The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence.
If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience.
This isn't a journey about becoming something. This is about unbecoming who we are not, about undeceiving ourselves.
In the end, it's ironic.
We don't end up anywhere other than where we have always been and we realize that the heaven everyone is seeking is where we have always been.
