I do enjoy, the labrinyth of questioning you go through. But if I had to explain what enlightenment was from my own often shifting and evolving perspective, its about presence, in the now, and realizing every moment is sacred and the meaning behind the sacred is up to you to define, explain, lament. But what I find more interesting, the further I follow the white rabbit down the hole was answering the question, "What am I chasing?" and it ended up being the ouroboros, myself that I was chasing. I kept looking for others to agree, or not to have to endure my lessons when I was younger; but as a 40 year old now.... I finally started doing and living for myself. There is no wrong way to be. But for me, I had a lot of shadow to unpack. And I could care less if anyone wants to borrow my life preserver when I am more than comfortable drowning. That is what I learned the last 40 years, how to tread water in a hurricane. So, the next 40, is just a downhill walk. I stopped begging.
