Expert of Experts Things HE Didnt Tell Neale About Enlightenment
By: Drew Kittinger
DK: You know, when I called on that still, small voice inside for inspiration it was to get rich, not enlightened.
Enlightenment is terribly overrated. Don?t get yourself into a dither about it.
DK: How so?
The people that reach enlightenment, as you call it, pretty much struggle their whole lives through. They eliminate this for a while, adopt that for a few years, surrender to this as long as they can and praise that for all it?s worth and, white-knuckling it all the way, they all end up at the same place, acceptance of what is in the moment. And since the moment is forever, and that?s all there is, they realize there?s really nothing to do, nothing that needs to be done to seek enlightenment, it is there, in all things at all times.
DK: So many of them come down from their mountaintops and start teaching us how to do it. They clean up. Now that?s what I call practical spirituality!
If you take a really good look at it, though, the really enlightened ones come off their mountaintops and just go about the business of being in the moment.
DK: If that?s so true then why do I have to put up with every enlightened being and her Mother telling me how to get there?
Look a little closer and you?ll see that it?s not the enlightened that are doing all the talking.
DK: What do you mean?
I?m not trying to take anything away from my Son, but where would he be without Paul?
DK: Paul? The tax collector guy. I know about him. I wrote about him.
Yes. Even you are wiser than you think. Why do I think I picked you?
DK: I?ll have to think about it. Okay, so years after Christ got crucified, Christianity was pretty much circling the drain. Then Paul got struck off his horse, had his vision and then pretty much single-handedly revived the religion that had sprung from Jesus? time on earth.
Yes. Not only revived, but molded it into the basic format of Christianity as we know it today.
DK: He did an incredible job! Even though some people say he made a mess, still, what a wonderfully enlightened thing to do!
But, remember. Jesus didn?t talk much about himself or the way things should be. He didn?t have to. None of the enlightened ones do. Not Buddha, not Mohammed, not Confucius, none of them. They don?t need to. They?re all about the business of being present in the moment, and all they talk about is the moment. Where it goes from there is not of any of their concern. The ones who follow, the ones still struggling to be enlightened, they?re the ones who urge the rest of us to get enlightened. It?s a free will thing. I just supply the energy so they can talk about what they have to talk about.
DK: And they say it?s you doing the talking, when all they?re doing is putting their words into your mouth?
That?s what you?re doing, isn?t it?
DK: Give me a break willya? I?m still trying to wrap my head around the mechanical thing of these fingers flying up and down this keyboard on their own. I feel like I'm the Ouija Board.
Remember: God gives you more than you can handle. It?s up to you to give it back.
DK: That sounds like something I?d say to calm down my target until I can make my score.
Exactly!
DK: I have a headache! All right. So what we?re dealing with is the enlightened people just go about being, while the unenlightened try to get other unenlightened beings to be enlightened. There is no motion in an enlightened being because he doesn?t have to do anything but be, but there is motion in the unenlightened because they think they have to get enlightened.
?and I provide the motion.
DK: But, if you?re so enlightened, why do you have to even bother?
All I care about is that there is motion. Where things are at right now, that?s all this is: motion. At some point even that won?t be needed. But in the meantime, that movement is served by certain individuals -- being moved by what they perceive as me ? who then carry the word about what they see as another necessary step toward enlightenment.
DK: And somehow, either by them picking you or you picking them, the most powerful of these guys, like Paul, get out there and promote, promote, promote, in service to motion, nothing more.
Basically, you?re on target. And now you?re laughing!
DK: Well, yeah, because all you?re telling me is God has no real need to speak to the enlightened, but tends to make personal appearances to Promoters.

Up until a little while ago, Drew thought he was just a hack. But then he tuned into http://mauihealingartist.com and learned that his only job is to be the fullest Drew that he can possibly be. There, he learned, there are things that can come through him that cannot be matched by anyone. This is true with you, too. Enjoy the Journey! |
