--My experience is similar to this. Realizing that the past really dosen't exist, except in my mind, and that a lot of my perceptions of the past, change with time, and that letting go of being able to or wanting to change anything of the past.. Also, realizing that no one can really understand anyone else; you can't really know someone else's experiece, really, and no one can ever know your's, really. So, it really doesn't matter if you are misunderstood, or not understood at all. Anything that can convince your ego, that it doesn't know the whole story, and that any postition which you hold on any topic, can be re-evaluated and adjusted, so, you really don't have to hold on to any preconcieved notion of anything. Enlightenment provides, freedom in the present to just Be. Being means just witnessing everything which is taking place in the mind, the heart, the enviornment, the energy flowing through your body, the energy flowing through everything. The more engaged you can be in witnessing, the more present you can be, and the more present you can be, the less you are involved in the past or in the future...
