In a comment to poem #322, Bill asked, how do we reach enlightenment and achieve the things stated in poems 322 and 321. I realized I could ask the poets, but they would most likely ask me how many ways they need to answer that question. I don’t know that anyone holds the one key to enlightenment, but summarizing the 322 poems, it seems they’ve been telling us that things that help would be:
meditate/sit in the silence regularly
while there, ask to be aware of/to connect with your spirit and the Great Spirit/God
while in this state, simply “be” without trying
feel the love!
in a more active meditation, pray to feel spirit as much as possible
meditate/sit in the silence regularly
when in full rational mind/active mode, be the loving spiritual being you are by practicing unconditional love, kindness, compassion, non-judmentalism, self-acceptance, understanding, and forgiveness of those who don’t “get it”
love
meditate/sit in the silence regularly
remind yourself regularly that you are a spirit temporarily in a physical body and contemplate what that means
love with all your heart and soul
sit with God and trust that the Force is with you and IS you.
thank God for Life
ask for guidance
listen for the answers
trust that you are being guided
act on guidance you receive
love everyone and everything
sit in the silence and give thanks
ask to feel the love that is your essence
sit in the dark and ask to be enlightened
wait and see what happens
expect nothing
recognize that you may never get “there” for “here” is all that is
relax, and be happy
radiate love
sit in the silence ..
LOVE.
