The reasoning behind my thoughts are related to an apparent quote from the Buddha.
The Buddha was asked, "What does it mean to be enlightened?"
His response was, "It means I know what you also are."
This small exchange leads to a very possible conclusion that the state that the/a Buddha experiences is actually inherent to all lifeforms as part of their original being. Enlightenment is the realization of that already existent natural state. To be enlightened is to dwell in the natural state, imo.
However, I consider enlightenment to be the distortion that is the idea that represents the dwelling as the natural self. Natural here referring to that which is inherent, with unnatural referring to that which is created through the interactions of inherently endowed beings. Unnaturalness no less exists in the Natural state, but it is also an Other, a thing in itself, which is Maya, the Illusion, seen in masculine mystery traditions as an alluring woman. Realization of the natural state is to bring to bear complete awareness of unnaturalness and that as well as awareness, consciously, of the natural state.
Once enlightenment is achieved within the self that light is then turned either towards inwards or outwards, according to the polarity. Properly, naturally, it breathes and move back and forth between inwards and outwards at a rate according to the "temperature" of the violet ray, to relate it to Ra's thermometer reference. Unnaturally, it may take on new patterns, which are in fact all of the "Co-Creative" existences through which the Creator experiences itself as the Other. The One learns the Two by mirroring itself.
Thus, to learn to experience itself as One while being Two there must exist both these natural and unnatural concepts, the concepts themselves being the void concrete which gives rises to the precedenting aspects of self and other which make mutual co-existing reality a possibility as a function of the Mind of the Creator reflecting itself as a Deep Mind, to use a term from Ra that I am also fond of as a reference to that unlimited pool of consciousness, both conscious and unconscious, from which we all drink with all other things in existence. Beautiful, in my eyes.
Just some of my thoughts to explain myself aha Much love to you all.
