We need not be enlightened to experience high and lucid moments of consciousness. We need only to be mindful and give them attention when they appear. They are not a substitute for our striving and regular practice of spiritual disciplines we have chosen to suit our nature. However, spontaneous moments of high consciousness can be great aids on a long and demanding journey.
It is ours to recognize our moments of bliss, give them our attention and nurture them. They will grow and expand over time and can lift the tone of a whole day, in fact a whole life. Watch for and enjoy these mini-satori experiences of life—and be thankful. |
