My biggest issue with Christianity overlaps to Enlightenment

There is no enlightenment. No heaven, no hell.

What really is there is just the present moment which 'you' are experiencing.

Remove all the labels that you've been taught to put on the present moment, even the labels: 'me' and 'present' and 'moment'.

What is left?

You are enlightened by default. Why do you want to believe enlightenment (heaven) to be something needs to be chased and obtained? Why do you want to believe that it's the highest ideal goal?

You believe that there's enlightenment. Stop believing that. Stop taking things for granted. Everyone is lying to you, even myself as I'm saying this to you.

Believing that there's enlightenment is a potential suffering. But on the other hand, suffering and not knowing how to break out of it sucks.

So ask yourself:

-Am I suffering? (probably the answer is yes).

-Do I want to end it? (if yes, then take the actions required, look for solutions, and here is when you start your spiritual journey. If no, then go back to normal life as if nothing happened).

"Enlightenment is the end of suffering." it's very important to remember that.

All we can provide you with is just ideas, another layer of illusion on top of others, it's only you who can know.

Don't give me your answers. Keep them for yourself.
