About this episode
We use the word enlightenment all the time in spirituality.
But it might actually be one of the most misleading words in the entire field.
It suggests a climactic transformation, a final state, something rare and special.
Yet the lived experience of awakening is usually quieter, slower, and far more ordinary.
