It is not a glorified state of the inward or subjective being.
Enlightenment is a bodily Condition.
It is a matter of the transcendence of mind,
all inwardness, and all illusions of independent existence.
It is a matter of relationship, not inwardness.
It is a matter of the conversion of attention from exclusive fascination
with the objects, states, desires, and mental reflectiveness
of the subjective disposition.
It is a matter of the dissolution of attention
in the Transcendental Reality, the Living God.
Enlightenment is the most subtle, or tacit, unspeakable understanding.
On its basis, all kinds of radiant transformations may develop
but the Realization itself is so tacit, so simple,
so direct, so obvious, so fundamental,
that it is not identified with any phenomenon or experience or knowledge.
-Franklin Jones
