A Picture of an Enlightened Being

[Razard86]

The Truth is a sword, but this sword both divides and unites. An Enlightened Being is like a kind warrior who only takes the sword of truth out of its scabbard when the the situation calls for it but in general keeps it sheathed. A passive warrior, the darkness that is housed within the sword rarely is cast upon the unfortunate soul who is unprepared for its fury but rouses it from its sleep. 

For those who dance around the Truth but are too afraid to face it, horror and terror will be their constant companion. Only when the truth is faced fervently does the horror and terror disappear. The illusions are strong, and can only be dispelled by a desire that rings true and is completely straightforward. Unless your desire for truth is sharp as a sword, you will never cut through the illusions and will just circle around in a hell of mass delusion. 

You awaken when the grand design of life is illuminated, the genius of its structure revealed. Life is always teaching, to awaken is to take the master course. All maybe story, but this story never ends. This story has the perfect combination of that which is known and that which is unknown. As a result infinite exploration will always be the case. A resignation to the unknown is to play the fool forever, for the fool does not know. The fool becomes wise when the fool admits it doesn't know, thus the light of knowledge can reveal itself. 

This light of knowledge can be revealed through higher levels of intuitive understanding. The true super power is to be able to shed the confines of your world view, and to bounce around to different viewpoints without being confined to any. When you can shape shift your world view on the fly then you have gained knowledge of self. Sometimes it cannot be worded, but a knowing beyond words, a recognition if you will can happen where your ability to comprehend is completely emotionally intuitive. You connect and instantly understand the emotional expression and why it occurred. This allows you to connect perfectly with the individual beyond mere words. You don't need them to explain, which is just painting a mental picture, you can connect to their emotional reality and thus "GET IT" because through accessing their emotional reality you just experienced it. 

I call this SUPER EMPATHY. Super Empathy is a possibility for all, some say it was the natural state of ancient humans before the creation of words. Who knows?

Nice. Your post inspired me to make this using DALL·E 2.

I love how the sword is asymmetrical.
