Beyond Enlightenment

okay okay … i've already said that enlightenment is a lie … so what's this all about really?

enlightenment itself
continues into one's daily life endlessly.

AHO!!

Spiritual freedom is my birthright.
I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental

I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate
me or deceive me.
I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.
Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual
freedom.
