Human beings are cable of achieving a “state” of higher intelligence; an ability to “tap” into a reservoir of intuition, or abundant energy. Without a single trace of doubt. There are many provisional explanations for this, but none would do real justice as the actual experience.
Imagine you are looking at the world through a peep hole and then suddenly you slip through the hole; as you awaken to a greater reality.
We live our lives consumed in our idea of the self and apparent reality. We dwell on our personal drama and struggle for security and pleasure. Life lead by the ego. It is possible to crack this shell of ego and get a glimpse of what lies beyond the self obsessed mind.
Such experiences are wide and growing in this time. The nature of these experiences form the basis of great philosophies, techniques, styles. Just the first glimpse, a peek is enough to provide the inspiration, the curiosity, the burning desire to further pursuit.
“Life is an opportunity to set the stage for this shift of awareness to occur. This shift of awareness is something that happens to you. It can be understood simply as a reward for doing your spiritual practice sincerely. This is echoed by great spiritual masters throughout history.” Manore. K.
You cannot force or create this state in any way. You can only help set the stage to facilitate the occurrence. You can think of it like the experience of sleep. You can prepare the bed, down the lights, set the mood but sleep in it self, comes on its own accord. Enjoy the process.
Spiritual practices, meditation, yoga are tools for preparing the stage for the natural spirit to blossom.
This begs the question that if we are indeed something greater than that we experience, then what is the barrier?
It is said in the spiritual circles that we are the knower of all, the formless and changeless. We are removed from this state due to our ignorance. The process of removing this ignorance requires spiritual practices.
Example I am alive. This is only expression of truth. Cause when I keep inquiring into my idea of “I”, doubt starts to creep in.
When the veil of ignorance is dropped, you come to experience the truth. No questions, no doubts, no dialogue. Only the experience.
This state of experiencing truth is also known as Self Realization, enlightenment, awareness, consciousness. Many names, many paths .
Do not get lost in the dialogue of definitions, leading to debates led by the intellect. When experienced.. there is only one.. the experience! No dialogue.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD
