Enlightenment smells like chocolate

Enlightenment doesn't smell like chocolate.
It can smell like coffee beans, fresh baked bread, soiled diapers, melted butter, rotten eggs or rain.
Enlightenment is the moment when you are so aware of that particular moment that nothing else exists.
There is no past and future. There are no worries or expectations.
There is just now.
Your senses are experiencing the smell or touch or taste or vision so profoundly that you get lost in it.
The moment becomes everything. It becomes eternity.

Like the drop of rain sliding down your neck on a summer afternoon.
Experience it.

In that moment there are no questions or answers. There is just the rain drop and your sensation of it.
That is eternity.

That moment doesn't last long, but the moment we wake up to it we can consciously work to practice it more often.

Enlightenment is not a goal, not a place to reach but a practice of embodying the human spirit.
The practice of breathing consciously and waking up to the collective awareness while in the human body.
