For me it's about opening your eyes...

to the world and taking it in for ALL it is and not just what it has to offer. It's about being thankful for the gift of life and never taking anything in life for granted, nor ever forgetting that there are so many out there that do make it past today, and if you do to not waste such a amazing gift, but to make sure you experience it in it's fullest contrast. Enlightenment for me is to look at ones self, past, present, experiences, failures, accomplishments, and dreams from an open mind and outside of ones opinions to understand what meaning ones life has for his/her self. Enlightenment is not a separation of anything but yet it is to open the eyes and see more than you have ever saw before.

It's not escaping away from anything about this physical world, but escaping such a controlled and blind way of life and finding a new one in the same physical world, and that new life you find is what's transcendental of the old one.

Intro

Hello,

This is a place for me to share my thoughts and insights in life with you. I'll not waste your time with a long drawn out paragraph of the inner workings of me, that's what my posts are for. Instead, i'll leave you to enjoy my blog and invite you to share your insights and opinions with me and the fellow viewers of this blog. Also, at the top of the page you will see links in the navbar of sites where you can also find me, one being my facebook page, another a site i run myself, and also a site i'm very much a part of and love dearly. Feel free to follow me around the web as i add links and share these things with you.

Smile and be happy my friend,
Johnpaul N.
