“THROUGH VARIOUS STAGES, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING DEEPENS.”
Spiritual awakening is closely related to emotional maturity (healing), and moreover, the more awareness is born through self-observation and self-inquiry in the innermost stillness, the more one surrenders the “personal self” and approaches the truth as the impersonal Self.
This also means deepening one’s comprehension of “impermanence,” “mind (ego) and existence,” “God’s love, that is, ultimate love”, and so on.
At that time, one no longer comes to seek happiness, joy or a fulfilling life outward.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
To get reaching this point, we wander in search of “the only truth,” believe in certain spiritual teachings or sage, however, eventually reach a stage of realizing “something” through disappointment.
What is this “something”?
It is realizing “ourselves.”
It is the moment when we finally begin to become aware of our own reality as they are, for example, we suddenly become aware of ourselves that we ourselves are attached to the idea that if we only do what is “the only truth”, there will be no suffering or sorrow in the world.
However, such the awareness can only be achieved through self-observation or self-inquiry without any judgment.
In other words, it is only possible to do this by finally surrendering the mind (ego), such as the unconscious excessive pride (overconfidence in the mind (ego)), which tries to change others or the world that cannot be changed, by the intentions or efforts of the mind (ego), through acknowleging its self-righteousness, dogmatism, or powerlessness, and only then can we come to observe ourselves as we are.
As a matter of fact, the mind (ego) can never reach the truth by thinking.
This is because thoughts and the mind (ego) itself are nothing but illusions.
How can the illusion itself realize that it is an illusion?
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
The moment we realize this “awareness” which becomes aware of ourselves, we are startled as if we have come to the inherent senses.
This is, as a matter of fact, the moment when we “return to The Self”.
And this is truly a huge step in spiritual awakening.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Every experience should be used to gain a deeper comprehension, that is, to deepen spiritual awakening, which is the highest priority of life.
In fact, there is nothing in the world that can make you sad or suffer.
On the contrary, the world (reality) is always only a manifestation of your own inner self, and moreover, such sadness or suffering are indispensable to break the blind belief (identification) that the mind (ego) and body are you.
Looking at it from another angle, the mind (ego, identification with illusions) is the most powerful resistance to spiritual awakening for the mind (ego), and at the same time, paradoxically, it is the tool that plays the most spiritually sublime role for The Self.
In fact, the mind (ego) is the illusion we can learn the most for the pathless path to The Self (God).
The truth is always paradoxical to the familiar world of the mind (ego) in every way.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Every being has its own optimal timing, and respecting that timing for others is synonymous with respecting one’s own spiritual awakening, letting go of all resistance and surrendering all outcomes (future) to the unknown with faith.
In this way, the more one goes inward, the deeper one’s spiritual awakening becomes, and the more one goes outward, the more suffering one creates.
This is exactly the same even after undergoing a major transformation through the transcendence of duality.
Because no matter how deeply one deepens one’s spiritual awakening, it never means that the mind (ego) is vanished.
However, the more one spontaneously comes to not take the voice of the mind (ego) as true, the deeper one’s comprehension of the truth contrarily becomes, and because a fundamental transformation occurs, this leads to inclease the more unintentional detachment from the mind (ego), and the power of the mind’s (ego’s) illusions comes to smaller and smaller.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Everything is inevitable, and ultimately, everything is indispensable.
And everything is ultimately a blessing. (OM 🙏)
