Enlightened Consciousness

"When that awakening [to enlightened consciousness] happens, there is no longer any desire to become someone other than who we are. … This opening, this receptivity, is basically related to our ability to resist arming the ego with concepts and ideas. A true spiritual path transcends all concepts and belief systems. It is not about reinforcing the mind’s illusion of self as an identity. It is not about being a Buddhist, a saint, or a better person. It is really about deconstructing all of our illusions without any mercy."
