Episode Description
The word “enlightenment” has taken on commercial overtones. It’s a keyword for SEO experts, it’s used in TV sitcoms and commercials and it’s the goal of most of those who are participants in the human potential movement. So, what is it? And is it really something we pursue? Or is it possible that it is pursuing us? Are their degrees of enlightenment? Can we know when we are enlightened? Can we be certain as to how a person attains such a state? Is it a state of being that we can claim, like we would a diploma for a Master’s Degree? When someone tells us that he is enlightened, should we believe him? These are the questions we are going to ask and answer as we discuss the trap of enlightenment today. You are going to want to be there for this.
