Enlightenment arrives right on schedule. And what exactly is enlightenment but understanding that you are enlightenment itself?
After many years of intense study and intense suffering, the light that I am now speaks to me more and more clearly. This is what it says:

You are the container of the universe.
Now that you see this, be this.

You are the lover of all humanity
even though you know this not.

Never again worry about the impression you make on people.
Impressions are not what life is about.

Instead, become enlightenment itself with nothing to do or be except yourself.

Do not explain anything to anyone.

Do not defend your position.

If you would continue to be enlightened, continue to be yourself.

Let everyone bow before you as you bow before them.

That way you can grace the world. But be careful if you think you are bowing to their behaviors.
Their behaviors can be deadly. Bow to the god in them.

Peace is possible, but only if you grant it to yourself. And oddly, a few will benefit from it.
