Enlightenment: Tradition
built 202 days ago
Enlightenment is the experience-nonexperience resulting in the realization of one's transcendent Self-Parasiva -which exists beyond time, form and space. Each tradition has its own understanding of enlightenment, often indicated by unique terms.

Enlightenment is not purely psychological. In the course of higher human development, physical changes ... occur, most dramatically in the later phases of the enlightenment process. In the final phase, according to various sacred traditions, the body is alchemically changed into light. Enlightenment becomes literally so, through the transubstantiation of flesh, blood, and bone into an immortal body of light. Through a combination of personal effort and divine grace, a person attains a deathless condition through the alchemical transmutation of his or her ordinary fleshly body. This transubstantiated body is called various names in the traditions, such as light body, solar body, diamond body, or resurrection body.

In ancient times those seeking enlightenment sometimes attended “Mystery Schools”. In these schools students would be led through a series of discoveries and revelations through viewing and participating in dramas and re-enactments of the lives and deaths of various gods and other and myths. Groups and organizations which attempt to emulate the great mystery schools may still be found by the persistent seeker. Many traditional Wiccan covens operate as mystery schools.
