Pope John Paul II is enlightened for me and for some.
YES...You could be enlightened right now while making love to your wife or brushing your teeth.
Morally bad? In Spirituality there is no such thing as good or bad. There is only what works and what doesn't work.
STEPS? Well, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that is AWARENESS.
In Theosophy, there are three practices to achieve enlightenment: 1) Study and Reflection, 2) Meditation or Prayer, 3) Service to humanity
In order to transcend religion, first you have to know this : "THERE IS NO RELIGION HIGHER THAN TRUTH."
Theosophy says, You don't have to LEAVE your religion. You only need to LIVE the teachings of your religion.
