Is it true that the Real Divine is present and can be seen everywhere and in all manifestations of life.

Perhaps the wholeness, that is in every cell of our beautiful body, is the wisdom we seek. Can our mind listen to our body?

Who is correct--those who say that enlightenment requires intense practice and training or those who argue that it is spontaneous?

Do you know that my opinion is that enlightenment takes practice

It is when your mind is clear and focused,

I've read that enlightenment allows you to perceive things differently.

Do you think perception is the key?

Why wouldn't perception be the key, but don't you think that enlighenment changes your perception of the world and that enlightenment only comes to those who open their minds to all the possibilities of the world?seen & unseen?

Could one not argue that enlightenment is not only the opening of the mind but also the opening of the heart?

Is it actually possible to open the mind without opening the heart when seeking  to live an enlightened life?

That depends.  Does opening the mind and teh heart equate to opening the spirit?

Does it take one or more to open the spirit?

Isn't the spirit too personal and individualized for such a narrow definition?

But, even if it is, in the end, isn't spirit all that matters?

What would make you think the spirit is the only thing that matters?

Aren't we all spirit?
