The steps to being

“A man who is seeking for realization is not only going round searching for his spectacles without realizing that they are on his nose all the time, but also were he not actually looking through them he would not be able to see what he is looking for!” ~Wei Wu Wei

First, the quote exists. A statement resonating with truth and a feeling of elation from the meaning was achieved. Nothing has changed.

Second, comes the practice where imitation and application of the idea’s logic are forced into daily life. Attempted imitation lead to a general sense of success in the understanding. Actions are in tune with the idea.

Last, the state of mind changes and it just is. Physical enforcement and tuning of the behavior is no longer required. It evolves and changes with the person.

This is my first enlightenment.
