This is to certify that Robert Michael Slade has attained enlightenment. We use the word "attained," because fewer people understand what it means. Unlike the word reach "reached," which means that you have grasped something, or come to the end of a path or process, or the word obtained, which means that you have now possess it. So, we use the word attained, because people don't understand what it means, and therefore can't dispute it. I mean, let's be realistic. You don't even know what enlightenment means, do you? Go ahead. Try to define enlightenment. We'll wait.
Can't do it, can you?
This certificate is issued by the universe. Yes, that's right, the *universe.* The sum totality of all things. What, you think a certificate from some guru, or some organization of people who claim to be enlightened, can really certify enlightenment? Don't be ridiculous. Enlightenment is huge. So, you can't just have somebody, or a small group of somebodies, certify that you're enlightened. You've got to have the universe. Only the universe is big enough.
