 49. Enlightenment |
| 95.The "Form of the Good" | (Plato, the essence and state of an individual who has attained divine-self-realization.) |
| 96.Arete | (Plato, to attain one's highest potential. Goodness, virtue. To Know-Thy-Self as eternal spirit.) |
| 97.Philosophers Stone | A metaphor for eternal life. i.e., one's name is carved in stone and is IMMORTAL as eternal spirit. Same as Satori, Nirvana, Heaven, At-one-ment, etc., etc. (DIVINE SELF-REALIZATION) |
| 98. Wisdom | "Hokhma" in Hebrew, a superior reality, not intellectual knowledge, but knowing by actual experience the nature of reality which is consciousness-spirit, same as spiritual enlightenment, nirvana, kindgom of God, heaven, at-onement, etc. |
| 99. The Secret Place of the Most High | Psalms 91:1, nirvana, heaven, spiritual enlightenment, true knowledge, etc. |
| 100. Anamnesis | Plato, the recollection or "remembrance" (actual experience) of one's own true and natural divine state of being. |
| 101. Final Surrender | From Islam, the final stage when one becomes firmly established in God-union - not the intellectual exceptance - but the actual moment-to-moment of divine transfiguration. (i.e., one becomes the universal self or God incarnated). "No God but God" only when one attains (returns) to actual spiritual God-union, (also called nirvana, satori, heaven, at-onement, etc.) Does God become "real" until then? God is a mental concept of a separate being. God does not exist...until one becomes God. |
In any and all of the true states, phases, levels or degrees of spiritual enlightenment, God-self-realization, there are fundamental insights and revelations, they are: Knowing that one is eternal, that one will not and cannot die or be killed even though the physical body vessel / temple will someday end. One also realizes (Intuits) that there are no places as Heaven or hell. They only existed because the psychological-person-ality existed (i.e., your old unnatural egoic self).
There is no longer any fear, anxiety or depression, there is no longer anything called space, time and/or infinity, which are all concepts of the psychological person-ality. One is no longer controlled by thoughts and past memories and the bad habits of the physical body (Divine Animal). One may receive additional insights and revelations on the nature of the universe or any subject depending on one's past karma and purpose in the earth plane.
With true understanding and wisdom one is equivalent to a prophet, oracle, saint, and sage and is qualified to teach others the way back to a natural life.
Any person, male or female, who attains (actually returns to) God-Self-Realization, also called spiritual - enlightenment etc,etc, in any phase, degree or level are/were called: saints, sages, prophets, wisemen, seers, a Christ, a Buddha, a dragon (Taoism), son / daughter of God or Zeus (greek), a shien (Taoism), a brahmin or brahman (Hinduism), the anointed one, a messiah, an avatar (One who returns to the earth to update spiritual teachings), a gnostic (One who knows by achievement, not just intellectually). God manifested or Godman, and divine mother (For women).
God-Self-Realization, spiritual enlightenment, transpires through THREE stages or phases which was indicated by all the ancient religions in one form or another.
