A lot of people think:
—-
If you’re average energy / average vibration, then you’re a normal person.
If you’re high energy / high vibration, then you’re a spiritually advanced person.
If you’re very high energy / very high vibration, then you’re enlightened.
—-
But enlightenment isn’t “take a person and add really high energy / vibration.” Enlightenment isn’t adding something to a person; it’s subtractive.
Now, I enjoy high-energy / high-vibration things too, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Personally I feel high-energy / high-vibration when I listen to the album “Root Down Deep” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwGDqzNsx_Q). I regularly listen to it and I very much enjoy doing so.
However, listening to music like that, and reading “high vibration articles”, isn’t going to make you enlightened.
Meditation, by itself, is also very unlikely to make you enlightened.
So, what has some chance of making you enlightened?
The article https://eraoflight.com/2026/08/30/tunia-what-enlightenment-is/ shared one method. Another method is:
Relentlessly and intensely practice “whatever arises, observe that” for a year. And apply this to everything. So it’s not just “whenever an unpleasant thought arises, observe that.” It’s “WHATEVER arises, observe that.”
After a year of that, ask yourself: “You think you are the one observing; look for the observer. Where are you?”
With love,

Read. Thank you, A.S.!
The phrase “raise your vibration” has become a cliché, but its origins in older esoteric philosophies—like Hermeticism or early 19th-century New Thought—were vastly different from the toxic positivity pushed today.
The Original Principle: In texts like the Kybalion (The Principle of Vibration), the concept simply stated that “nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.” It was used as a philosophical metaphor to explain that different states of matter, energy, and mind exist on a continuous spectrum, rather than being entirely separate things.
No Moral Judgement: In older traditions, a “lower” or “denser” vibration wasn’t inherently evil, bad, or a personal failure. Denser energy was simply associated with the physical, material world (like rocks, trees, and bodies), while lighter energy was associated with thought or spirit. Both were considered necessary components of existence.
The Modern Corruption: Pop-spirituality completely twisted this by assigning a moral hierarchy to it. It turned “high vibration” into a rigid requirement to only express joy and positivity, while labeling normal human emotions—like anger, grief, exhaustion, or suffering—as “low vibration” failures.
It took a neutral, philosophical description of the universe and turned it into an oppressive tool for spiritual bypassing and victim-blaming.

Since we’re on the subject, A.S. is this channeling you’re receiving is one sided ?
Can you, for example, have a conversation in your head with Tunia as a dialogue between two beings ?
I’m curious.
Yes, I agree for the most part, but I think it’s a bit imprecise. Observation alone won’t accomplish anything if awareness doesn’t turn toward the source.
Because you can observe all your thoughts and emotions still with the Mind and identify with the Person, and that’s not the point.
First, one should quiet down, relax, and turn one’s awareness back to the source.
Besides, there’s no guarantee, I’ve been practicing “self-inquiry” for years, and I still find myself getting caught up in the personal self. We keep falling for the idea that there’s some kind of personal self inside us.
I’ve discovered a cool technique myself: sit down in a chair, close your eyes, and try to find that “I” inside that you think you are. (It’s a powerful technique.)
If you succeed… let me know 😀
Our languages are also imprecise because there is no “person” who could become enlightened. Enlightenment is getting rid of the person, the personal self or, to put it another way, realizing that the person never existed.
Our spoken languages, on the other hand, are structured in such a way that they glorify the person, as if it truly existed. It’s hard to break free from this if you’ve identified with it your whole life.
Because, in reality, we don’t exist, it’s just God disguised as all beings 😀
Wow Wujas, thank you for this 👇

Well, I think there are many definitions of enlightenment — and perhaps many different types and degrees of the same experience.
I’m not really sure what enlightenment means, or what it does not mean.
True, many people define the word in many ways. My definition of enlightenment is in the Tunia article I link in the body of this article. (Maybe I should have added a line saying so in the article itself.)
