The realization of the non-duality of the observer and the observed. An entirely new consciousness whereby everything is perceived as a unity. A passage beyond the material world into a thought-transcending realm. A deep interior peace and a state of complete emptiness. The discovery of one's own inherent goodness. These are all experiences along the path to full Enlightenment. "Enlightenment is not the achievement of something, but the absence of something". It is a state where the ego and the small self have been transcended. - The Enlightenment Anyone is capable of attaining Enlightenment.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nicholas Socrates was born and raised in Jersey, Channel Islands. He is an artist who specializes in painting. His work has been exhibited at the Vienna Art Fair, the Innsbruck Contemporary Art Fair, the Puerto Rico Art Fair, Jersey's International Airport, the European Commissions Representation, and in London, Paris and Berlin, amongst others. "Socrates uses the canvas as a mirror, marking with strokes of the brush the reflections of his psyche and offers, to those who stand before his work, this mirror to use it for themselves." "...it is possible to observe the souls in these works." "What seems like abstract shapes and forms from afar are, on closer inspection, four-dimensional, holographic faces, words, symbols, ritualistic scenes and fantastic landscapes appear. They are, in fact, the intangible fabric of the subconscious woven together into interconnected dreamscapes inspiring in the viewer hope and joy.” Parikiaki
