Enlightenment is happening here and now. Transcendent experiences allow us to gain direct knowledge of how truly unlimited we are. They give us a window into our limitless nature and the interconnected universe. But continually seeking the transcendent can become addictive and turn into an obstacle for us. Enlightenment is not "found" in any special place or experience. Enlightenment is our nature. When we awaken to that and live in it, everything in our life is a spiritual practice - laundry, doing dishes, driving kids around. There is no more need for transcendence because we are living in constant communion with the Divine Source.
