Spiritual Psychology is based on an understanding of humans being multi-layered entities with a mind, body and Soul. How do we awaken the Soul Aspect of our being and how come we could meditate on a mountaintop for eons without significantly touching our underlying emotional traumas? Likewise, how come we could do psychoanalyze ourselves for a lifetime without moving a step closer to enlightenment. How do we reconcile this uneasy alliance between our emotional and spiritual selves?

In this second chapter of Kiara Windriders new book; “Enlightenment 2012: Kalki and the Golden Age”, Kiara is meeting Kalki.
“Enlightenment is very easy”, ended Kalki as we left, “and everyone should get enlightened”. My hope is that this book will inspire many to do so. After all, he says, it is only the beginning of the true spiritual riches that are available to us as incarnated souls.
In this fourth chapter of Kiara Windriders new book; “Enlightenment 2012: Kalki and the Golden Age”, Kiara is gives an explanation to what enlightenment is.
Enlightenment has nothing to do with how long you have been on a spiritual path, nor with what your religious beliefs are. You do not even need to believe in God or have any concepts about the soul. Enlightenment does not depend on knowing the right teachings or mantras. It has nothing to do with how many lifetimes you have meditated, or even with how ‘good’ a person you are. There is nothing you can ‘do’ to get enlightened. Enlightenment cannot be achieved through your own efforts any more than a drowning person can yank himself out by his own hair. The mind cannot deactivate itself. It can only happen by grace.

When Kundalini awakening happens to people who are not on a spiritual path, the experience can leave them fragile and fragmented. As the Kundalini process involves a redefinition and reintegration of self, it adds extra pressure when people wish to suppress the transformation and insist to lead their lives normally.
Enlightenment is a fundamental concept in religion and spirituality which essentially means being illuminated by acquiring new wisdom or understanding.
While "enlightenment" typically refers to the generally Eastern religious concept —ie. the Buddhist Bodhi, the Zen Satori, and the Hindu moksha, —Western religious traditions (ie. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) also hold a similar concept of divine illumination.
