When I was on my journey I didn't know what to expect, what would wait for me at the end, providing there would be an end at all. There was no one to ask and nobody told me. For a long while, I was walking in darkness. I tried a few times to make a U-turn and go back to the old good and familiar safe harbor, but of course, it was impossible. Once one begins one's Odyssey, there is no way back.

It would certainly have helped me to know what enlightenment was good for. What was I doing it for? What was the goal, the light at the end of the dark tunnel?
Now I know. And here are my findings:
Freedom– you will be free. Actually, you are now free already but you don't realize it yet. Your freedom will set you apart from old karmic contracts, old ancestral ties that have been holding you back for thousands of years and many lifetimes. You will be free from troubling thoughts and agonizing emotions.
Non-duality unless you choose it – you will live in a space, mentally and emotionally, which is out of the ordinary paradigm of conflict. The world is structured in opposing pairs, men vs. women, wealth vs. poor, noise vs. serenity, secular vs. religious, mind vs. heart, love vs. hate, god vs. satan, light vs. darkness etc. The truth is beyond duality. You will be nothing and everything at the same time. You will still experience duality but you will be aware of it and choose it.
Perceptive - You will know things out of the blue. As if you have another mind which completes your regular way of thinking. That expand knowing will bring a deep compassion for your loved ones, your community, and life in general. You will have a different definition of compassion. It will allow you to respect other people's paths without the need to fix them.
Not alone – this perhaps is the most felt change. You will not feel alone anymore. Never, unless you choose to. You will be accompanied by your soul self which is the best friend you could wish for.

Inner peace, Drama free – people will tell you that you are calm. Because you will be so. Very few things will make you angry or upset, you will look at the world and personal affairs with a smile because you will know that everything is ok.
Rich, happy, healthy, attractive - all these things will not matter to you and will exist in your life effortlessly. If you follow the road to enlightenment to have more money in your bank account or to be successful with the women, you better quit now. Enlightenment will ruin you.
No supernatural forces – Many people think that when they are enlightened they will be able to walk on water, bend spoons, read minds and walk through walls. Most of you will not be able to do that or won't want to do those things.
No dying – first, you will release the fear of dying. You will know and experience what dying is – just a long dream as I have said so many times before - and you will stop fearing to die. Secondly, you will bypass the birthing-dying process. If you choose to come to another lifetime you probably will not do that through physical birth.
Life is effortless – perhaps it's difficult to imagine right now because you are used to doing something in order to have something or obtain a desired result. Effortless life means that everything comes to you, people, objects, events. Things will come at the right time, at the right place.
Life becomes interesting – most of you are now living in a survival mode. Just enough type of thinking. Once you realize your mastery you get to live a life of expression. You derive joy from being able to express yourself, your soul self, in the physical world. This urge to express yourself happens in everything, every aspect of your ordinary life, and not only the artistic parts of it.
Sounds good, isn't it? How to get there? The trick is to be it. The more you live according to the above descriptions the faster you will realize your mastery. It's a chicken and egg situation, I know, but it's still a way to make the process faster.
Don’t' worry, enlightenment is effortless, so even if you sit all day on your sofa and do nothing it will come to you.
Eventually.
True, in my opinion to get the enlightenment the medium are our thoughts and same way to distract from the path of enlightenment is also the thoughts because, actually in my opinion to achieve the real enlightenment we have to deep dive into our inner self and that is possible through the Self Introspection process it's nothing but silent meditation and then we should try to understand the real and true meaning of our life. In my opinion some people get distract and they lose the power of thoughts means sometimes they force on materialistic things but we are spiritual beings so we have to understand the common phenomenon and that is we are consciousness and once we leave this world, only our physical body will perish but our consciousness is eternal. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
This is interesting and deep, but why the dark angel in the picture is carrying the white woman?
It could be vice versa🙂
Ah... I see. You Sir are tricky!
I don't know why @nomad-magus but during the time I read you post I felt like I am going to to a peaceful familiar journey.
Learn from your experiences, and learn from your mistakes will make life better
dear @nomad-magus sir
love is hard for me,,thanks for sharing this sir
great article sir ow your life will change
dear @nomad-magus I agree with you the time is come in life where every one come to know that what happened to him/her. If we have face some hard time it will teach the lesson of life and we learn it earlier other wise the time will come when we learn how to live our lives. but in all the situations if we have positive mind we will have got success.
thanks for your great illustration.
Change your life Give trust to others Being honest with everyone You will be master here
Letting go of the belief in death provides more relief than 100 farts all at once and frees our energy to focus on the beautiful life here and now. - @jerrybanfield
Nice enlightenment.. The findings are of the mastery level.. It will be acquired one by one,i guess... It would definitely make the process faster... Thanks
People who give more to others in terms of time and resources both experience greater satisfaction in life.
I’m definitely going to be look forward to more posts from you.
followed,,upvoted and resteem
Welcome and thank you🙏
We can not control what happens to us, but we can control your attitude
toward what happens to us, and in that, we will be mastering change rather
than allowing it to master us.
dear @nomad-magus
If you want to change your life just start with small steps, by being a bit happier about your life and appreciating what you currently have. That state of mind will shift from where you are to a different place, but you have to be consistent; otherwise, you might give up.

Thanks for your advice. I am sure many will benefit from it.
As for myself, I don't want to change anything in my life.👍
The problem is I still get irritated when some people push my buttons. 😣 Ah enlightenment...
Because your ego still plays the game of "I am a victim"
Nah I don't have the victim mentality for years now. Dunno if that's what you mean. Like earlier when someone lied to me online and I'm thinking how can people keep lying when you know the truth. 😂
I also have allergy to liers. But they make me smile cause they lie out of fear. So at first I'm amused by their dishonesty, then I get bored. People who are afraid are boring.
In the past I was irritated by liers. Then I realized it is a waste of time and emotions.
🤔🙄
Ah I haven't gotten to that point yet. Am at a point where it annoys me when people do things that aren't helpful for themselves. Ah but then I am not perfect so I guess I should just let it go until I can find a way to work on it... Whew.
... Because you have a golden heart
Am not sure abt that but thank u. 😂
Great prepositioning of things we know but dont accept...
Thanks @nomad-magus for informative blog...
Actually in short words you gave the idea of happy life but condition is you shouldn't quit.
good, the opposite of love is hard for me @nomad-mag
Amazing post

To me having faith you are never alone, however it doesn’t mean it can’t be tough to be alone and have a faith. I’m afraid being alone even though having faith. I hope this makes sense.
Being rich, happy, healthy, attractive will reach its end eventually and the pain will be much worse. As you mantioned “Enlightenment will ruin you.”
I like the way you wrote about dying. We have to fear the death.
Thinking about it, I must agree. I think, even though some won’t admit it, subconsciously everyone is in survival mode.
nice post
I like your post
