Viewing the World Enlightened

[anagogy]

Is enlightenment like viewing the world as a Blu-Ray whereas not enlightened is like VHS?

Does enlightenment/nirvana/intelligent infinity give you better depth-perception and more colors in your life?
Does it help you to see things you would normally miss?

What about us who will probably never become enlightened? Is there any chance for us to see the world in new ways?

I don't consider myself enlightened, but like many people on this forum, I feel I've had glimpses of what to look forward to.

What I have garnered (though my perceptions are necessarily flawed) from such glimpses, is that enlightenment is just waking up, and becoming absolutely conscious.  Right now, you could say we are asleep (to some extent).  We are experiencing illusion.  Now, illusion doesn't necessarily imply something is not "real", but it generally implies the way we are perceiving it is not "completely accurate".  We are partially asleep, and partially awake.  We are seeing both portions of the Real, and portions of the False.

Illusion is characterized by unconsciousness.  The background of all unconsciousness is, by logical extension, consciousness.  The place where this unconsciousness meets the consciousness could be described as "the meeting place between inner and outer vibratory understanding".  This determines your density level.

So given that explanation, it follows that becoming more enlightened gives you more consciousness of That Which Is, so in a sense, you would see more than you would at a less conscious state.  There would be more vividness.

And of course there are opportunities to see the world in new ways!  You are doing it all the time, it just usually happens so gradually you don't consciously perceive the contrast between your prior awareness and the current awareness.

All the blockages of the energy centers, which causes you to experience the grosser levels of illusion are created, surprisingly, and simply by *where* your attention is diverted to any given time.  So a good first step might just being more the "watcher" or "witness" and dispassionately observing where your attention is going on a moment to moment basis.  All distortions are being created in the moment.  "The source of all distortions is the limit of the viewpoint."  

"Any entity may at any time instantaneously clear and balance its energy centers."  Enlightenment is that moment when you cast off all attention to the false and lock your awareness firmly on the truth. 

Our fixation on the seeming appearance of separation perpetuates the experience of it, and all the corollary logical extensions of it.  We believe ourselves to be parts and so we then must have the experience of being portions instead of the seamless Whole.  Our beliefs are the shackles which bind us.
