    What The Word "Enlightenment" Does Right

    Despite problems, the word enlightenment does capture two real aspects of awakening: transformation and insight. This is a short snippet from my episode Is Enlightenment The Right Word? on Wednesday 11/3.

    Is Enlightenment The Right Word?

    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.

    The Late Stage of Meditation

    Perhaps 1% or fewer practitioners reach late-stage meditation, where awakening has permanently altered one’s perception. Late stage says: “There is no centre for awakening to happen to.” This is a snippet from my episode from Wednesday 11/3, The Three Stages of Meditation.

    The Middle Stage of Meditation

    Mid-stage practitioners constitute perhaps 5–10% of meditators. This is the stage where awakening begins to stabilise. A core feature of this stage is that thoughts lose their unquestioned authority. They are still present, but they are no longer automatically taken as reality. Thoughts are seen as appearances rather than truths: as thoughts, nothing more, nothing less. This is a snippet from my episode The Three Stages of Insight Work from the 4th of March.

    The Early Stage of Meditation

    At the early stage, meditation is something you do. It is an activity during the day, set apart from life, distinct from the rest. Awakening is imagined as a future event: a breakthrough, a shift, a permanent state waiting at the end of sufficient effort. This is a snippet from my episode on Wednesday 4th March, The Three Stages of Meditation & Spiritual Insight.

    The Three Stages of Meditation & Spiritual Insight

    We tend to see meditation as a single spiritual practice experienced equally by all. It seems meditators sit, practice their technique, attend retreats and accumulate hours. What’s missing is the developmental dimension of meditation. This practice unfolds in recognisable developmental stages. These are not rigid categories, but shifts in identity, perception and relationship to experience. What changes is not just depth of calm — it is the structure of self.

    Meaningful, Meaningless & Ameaningful

    Meaning, meaningnless and ameaningful are three different words. Meaning and meaninglessness imply one another. Questioning the meaning of life is not a symptom of meaninglessness. We are obsessed with meaning, and yet life could be ameaningful.

    The Problems In Discussing The Meaning Of Life

    The question "What Is The Meaning of Life?" is fraught with difficulties and blindspots. It's so tempting to overcomplicate it, to oversimplify it, or to blindly rely on others to tell you the answer. This is an extract from my latest episode "What Is The Meaning Of Life?"
