What was made to substitute for Reality, is false. Enlightenment is awakening from the dream of fear. It requires laying aside all concepts of what you are and what God is. It requires emptying the mind of the temporal, and thus remembering the eternal nature of Self and God. Reality is Oneness.
Duality is illusion.
You are blessed as a Child of God. Love is what you are. Enlightenment is a State of Being. There is a state of nonjudgment or forgiveness which opens the way to the acceptance of Truth or Reality. You are not at the mercy of the world of concepts and images.
