Enlightenment is an end to suffering and a feeling of connection to\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ea person’s own true self and to the world. Enlightenment is being aware of a person’s\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eown deepest self or Being. People have difficulty experiencing Being because of their\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eidentification with their own minds. Their own thoughts keep them from\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003efinding the stillness needed to experience Being.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen people identify with their thoughts, it blocks their relationships with others, nature,\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eand God. Those who can observe themselves thinking realize that they are not their mind\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eand that all things of importance, such as beauty, joy, love, and inner peace, come from\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ebeyond the mind. This state of consciousness is achieved when people feel their own\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003epresence beyond their thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnother way to experience enlightenment is to focus all attention on the now, the present\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003emoment. The ego, or false self, barely notices the present moment. To the ego,\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eonly the past andthe future are important.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEmotions are thoughts that are felt in the body.
