Enlightenment is knowing what's what
and what is called for,
and when and where and how to respond to that call
with the gifts, genius, daemon, shtick, creativity,
imagination, virtues, etc.
that came with us from the womb.

Our original nature comes complete
with all we need to do what is needed
but.
We have to live attuned to
and in accord with our original nature--
serving it with liege loyality
and filial devotion,
in all matters great and small
throughout our life.

Our fealty is to our original nature.
There we find the treasure
that is more valuable than gold and silver,
diamonds and jade.

It takes trusting this to be so,
and living as though it is
to know that it is.
If you are going to take anything on faith,
let it be this!

Acting out of fear,
anxiety,
anger,
desire,
grief,
laziness,
habit,
loneliness,
boredom...
will lead to outcomes
quite different from
acting out of 
the right kind of emptiness,
stillness
and silence.

Take up the practice,
and develop the art,
of living with the right kind of
emptiness, stillness and silence.

And your life 
will take a turn for the better
like that
(snaps fingers).
