       When a human being is born, it is an important statement of the System that controls everything in this Universe. This System of Life has a moral code, the implications of which very few people grasped. The ones who grasped its implications were the ones who spoke of the ‘Truth’, the never-ending Reality, the ones after whom the major religions are known. When a child is born, its mind is not the product of any parochial system that any society has devised as part of its reasoning. It is a beautiful expression because it is the creation of the holistic system of God. When it grows up, the social milieu takes hold of its mind, and the rest sometimes is very tragic. It is given some identity that others consider essential, the identity which does great damage to its mind. This is just because all these values that the parochial systems impose upon the mind do not agree with the moral System to which we essentially belong.

      Love must the basis of the interaction with everything that belongs to the System of Life that includes human beings too. Though this System that controls everything and every being in this Universe must be the System of God to those who speak of God it is not so because the religions that speak of God project their parochial systems sacred in violation of God's System. When such societies impose restrictions on the basis of the reductionism that they consider necessary for the identity of the group, with the lacing of an education that does not cultivate the essential love that is necessary for human happiness, the resultant mind is quite appropriate for waging wars and perpetrating evils for the promotion of the selfish. As civilization progresses, there will be many agencies of the civilization trying to fill consciousness with their own products, and the result is quite damaging to the mind because love can be cultivated only in relationship with the life that is the product of the System.

       Since we are the products of the System that gave us life the best expression of the human mind- its culture and spirituality- can be had only in relationship with what belongs to the System of Life. The problem comes when religions project their systems divine and in their attempts to serve God they alienate the mind from its essential qualities. The mind that regains its essential qualities has the ability to know the knowledge that belongs to the System of God, the knowledge that becomes alien to the religious fundamentalists who speak of their own faiths. Thus the Enlightened mind is at its pure state- 'pure' means not influenced by the reasoning of the mind that is conditioned by its own (or even that of others') 'perception, conviction and motivation'. The people who spoke of the Truth, the Ones who regained the real identity of the human mind, wanted to free their contemporaries from the shackles of the religious faiths that tampered with the essential human mind.  

      Carl Gustav Jung speaks thus of the Enlightenment: "The transcendent function does not proceed without aim and purpose, but leads to the revelation of the essential man. It is in the first place a purely natural process, which may in some cases pursue its course without the knowledge or assistance of the individual, and sometimes forcibly accomplish itself in the face of opposition. The meaning and purpose of the process is the realization, in all its aspects, of the personality originally hidden away in the embryonic germ-plasm; the production and unfolding of the original, potential wholeness…. If we can successfully develop that function which I have called transcendent, the disharmony ceases and then we can enjoy the favourable side of the unconscious. The unconscious then gives us all the encouragement and help that bountiful nature can shower upon man. It holds possibilities which are locked away from the conscious mind, for it has at its disposal all subliminal psychic contents, all those things which have been forgotten or overlooked, as well as the wisdom and experience of uncounted centuries which are laid down in its archetypal organs." (Two Essays on Analytical Psychology, The Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Vol. 7)

      'Pure Reason' is the Expression of the Enlightenment that the mind gets when it gets aligned to the System of God/Life. Though this is available to every mind by virtue of its relationship with the System it does not realize it when it gets entangled with the parochial systems that human societies consider necessary for their identity and survival. C.G. Jung says: "We should never identify ourselves with reason, for man is not and never will be a creature of reason alone, a fact to be noted by all pedantic culture-mongers." (Two Essays on Analytical Psychology,  The Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Vol. 7)
