Enlightenment Doesn't Have To Be Vague & Mysterious

So, you have decided that you want to be enlightened. Great!
That brings up two very important questions: 1) What is enlightenment? and 2) How do I become enlightened?

Q: What is enlightenment? A: A deep, transcendent knowing of your true nature.

Most spiritual teachings keep this vague and mysterious: "Be present" "You are awareness itself" "Everything is one" "Realize your Buddha nature" "You are already enlightened."

These spiritual platitudes are worse than useless, they keep you stuck.

Your true nature has four aspects arising from one source:

Iself - Individual awareness (the constant witnessing "I")
Allself - Universal consciousness (everyone, everything, everywhere, everywhen)
Godself - Divine presence (creative force dwelling within you)
Noself - Transcendent emptiness (the void beneath all identity)

All arising from Amness - pure sourceless beingness.

Q: How do I become enlightened? A: By realizing each of these five aspects through direct knowing.

The Self Realization Mantra is very specific:

I Am Thee Iself.
I Am Thee Allself.
I Am Thee Godself.
I Am Thee Noself.
I Am Thee Amness.

Chant this mantra regularly with sincere intention. The words themselves are activation technology - they call the five awakenings into being.

You might say to yourself, "What? That's it? Twenty words? That's too simple. Certainly, it's more complex than that!" The Self Realization Mantra IS simple, but becoming Self Realized is going to take some concerted effort on your part. You can't just read the mantra once and say to yourself, "Cool, that makes sense," and expect to be Self Realized. You have to put in serious work with the mantra. It might take months or years.
