The Enlightenment Journey
The journey to enlightenment is a journey to simplicity, sobriety, a profound ordinariness, and a place of rest. There are countless awakenings on this journey, and there are certain stages to waking up.

Change Your Future by Changing Your Past
By changing the basis for your fundamental thinking and behavior, you recast the past. You change the frame of reference for all of your past experience, and you have an entirely new and expanded palette of possibility to draw from for future experiences.
Your Relationship to Enlightenment
Your relationship to enlightenment impacts your ability to recognize it within yourself. Do you approach enlightenment, the void, the Absolute, the clear Light of Reality with fear or joyful longing?
Advanced Meditation & Mindfulness
Becoming enlightened is a process of fully accepting and integrating the clear Light of Reality as your own form. Advanced meditation and mindfulness practices enable you to become Light.

Doubt as a Spiritual Gift
On the spiritual journey, doubt can either cripple us or it can free us. When doubt it is expressed as a negative emotion, it causes us to stall out in practice by creating fearful responses and blocking change. Or it can be a powerful tool for awakening when it’s used as an invitation to challenge what you think you know.
Enlightened Lineage
A spiritual lineage that is alive with the energy of enlightenment is one that continues to transmit the power, purity, and possibility of awakening in the present time. Discover what it means to be an active participant in an enlightened lineage.
Spiritual Tests
New spiritual breakthroughs need to be integrated into your being to become permanent shifts in consciousness. One of the ways that awakening deepens and becomes more embodied is through spiritual tests. This is the way to gain insight into the depth of your realizations and to further your journey into expanded and bright fields of awareness.
Choices
Our choices shape our future. Enlightenment is a choice that is made, in every moment of every day. If you want your realization to be different from what it currently is, you have to make different choices. Here’s how.
Interview on Advanced Practice – Mu with Sara Weston
Sara Weston, author of How to Be Happy NOW, interviews Mu about the new book: Transcending the Advanced Path. They discuss awakening beyond the mind’s ideas and beliefs; karma; breaking the prism of perception; why enlightenment is a choice; and more!
New Book – Transcending the Advanced Path

A book of advanced teachings for those on the doorstep of spiritual liberation and beyond, it is an intimate and direct exploration of the shift from realization to integrating and embodying enlightenment deeply and completely.
Spiritual non-violence
The practice of non-violence is usually understood as doing no harm physically. But from a spiritual perspective, non-violence includes refraining from both physical and energetic harm. In Buddhism and Hinduism, the practice is called ahimsa, which Mahatma Gandhi defined as non-violence in thought, word, and deed.
Attention, perception, and awareness
Attention, perception, and states of awareness are all partialities. Learn the difference between these common spiritual terms, and how to access a direct experience of Reality before attention or perception create any limited views of consciousness.
Intuition is a powerful spiritual guide
On the advanced spiritual path, intuition is your powerful inner guide. Intuition tells you what next step to take even (and especially) if you can’t see the path in front of you. It is very common not to have a clear view of the way forward. On the advanced path, it’s your intention to wake up that is clear, not necessarily the path itself.

Enlightenment destroys enlightenment
To be fully awake, to experience Reality without any modifications, all identities, ideas, and filters must be washed away. This includes the enlightened identity. The process can be disorienting, but it is the ultimate liberation.
Spiritual pathways: practice and pitfalls
The common pathways to enlightenment offer a set of unique tools with the same ultimate goal: full awakening. Yet any technique, strategy, practice or experience will have its limitations. Take a closer look at the various spiritual yogas, including: service, devotion, inquiry, energy practices, and mysticism, to understand their benefits, as well as their potential pitfalls, so that you can travel with eyes wide open on your own path.
When jerks wake up
During the awakening process, which has many stages, it may be surprising to find in yourself and others that some of the worst tendencies become dominant. And because developmental work and shadow work are not necessarily required to wake up, awakened ones may not have matured in all areas.
Trust your gut
There is no universal roadmap on the advanced path. However, intuition is the compass that helps you find your way. Intuition is available through seeing, feeling and knowing. When in doubt, trust your gut.
