The Awak­en­ing

Three moments mark the first steps in your journey:

I am…I am, That… I am That I am.

This is one of the most pro­found gifts (and tests) of being and becom­ing human, the gift of Self-Awareness.

This sto­ry is found in many teach­ings, cul­tures and ages. That long ago there walked among us “the gods”, who brought to us who were not yet human, (we were “mind­less”, we were the inno­cent but mind­less humans of that time), and they offered this most pre­cious gift of self-aware­ness. It was their great hon­or and duty to do this. Because in a pre­vi­ous cos­mic cycle, these Angels of the Light had sim­i­lar­ly been awak­ened by those who came before them. This self-lumi­nous torch, this spir­i­tu­al fire of under­stand­ing, has been passed down like this through the ages. It is in truth the Rib­bon of Light and Love that forms the warp and weave of our Uni­verse. All of Cre­ation is Spir­it-Life; for every­thing is Liv­ing and Con­scious, and the whole Uni­verse is on this Spir­i­tu­al Jour­ney of Awakening.

These Devas or Shin­ing Ones were duty bound to pass on this light to us, (and to become part­ly one with us too). Their names are found in many cul­tures, in the tales of Prometheus, Lucifer, Loki and Quet­zal­coatl and many, many oth­ers. In the most ancient of record­ings, found in what is known as the Ancient Teach­ings there is the sto­ry of the Kumaras, beings of a much more advanced state than we, who came at the appoint­ed time, when the Human­i­ty of that peri­od was ready for the next step for­ward in Con­scious­ness, and they walked among us, joined with us and we took the next great step in our journey…and we became self-aware.

This step was tak­en long ago, dur­ing an “Age of Gem­i­ni”, yet it is also a series of steps that you will take in each of your lives, and through many years in any one of your lives. For the jour­ney of Self-Aware­ness is won­drous and hard, it requires patience and quick­ness, adapt­abil­i­ty and per­sis­tence, it is the mind seek­ing to know, to know itself and all that is around it too. This is your jour­ney to the gods, it is your jour­ney to lift your­self out of the shad­ows, out of the dark­ness, igno­rance and fear…it is your jour­ney into The Light.

Each and every day, you are here to lift up your aware­ness of your­self and your world. You are here to learn to be a bet­ter human. You are here quite sim­ply to dis­cern and so under­stand what is the less­er and what is greater; you are here to learn from your expe­ri­ence in this realm gov­erned by “cause and effect”. You are on a nev­er-end­ing inspi­ra­tional jour­ney in which you lift your­self up by tri­al and error as you leave behind your igno­rance and come to know and to live what is good, and true and beautiful.

You are always guid­ed by your high­er self; it is the light of love shin­ing with­in you. This greater one with­in you lov­ing­ly inspires you onward and upward in life after life. Your jour­ney, this “Walk in Beau­ty”, is forged in the mul­ti­ple expe­ri­ences you share with those with whom you trav­el, as you and your fel­low seek­ers help one anoth­er to see and to know what is the “Good”. But tru­ly, your path to awak­en­ing is found­ed in your Love for one anoth­er, for this is “The Way”. This is the one true path that will bring you and all of human­i­ty to our destiny.

For this is the way of truth, that you will most won­der­ful­ly and nec­es­sar­i­ly help one anoth­er; you will be the very means to awak­en one anoth­er. In fact, you could not do it at all were it not for your expe­ri­ences with one anoth­er. The Truth behind your Awak­en­ing is this, you are to be for one anoth­er the quick­en­ing of your inner Light. You will illu­mi­nate one another’s minds as you exchange your thoughts, sen­ti­ments and feel­ings for one anoth­er. It is by the life you live in the day to day, it is by all these com­par­isons, con­trasts, debates and dis­cus­sions with one anoth­er, it is by telling your sto­ries to one anoth­er, that you elim­i­nate the shad­ows and step more firm­ly into the Light. You are for one anoth­er the liv­ing means by which you let go of mis­un­der­stand­ing and fear and more assured­ly walk the path of Truth and Love.

You can­not be human with­out the love and affec­tions you have shared with one anoth­er. In truth, your very thoughts are not “yours”; you can­not tru­ly own any thought. All these notions, inti­ma­tions, ideas and truths that have been passed between you and many oth­ers in your life, between par­ent and child, between broth­er and sis­ter, with friends and loved ones too, all of these are part of you and part of them. You are all mixed up with one anoth­er; your mind is made by all these with whom you have been with now and long before too.

Yes, you must also under­stand that you are indebt­ed to the count­less lives of those who have come before you too; the spir­i­tu­al her­itage of Human­i­ty, of Phi­los­o­phy, Reli­gion and Sci­ence is their gift to you. You walk a very ancient path of Light and Love, and you will nev­er walk it alone.

When­ev­er you fall into error, when­ev­er you divide your­self from your­self, when­ev­er you become iso­lat­ed or sep­a­rat­ed from one or many oth­ers, it is then that you will stum­ble and fall. But your path of awak­en­ing is clear. All you need do is to reach out once more to those who are there for you; and it is equal­ly true, that you need to be there for them too.

This is how you grow, this is how you learn to move away from igno­rance pain, dark­ness and fear; you learn what is true so that you can cre­ate what is better.

Choose to stay unit­ed, to not pull back in fear but to reach out with love to one another.

It is by this that you move towards the light that is all around you; and you will dis­cov­er that it is the same Light that is with­in you too.

You dis­cov­er and choose to fol­low the truth that is with­in you; and you under­stand that this same truth is behind the whole of Cre­ation too.

It is by this awak­en­ing that you stay upon the Path of Light.

And you will smile, and laugh, and turn to one another.

Because this is your Destiny.

You are here to live in under­stand­ing, beau­ty and love.

You are on the path of Awakening.

You are here; your des­tiny is your hands.

Be a light for one another,

Love one another.

Shine.
