The fact of life

Far too often when people try to understand what it means to be enlightened they bring into their minds all sorts of "Spiritual" notions. These can be very distorting and mislead them into more concepts they will have to give up to really understand. It is far better to not think anything is spiritual. Just watch and see the facts. What one comes to when we awaken can seem very spiritual. However, on deeper understanding we see this is just the fact of life. We are living beings on a wonderful planet. We have been dreaming we were something we never could be and distorting all we perceive. This has caused great suffering to those who are dreaming and those who get in the way of the dreamers.
