# Actual Freedom ~ Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions ## How did you Become Enlightened?
| Richard, I’ve been following this discussion with interest and have a couple of questions for you: Which of the 3 ways did you use to achieve spiritual enlightenment in 1981? If people can use any of these three techniques, and I’m thinking in particular of the 3rd via raising of the kundalini, doesn’t this verify part of the spiritual theory?
| Does anybody else describe ‘Enlightenment’ as a turning over in the brain stem? If that is the case, is it possible that your experience of it and other’s experience can be of different quality, though described with similar words?
| Richard, you wrote [quote] ‘Becoming free of the human condition is a physiological occurrence, centred at the nape of the neck (the top of the brain-stem/ base of the brain), wherein the ‘lizard-brain’ mutates out of its primeval state ... but if this mutation is not allowed its completion one becomes enlightened’ [endquote]. What do you mean by [quote] ‘but if this mutation is not allowed its completion one becomes enlightened’ [endquote]. Is it physically not possible for some for this mutation to be allowed completion?

| My experience is that almost 100% of awakened people went thru the agency of some teacher or guru, that this is not the sort of thing that can be self-taught. Did you do that?
| There is such a thing as enlightenment, but not all enlightenment philosophies work. Maybe a different teacher would suit you better.
