenment, so outside of my opinion or for that matter any other person’s opinion: enlightenment is reached by the person whose soul vibration (awareness level) has reached the 7th chakra vibration. Be aware that the body's vibration is different from the soul’s vibration, where the terms vibration and level of awareness are interchangeable.
In other words, if somebody reaches, whether by coming with such a soul vibration from past lives or reaching it by his spiritual endeavors in this life, the same soul vibration (awareness) as Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Yogananda, etc. then he is enlightened. Sure that all these souls had body vibrations much lower than the 7th chakra level. As souls, they took a human body so they could interact with other “normal” people around, who on average had both a soul vibration and a body vibration in the 3.5 vibrations, using the chakras scale. After all, we as mankind are as vibration a 3D world (D-dimension of vibration, or chakra scale). Remember the kundalini snake is coiled three and half times in the root chakra, as Hinduism and yoga mention?
How one reaches enlightenment, I mean the main paths, you can find shortly described in another post of mine here.
The feminine aspect and the masculine aspect
Now, we all have inside both the masculine aspect and the feminine aspect. An aspect has nothing to do with whether we are a man or a woman, an aspect is a lens through which we look and approach life. The positive masculine aspect is more of a builder, follows up a plan, has a compass in life, takes decisions easily, it’s a doer, a protector, etc but has no access to higher energy. In other words, he can design the plan of a house but doesn’t have access to the bricks to build the house.
We also have the positive feminine aspect, who’s caring, nurtures others both children and adults, doesn’t judge, helps everybody, has great access to intuition, and visions, has full access to higher energy, etc, but can’t follow a plan, has big difficulties in taking decisions, thinks from her heart where no duality is to be found. The feminine aspect provides the energy, the bricks to the masculine aspect so he builds the house.
Putting the two together i.e. house blueprint and bricks, in time you get a house, a person, a planet, a galaxy, or a universe!
The same is in any human concerning aspects, ideally it should be a balance of 50/50% but I found this is very seldom, many are off like 70% masculine and 30% feminine, or the other way around. Actually, for the last thousands of years human civilization was masculine aspect biased, and even more so towards the negative masculine one focused on domination and oppression, lust for power, and so on.
Enlightenment and personal bias
Concerning soul enlightenment, each answer will exhibit the commentator bias ultimately, whether masculine or feminine.
The ones more feminine aspect biased will talk about feelings, like that all are already enlightened, that there is nothing to do just watch, everything is bliss, just ignore the bad guys, etc. If you appeal to some logic and ask them why are we in this 3D low-vibration world if we are already enlightened, you won't get any sensible answer, at least not a reasonable one. Obviously, the feminine aspect just ignores reality if it doesn’t fit their mental concept or sensitivities of what enlightenment is. Even if you appeal to the sacred books describing the hardships through which Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, and other truly enlightened souls went through, and that not everything is bliss and fluffy energies and people around, you won’t be able to have a reasonable discussion.
On the other hand, the ones with a stronger masculine aspect will insist on things like practicing procedures whether meditation or others as a sure path to enlightenment. Their approach is a path of hardship, sacrifices, and applying ancient receipts as the ultimate tool for success. Generally, they are focused on their own evolution and don’t invest much in developing a relationship with the rest of people, nature, etc. I noticed that they have an issue with access to their higher soul and other higher entities.
My definition of enlightenment
Besides reaching as soul the 7th chakra level of awareness, a truly enlightened soul has to meet, in balance, two main conditions and abilities:
- The masculine aspect - a really high understanding of this Creation: how it works, which are the basic laws of creation, which are the energy mechanisms in Creation, that we are a soul that hops from life to life to learn and increase his awareness, the relationship between soul and body, about kundalini, the soul evolution path, and so on.
- The feminine aspect - excellent access to higher energy, living as an enlightened 7th chakra soul. He must exhibit a true high intuition, be able to connect to higher souls including disembodied ones, send small souls (wandering souls) to Light, has cleaned his subconscious of most limiting beliefs, do shaktipat himself, be able to help energetically other people, animals, nature, read other people souls awareness, etc.
If you read the ancient sacred books in the key of the masculine and feminine aspects, you will find that the enlightened souls manifested all the spiritual abilities that I mentioned above in modern terms. The feminine aspect abilities were called siddhis in ancient Sanskrit. There are also other kinds of siddhis, but that doesn’t mean that if a person displays them he is necessarily enlightened without having also the masculine aspect abilities.
If one thinks of ancient enlightened souls and recalls what sacred texts related about them, one will find they all showed both sides of the two aspects, manifested an excellent command of higher energies, and also a deep understanding of the universe's laws, its layers, and mechanisms.
Currently, when looking into the souls now on Earth and also into the energies of mankind, I count between 5.000 to 6.000 fully enlightened souls as per the definition above. An interesting fact is that years ago I counted like 7.000 enlightened souls, so we had a decrease of this kind of souls on the planet.
On the other hand, I counted in the same span of time a sizable increase of higher souls in the vibration range of 4D to 6D, so above the average 3D but less than the enlightenment level. This mass of higher souls will eventually lead humanity from this 3D energy that we stay in for many thousands of years into the 4D awareness level!
Before this happens, the old energies have to be released, and this is what happens now on the planet with the covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and conflicts of all sorts in general. It's the time of awakening at the human level, when everyone takes decisions, whether aware or not aware.
By turning our attention inside us we have the chance to head towards a more enlightened existence, each of us.
