“Enlightenment,” says D.T. Suzuki, “is the absolute reason of the universe.”

Enlightenment, according to Sadhguru, is the one and only cure for the one and only malady that ails us: ignorance of our true nature.

Countless saints, sages, and spiritual teachers from all corners of the world echo these claims from throughout the ages, hailing enlightenment as the inevitable end to our struggles, and the very goal and purpose of life.

So what exactly is enlightenment? What is spiritual awakening according to those who have awakened? What does enlightenment tell us about who we are, and how to live?

Join Brian Clark for an in-depth exploration of this fascinating universal phenomenon, as he shares a bit of his own journey of spiritual discovery alongside awakening stories and enlightening teachings from a wide array of liberated beings, spanning the religious and secular spectrum.

Not only is enlightenment the key term to understand in order to go beyond the dogma of religion into the experiential essence of engaged spirituality, but a glimpse of its truth has the power to transform your life more radically than can be imagined.

It can not be overstated.

Enlightenment is the realization of all that is true, and the destruction of all that is false.
