Lessons Enlightenment. Elena Sidelnikova

is individual; it happens differently for everyone. BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL DIFFERENT, AND YOUR PATHS VARY. THE DEGREE OF YOUR READINESS FOR THIS PROCESS DIFFERS. THAT IS, YOUR LEVEL OF PURITY VARIES, AND FOR EACH OF YOU, THE CONCEPTS OF POSSIBILITY AND NECESSITY COMBINE DIFFERENTLY. That’s why some ignite with the loss of their physical body, like some of your yogis, while others ignite while keeping their physical body.

      We still haven’t talked about meditation.

      We’ve been talking about it all along. Because meditation is not just sitting in silence. What you understand as meditation is a process. But true meditation is a result. More precisely, it is a state of consciousness, a way of life, a natural way of being. What you call meditation is simply the path to real meditation, which is a constant, natural state of consciousness. But we will talk about this another time, if you are interested.

      Of course, I’m interested! That’s why I came to you. Thank you for your clarifications and help.

      And I thank you for seeking your path and trying to help others find theirs. But do not despair. For your whole life is a movement toward enlightenment, for nothing else is given. The only question is how much you resist this process. So just learn to trust it, and everything will come naturally. The flow of life will carry you and direct you toward enlightenment.

      Lesson 2. Awaken the Buddha Within

      Hello, Buddha. Shall we continue?

      Greetings, oh soul. We shall continue if that is your wish.

      You are trying to tell us what enlightenment is and what must be done to attain it. The first condition is to accept your death as a natural and desirable part of the enlightenment process and to not fear it. This means not clinging to earthly existence or earthly illusion.

      Yes, that is an essential condition. Changes within you are only possible when you allow them into your life. Not just allow, but throw the doors wide open to the flow of life and fully surrender to its currents.

      When you say to fully surrender, do you mean our mind?

      The mind itself is not the barrier. But the qualities of your mind keep you captive in illusions.

      Does this mean, for example, that plants, which have no mind, can easily and freely become enlightened? Or are they already enlightened?

      As you were told, enlightenment is the sense of unity with all that exists. The consciousness of the plant kingdom is not as separated from the planetary spirit’s consciousness as yours is; it is less individualized. Therefore, it could be said that the plant kingdom is partially enlightened. This is because plant consciousness is not fully detached from the consciousness of its realm, its unity. In this sense, plants are more enlightened than you. However, the functions of plants are limited compared to yours. Their capabilities are more restricted. They are mastering the tasks of the second density and will also need to continue evolving through the stages of spiritual evolution.

      But this confuses me. There’s a theory that the soul goes through different stages of separation and return to unity. That it descends first to the first level, starting with the mineral kingdom, and gradually moves up the ladder of evolution, mastering new abilities of the Creative Spirit. After the plant kingdom, it ascends to the animal kingdom and undergoes its experience there. Then it rises to human consciousness and continues evolving. But if humans acquire a mind that hinders enlightenment, isn’t that a kind of degradation? If plants are more enlightened than animals and humans, then what’s the point of it all? Doesn’t this make the whole path seem wrong?

      There are no right or wrong paths. At each level of development, there are ways to achieve enlightenment. Every essence, as it moves along its path of growth, always has the potential for enlightenment, meaning the restoration of its connection to unity. Among you, there are enlightened minerals, enlightened plants, and enlightened animals.

      Are you referring to whales and dolphins? But aren’t they remnants of some alien race that originally came to Earth to help humanity, and that’s why they remain a sufficiently enlightened alien race?

      They did come to this planet, and a similar form of existence was created for them, although their original appearance was slightly different. They are also in the realm of duality, at the third density transitioning into the fourth, yet they were able to achieve enlightenment by reconnecting with the elements of Earth’s spirit – thus becoming restored unity. What I mean is that each level has different directions for development: to follow the path of unity or to follow the path of separation. Each of you and every essence at every level of development constantly chooses between these two polar forces. Depending on the choice, each essence is more or less enlightened. Humanity was given the mind to realize the ability for knowledge and exploration. Humanity was also given emotions, which many races lack and which are absent in the plant and animal kingdoms. By combining this palette of emotions with the qualities of the mind, you are meant to find the most optimal balance between unity and separation.

      Have you found it?

      What I have found is my path. And the path of each individual cannot resemble the path of another because all essences are different. They have different radiances, different experiences that cannot be exactly repeated.

      Help us find it. Maybe you could tell us about your path?

      My path is simple. And you already have much information about it. But alright, I am willing to try again. If you learn to feel and realize unity with all that exists during life, then in the afterlife you will experience the same.

      But isn’t it said that in the afterlife, everyone restores that unity, everyone returns to the Father, and then each is asked if they want to return to the consciousness of separation. And most choose to return.

      Yes. But that is a slightly different quality, a different perspective. How can I explain it to you… Well, imagine that there is a maze in which you wander, a kind of game where you roam the maze looking for clues, prizes, or gifts. Or toys. Imagine you told a child that there is a maze filled with new toys, and they rushed to find them. Then, at a certain point, when you see that the child is tired and lost in the maze, needing a break and a reminder that there is an exit so they aren’t afraid of the maze, you bring them back, let them rest, and ask: Will you go again? And what child would refuse an exciting game of searching for toys? They will rush back in and begin to get lost again in the same passages, following the same routes. Less developed individuals will just chaotically dart around the maze, as humanity does. More developed ones will start drawing a map of the maze and trying to exit in groups, which is also happening with you. But in reality, something else needs to be done. You need to rise above the maze, look at it from a bird’s-eye view, broadening your perspective of the maze. And when your consciousness rises above the maze you’re wandering in, you’ll realize the maze is endless. Which means you can wander through it endlessly. You’ll see the layout of the maze. You’ll see where the toys are hidden. However, the desire to seek them will fade. Because you’ll understand that wandering through the maze forever is a futile and pointless task.

      There is no exit?

      If you are inside the maze, there is no exit. There are only winding passages created by your imagination and perception. Then you abandon the maze as a meaningless endeavor and leave it. You leave this density. That is my path.

      But after leaving the maze of illusions, what did you gain? What came next?

      Next was the Ocean of Consciousness, in which I remain to this day. When I choose to become the ocean, I become it and submerge into it, losing myself. When I choose to become the current of the ocean, I emerge from it and find myself.

      And what is the purpose of this?

      There is no purpose. There is
