What Is Enlightenment?

This Group is for people who wish to engage in meaningful spiritual inquiry about the topic of enlightenment. What is enlightenment? What does it mean to be enlightened, and what comes next? What has your experience been with developing your own awareness, with those who claim to be enlightened, or those that promise enlightenment?

We welcome all...(more)

We've changed our name to EnlightenNext

Robert said Apr 23, 4:47 PM:

 

Dear Everyone,
I’m writing this short post to all of you who have contributed to the conversation on this pod over the past couple of years. We, the folks at what was then What Is Enlightenment? magazine, started the pod for people to engage beyond the pages of the magazine in meaningful spiritual inquiry. And many of you did, and broadly so! There are threads that cover as much territory as one might expect with a question like, “what is Enlightenment?”  
 
We recently made some big changes, notably the name of the magazine itself, which as of last December is now called EnlightenNext. You can read more here about why this change came about. But because of this, and because the conversation on this pod has ranged so freely and widely, as well it should, we’re going let it go as a moderated pod, and let it be what it is, which is a pod for open-ended spiritual conversations as diverse as the members.
 
I’d like to offer everyone a parting gift, a free digital copy of the first issue of EnlightenNext (Dec 08 – Feb 09). I hope that you enjoy.
 
Warm regards,
Robert Heinzman
Publisher

Thanks so much for this. I've read “Enlightenment” off and on for a few years and have used Zinio for a few more than that as a subscriber to U.S. News and World Report, Newsweek, Time, etc. but had lost touch with the account. It's a wonderful service and I love the idea of being a subscriber to “EnlightenNext” without having to contribute to the sacrifice of even more trees to do it. The internet is a very large part of my creative life and it's fitting to have a subscription to one of my favorite magazines just a click away.

Again, thanks for this free copy. I took the opportunity to subscribe as well and look forward to reading for a long time to come.
