Enlightenment truly does change a man, if he allows himself to see the light that the Redeemed offer you.
In my case...first I fought it, thinking the light was...well, the next life. I thought death was coming for me, and I refused to give in. However something within told me...it was something else, and I began to give way...to the light. It engulfed me and for what it seemed an eternity it was...around me, in me...everywhere. I felt at peace for the first time in a long, long time.
I let go of my hate of those who wronged me, the people who killed my father, the ones who betrayed me and my clan. But what was the hardest thing to give up, was my guilt.
Guilt which I had felt, thinking I had failed as a leader, as a clanner and as a man for allowing things to go badly. It was in this moment that I saw that it was not my fault, things were not in my control.
And just as the light came, it slowly vanished...and I could feel myself being linked to The Source. I'm yet to fully understand it, but I guess it is the first step of enlightenment.
What seemed to me to be hours...was only seconds, as when it was all over, the team I was with was still congratulating me on my achievement.
I guess, things didn't go the way I expected, but you adapt, you learn, and you grow.
Once again, a dragon is reborn.
