To Be Enlightened

To Be Enlightened is a cosmic love story that follows Professor of Philosophy Abe Levy as he grapples with what it means to love both his wife Sarah and the ocean of silence within. It is also an intellectual exploration of the most intimate of subjects: our consciousness. Abe Levys long tenure as a philosophy professor has motivated thousands of students to ponder age-old questions in light of New Age ideas. Though Abe is passionate about his teaching he is obsessed with a powerful childhood dream of heaven. To return to that heaven he must reach enlightenment in his lifetime. Day after day Abe settles into deep meditation reaching the very cusp of his goal but unable to cross the threshold. Desperately he commits to doing whatever it takes even if it means abandoning his wife for a more ascetic life-a decision that sets off a cascade of consequences for Abe Sarah and those he loves the most.
