Love on the Path to Enlightenment

Enlightenment: the state of being enlightened.
Enlighten: to give spiritual insight to; to instruct; to impart knowledge to

The term enlightenment means different things to different people.  I'm using it in the sense of being given spiritual insights that are available to every human being, regardless of creed or religion.
I believe there are universal principles that can guide us through this lifetime and these principles allow us to grow in wisdom and understanding.
I believe we can all be enlightened by opening our mind to more than what we learned by rote and repetition.  Not everything we learned as children is wrong, but I choose to believe that life should be guided, not by fear, but by love.
Love really is all we need. The very spirit of life, the force that creates the universe and sets us free from blindness, from living in the dark, is love.
How to be enlightened?  Love.  This is how enlightenment comes.  Love yourself, and love your neighbor as yourself.
