enlightenment by way of knowledge

"when there is total enlightenment there will be peace, the world will be in bliss when there is total enlightenment, so enlightenment is knowledge. As much knowledge as you can get people to seek and understand. But we have to call it to align." -Bright Eyes from the song "One for you, One for me" which has become my New Favorite Song!

To see Bright Eyes perform a live version of the song, Go to YouTube and type in search for Bright Eyes One for you Austin City Limits 2011. This live version is much more powerful than the studio track!

I have always had a hard time finding words to descried my thoughts, so I often use music. But when I heard this song I was like "this is what I have been trying to express." You can't be enlightened without knowledge, you can't know superior truth without lots of knowledge and experiments and trials. Knowledge is everything when it comes to knowing truth and being in touch with reality. Knowledge and the search for truth has never been a bad thing. The more you know, the more evidence and solid fact you have to prove something true or false. Knowledge is EVERYTHING!
