The New Age has been teaching that Enlightenment is about Feeling Good All the Time. You know what that is? That is Total Bullshit. Because all this is, is an appeal to ego, telling people what they want to hear. Enlightenment is nothing remotely about that. Enlightenment is about Learning What The Truth Is, taking the truth into yourself, and then helping other people to understand it. It is NOT about feeling good all the time. It is about feeling the anger when injustices are taking place to spur you on to right action. That is the role for anger. Most of all what Real Enlightenment is about is Responsibility to the Truth. It is more than responsibility to yourself, it is more than responsibility to other people, it is more than responsibility to a whole civilization, a whole planetary society. It is about Responsibility to Truth. That has to come above all else. When Morpheus offered Neo a choice between the Red Pill and the Blue Pill, he said that all he was offering was the Truth. He did not say that hearing the Truth would make him feel good, or that it would be pleasant. It was simply the Truth. One does not become Enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the Darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable, and therefore, not popular. - Carl Jung Learn More Here: youtube/watch?v=Q51l_E8Tlp0
