What Is Enlightenment by John Yarr

The most important questions any human being can ask are:

Why am I here? What is the ultimate purpose for my existence? What is my goal as a human being?

The answer to these questions is the discovery of the ultimate truth – the cause of creation – Enlightenment.

We have to be perfectly clear in our understanding that the cause of creation cannot be comprehended in any way by anything other than itself. In other words the ultimate cause cannot be known or understood by the mind, for the simple reason, that the ultimate truth is infinite, absolute, undivided and a total unity. The mind can only understand limits, it can only work with beginnings and endings.

The ultimate truth has no beginning and no ending. The ultimate truth cannot be, and is not, an experience. An experience requires duality. The ultimate truth is a unity. It is important to try and grasp these statements because the purpose of your life is only complete when you have achieved this ultimate realization. The concept put forward concerning the ultimate truth by religions is confusing and is fundamentally untrue. The idea that the cause of everything should be feared, or that the ultimate cause is in any way intimidating or judgmental, is absolute rubbish. The idea that the ultimate state chooses people, talks to people, or gives instructions to people, is quite simply nonsense – it is not true. These concepts are projections of the mind and have nothing to do with truth at all. They are egotistic and are based on self-preservation, a quality of the ego.
