It doesn't matter how you get here

No matter what Spiritual Path one travels, those who find enlightenment, self-realization, Awakening, Oneness, or whatever you want to call it, will evidence the same core qualities (most of the time), not just in words, but in action...

Desire to Help & Serve others & humanity
Awareness of the Unity and Sacredness of all beings and Life
A sense of Interbeingness
Selflessness
Humility
Gratitude
Forgiveness
Compassion and Kindness toward others
Respect and Consideration for others 
Caring and Tolerance of others
An Open Heart
An illuminated presence 

If these qualities are not apparent, 
then it is quite apparent, 
that being is not enlightened!

  If the One Reality (God) is already a part of us, why is it so hard to realize that Unity? Consider how difficult it is for the mirror to see itself -- everything is reflected in it, and it, the soul, naturally sees whatever is reflected in its mirror and gets lost in those reflections.

Peace in Life - Not!

Oh meditator don't look for peace in life - you will not find it. Life is not meant to be peaceful... Balance - yes, Contentment - yes, Purpose - yes, Transformation - yes, Growth - yes, Evolution - yes, Awakening -yes, Unity - yes. But not peace. You can only find peace by going deep within, to that origin place of stillness in you, which is beyond life, beyond breath, beyond death. When you find it there, if you want it in life, then you must hold on to it, and carry it with you  amidst the constantly changing, transforming movement of life's breath. Isn't it exhilarating to walk in the ocean's waves, and swim with its currents - as long as you can swim of course!
