~ In the end enlightenment is not really an attainment of something you do not have, but a remembrance of what always has been.

~ Reality is self-authenticating; you can not manipulate your way to awakening.

It just spontaneously happens. You cannot storm the gates of heaven, you can just prepare for when self takes a vacations. You fall awake like going to sleep, you relax into it. It’s a spontaneous event like falling asleep. The harder you try, the harder it is.

~ One key aspect is spontaneous yet it is not haphazard, a catalyst is necessary; that catalyst is genuine authentic interest, interest that leads to of inquiry of what desires, who really is doing the perceiving.
