“Afterwards”

“AFTERWARDS”

We, as the Consciousness itself, will no longer sleep as before, but inside us, the ego may still react to many things.

It is common to encounter such ego reactions after awakening and be surprised though, however, this fact just provides clearly that the mind has expected in specific way of awakening in advance.

What becomes necessary after awakening is to continue the practice as same as before. As we continue to observe as the Consciousness itself, we simply continue to accept any reactions as relating to the mind’s values or emotional ego, just as they are.
Without resisting everything that happens, just accepting what is and leave the rest to the Great Unknown just as same as before.

They are merely reactions of the ego, not the essence or existence itself, and so the Consciousness itself can never be categorized by that reactions. And of course, the Consciousness itself does not hate the reactions nor does it try to change about them.

Rather, the emphasis will be on savoring the ‘now’ moment more than ever before and enjoying even these reactions.

We, as the Consciousness itself, savor the various changes in these moments.

And therefore, the ‘now’ moment becomes precious, filled with fresh joy.

And so ego reactions, which may surface at first even after awakening, will eventually become internal only, and even then they will naturally become quiet.

This is the second stage of spiritual practice, the deepening of awakening.
