Awakening of soul

I think we as humans are at this point in creation are all in a state of awakening-I mean everybody. We are however in slightly different degrees of consciousness-some more aware, some a little. But , these are the times of change in every way on the planet. We all know it, we all feel it . As the Chinese proverb says-”When the student is ready, the teacher appears”. We are all ready on our ascent up to the spiritual worlds. Yes, there is more than one. It is not a sudden change, but a gradual process that started around  1989. The Mayans, Hopi Indians and many ancients and sacred writings speak of this. No-it is not the end, on the contrary-the beginning of an entire new life that is enfolding for the whole of humanity. A new paradigm has surfaced-the old is falling away. These are exciting times.

There definitely comes a time in one`s life when new horizons materialize- thus it is for me. There is a spiritual re-birth or rather awakening as one starts to see the light more clearly, and the reasons behind all that “is”. Every soul goes through this, be it an ancient soul, or a young one-the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom of many life times are now being utilized. We are all progressing up the ladder towards eternity, towards  the Creator-to be one with the light, one with God. Now is the moment for many of us as we take our initial steps into the “first” upper spiritual worlds. One`s material life, which was for numerous lifetimes just an exercise in existence only, like treading water, now suddenly seems like its being filled with a new energy. A tiny spark of “something”-which has suddenly caught fire in one`s soul. Its purpose and reason which in the past was deeply hidden, suddenly now seems to have a clear purpose and goal.

This is rather an interesting and frightening phenomena which occurs in us-as we actually see life in panorama- the whole picture. At a certain point in existence the soul gains a certain wisdom and recognizes the actual eternal “truth” . It is perhaps a recognition of contrasts, or maybe similarities within creation and how very much we are one part of a whole -all inter connected. Through shedding parts of the ego a special point in the heart awakens, which in the past was quite indiscernible-and all falls into place. This is really the last gasps of ego-that clings so very much to the material aspect of our being-and there is  a form of death to the idea of “individual separation”. 

Strange-in a blink of an eye, all can change. One could call it “the aha moment”. What was important is no longer is, what one didn`t understand suddenly makes sense, and our daily needs and wants are no longer the priorities. The world seems to be bathed in a different spiritual light to which we were blind to before-which one`s spirit now craves to feel and understand further.

Everything and everyone seems entirely different. The stress of life seems to be washed away and an all encompassing peace envelops one`s whole being. One feels like being in a state of grace filled with entire joy, bliss and happiness. There is a feeling that we are existing within the Creator-not apart but completely one with Him. There arises a deep feeling of connectedness and gratefulness towards all of creation- a feeling of total oneness all filled with light and radiance. There is total love for everything and everyone which seems to spring from a special place from the heart. John O`Donohue calls this feeling ”coming home”.

 I now have come to understand exactly what he was saying. It is said in many spiritual, sacred and esoteric writings that eventually all of humanity-all souls, will go through theses certain steps to reach the upper worlds, one just needs to see with spiritual eyes and hear the voice of the Creator-who is pure love.

Of religion...

Often people who are actually  open to God, are generally the one`s suspected of the most awful crime of hypocrisy. Many within the walls of the Vatican which in a sense is the most terrible thing one can say about  people who love God. Ones who profess to love Him beyond measure. Let me re-iterate-these are the folks who actually commit many crimes against God under cover. What hypocrisy.Why this thought? Because war is raging everywhere and the Pope does nothing.

I would certainly was born a Catholic-that is my religion, however, I am not that. My faith is "God", not believing, but actually "knowing within" without hesitation this truth is my true religion. Thus God under one or thousands or millions of names is God. So, my religion encompasses Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam as well as many other belief systems, including all the mythological beliefs. Who has the truth?  They all do. The sad part is that they all want to divide, not unite and in the name of love for God.

Rumi said it well:

I am  not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the east or the west, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story. My place is the placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being.

In my apartment I have images of many religions, not as idols but as reminders of God. I say  "I like to keep my bases covered"- all the major and minor ones. God -is- God -is- God--the Alpha and Omega, the Eternal, the Supreme Consciousness, the "ALL" that ever "IS' , "WAS" and "WILL EVER BE".

So what is my point? Apart from this "God" consciousness, well it is a sort of balancing of my mind relating to why I am actually here, or as to my mission which often is very clear, yet at time is a dark abyss which  makes me feel ever so awful  and inconsequential in the scheme of things. True, we are all in a sense rather unimportant, but maybe not. Why? Because each soul was created for a purpose for  God is a purposeful Creator and a reasonable one. However, mostly we do not see the forest from the trees or the trees from the forest it dosn`t mean that there is no divine plan. We are blessed with the nature and grace of God that is what is termed for me as  "His image and likeness". I think some religions confuse this, and take it quite literally.

 I know I seem to be rather confused at times--moment by moment. It is my humanity shining  through, my free will and my war with my ego--whom is a real tough cookie. And a bloody hard adversary at times, one is one`s worst enemy. 

Yes, this is a real problem, especially when I rather expect things- to happen , to be answered to be reciprocated  -which disappoint me greatly.  ......to be continued an an other venue, as I don`t want to get into boiling water.
