Enlightenment...

At this moment, my heart is full to bursting with LOVE for life and all of creation and all the lovely people in my life - both in 3D and in the virtual world...

And I'm amazed and happy that this feeling is so huge and not at all connected to my material circumstances, which have not changed one way or the other!

I think this is one of the ways enlightenment manifests in each of us...

I have had one other experience of enlightenment, where I expanded all of my physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual boundaries until I was all that ever was, is now and will be AND at the same time all of that was contained within my physical self...

Will this all encompassing sense of LOVE be a one-off moment, or will I be able to sustain it, no matter what happens in my physical world?

Post Script: 

three days later...

and not-so-happy world events unfolding...

and no outward change in my own circumstances...

and I'm still feeling it!

So cool...
