Ep. 8: What is Enlightenment? How is it Useful?

Believe it or not, "enlightenment" is a real thing. Yogis, sages, and mystics of many traditions have presented different methodologies for attaining this great state of consciousness marked by inner luminosity, stillness, and radiance. Not many people know, however, that there are further stages of realization beyond enlightenment. Many traditions call this further stage, Illumination. Attaining one of these levels of consciousness may give a temporary experience of the heights of one's inner greatness, but in this episode, Susanna Bair draws our attention to how these great states of attainment might influence us in our personality, priorities, and experience of everyday responsibilities.
