Siddhananda: (Showing a small marble stone) Okay.
G: hmm hmm.
Siddhananda: (pausing with closed eyes). They have a question, (pause), about stages of enlightenment.
G: hmm hmm.
Siddhananda: Like, what are the levels, maybe?
G: hmm hmm.
Siddhananda: Like, are there levels of enlightenment?
G: Not really levels of enlightenment. Enlightenment is enlightenment! But, it does take a while, once one enters realization, to settle, for things to settle (gesturing a settling down). So, in that way, you could say there are levels or stages.
Siddhananda: (nodding).
G: There's only one Truth. When that Truth is revealed, that Truth is revealed. It's the heart of being. But, again, it takes a little while to then go from that IS and zero-point balance to come back into manifestation and be able to be that still center with the rest of the manifestation revolving around it (gesturing with finger, a center with things revolving around). So, it just takes a little time for those energies to straighten themselves and fully settle. Yeah.
Siddhananda: Okay, they are hearing it. (pause). And then i am hearing "Jivan mukta" and "Videha mukta".
G: Jivan mukta and what?
Siddhananda: Videha mukta.
G: Videha?
Siddhananda: It's the one after you pass or something?
G: Or, maybe the mukti being just liberated from the body, is what they are talking about.
Siddhananda: hmm hmm.
G: One is liberation from the body and Jivan mukti is liberation of the soul.
Siddhananda: Right. (pause). Yeah, that was being reflected, those two.
G: Yeah.
Siddhananda: Thank you so much (gesturing namaste).
G: Thank you. Namaste. (gesturing namaste).
