Enlightenment is simply not perceiving through ego. It’s not seeing life or anything: self, others, your tennis shoes, your dog, your cat, your livelihood… anything. It’s just not seeing the world, everything through the distortion called the egoic state of consciousness. That is why it’s been likened to the natural state; natural, meaning it’s not an alternative lens distorting lens, it’s just perception without a lens, without a distortion. Ultimately that’s what enlightenment is. It is perception without distortion whether it’s perceiving the nature of what you think is yourself, which there isn’t one, whether it is perceiving a thought, whether it is perceiving a feeling, whether it is perceiving a situation, whether it’s perceiving your relationship. It is simply perceiving not through the lens of ego. That’s what enlightenment is.
