Spiritual awakening is the realization that this life that we believe is so real and so unchanging is but a dream. It is the realization that one is not one's body, nor mind, nor circumstances. It is the realization of what has always been here, and what has never left. It is a great mystery, beyond description...there is no proof for it, no sign or pathway to it....it is found only right here, right now.
I may stick out my finger and say there it is, but I will fail....
You may have an experience and say here it is, but you'll lose it....
Spiritual awakening is a moment to moment recognition of the impermanence of all things, the transitory nature of oneself, and the ever present aliveness in the Heart of all beings.
Spiritual awakening is a great paradox, because it happens--and yet it is Here all along. It must be fought for, strived for....but it is already naturally one's own nature.
Waking up is not about living as any other human being has lived, not Buddha, not Christ. It is about living as you, just ordinary, simple you.
It is the discovery of the untouched, incorruptible nature of your Self, and the death of everything that you have believed you were. It is the death of a past and death of a future.
It is you, It is Here, Now.
What else could you want?
