Is Enlightenment Attainable?

The short answer is yes. Luckily for me, the long answer is yes followed by 2-3 paragraphs backing it up in a truly A+ fashion. Cosmic Consciousness, according to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is the birthright of every person. Over the past millenia we have forgotten our birhtright, our deserved state of consciousness, and as such have built a world that runs in seemingly deliberate opposition to it. As they says it is always darkest before dawn. As hundreds of years of night finally break over a world ruled by money, corruption, and expansion, we have seen the first rays of light radiating over the horizon in the form of a meditation technique allowing an effortless state of transcendence brining a new brightness to the life.
And look! Off on the horizon. See it? You can just make out the silhouette of a magnificant horse. But wait a second, look again. Look closer now. Why, that's no ordinary horse! It's a Unicorn! And as you stand pondering the glorious image of a unicorn standing off in the horizon at dawn in your mind's eye, you realize the whole thing was actually just a beautiful analogy.
The unicorn was Maharishi gallantly galloping toward you bearing a message of Transcendental Meditation so you too may bask in its warmth. Like Helios, drawing the sun through the sky behind his chariot, Maharishi Mahesh Unicorn has carried an effortless path to Cosmic Consciousness to our seemingly eternally nocturnal planet. And indeed, as the Sun shines on all objects the same, Transcendental Meditation makes us all equally capable of attaining Cosmic Consciousness, so long as we have purified ourselves. As pure as snow, as pure as Penta Water, as pure as...say, a unicorn on the horizon at daybreak.



You know you've found the right school when that paper gets you an A.
