Spiritual Awakening - What Spiritual Awakening Seems Like as well as the Journey Om

What is Spiritual Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening is the awareness that you are Totally Human as well as Fully Spiritual.

Spiritual Awakening is your daily experience seen correctly, which is why it is called an awakening.

Hi as well as welcome to this video on Spiritual Awakening. I'm James Traverse.

Real nature of your being is not within the realm of knowledge as that which is known or that which can be recognized with something like book-learning, and also yet it is not unknowable.

Because the true nature of your being is not within the world of knowledge, it can not be externalized and also discussed, and yet we can mention objects as well as appearances in a particular means, such that they are seen in a new light.

As an example: We can mention real nature of your remaining in the same way that we speak of Love, as Love, like your real nature, is not something that can be externalized within the world of knowledge, as well as yet we know using experience that Love is not unknowable. And we additionally recognize that it is the nature of Love to Love as it is what it does.

Now what I simply stated is extremely essential; so, let me claim it once more in a somewhat different means ...

Exactly how is Love known? It is the nature of Love to Love. Thus, Love is recognized using what it does, exactly how it shows up. In this way, just how it shows up is how Love is objectified and thereby just how it is recognized.

An additional fantastic pointer is just how we understand what is called energy. Just How would certainly Albert Einstein react when we ask him, "What is Energy?" Because he was a pure scientist Einstein would certainly respond to, "We do not understand what power is; we recognize it via what it does." History reveals us that Einstein went even more by revealing that energy as well as issue belong, as he literally defined their connection through his famous equation E = mc2

Today we understand that when we plant an acorn in productive ground that after some years there will be an oak tree at that place. In this situation we recognize that what unravels is that the info in the acorn's DNA orders the elemental powers of Fire, as warm and also light from our sun, Air, as carbon dioxide and various other gasses in our ambience, Water, as rainfall as well as ground water, and also Planet, as the elements in the dirt, to emerge as an oak tree, which this kind appears precede. We likewise understand that we can reverse this process by setting fire to the oak tree such that the elements that are in this particular formation are launched.

The masters of lots of old wisdom traditions, like ones from India, China, Greece, and also others aid us understand just how the vibrational nature of essential elements appear in objective form. For example: when you see an iceberg mixed-up on a partly over cast day, what is seen is water in distinctive levels of resonance as: the ionosphere, which is the ionized part of Planet's upper atmosphere, is what researchers call the Plasma Kind of Issue-- this is the Fire Aspect; the clouds, which are water vapour, are what scientists call the Gas Form of Matter-- this is the Air Component; the water of the ocean is what scientists call the Liquid Type of Matter-- this is the Water Component; and the ice is what scientists call the Strong Form of Matter - this is the Planet Element. As well as we know that we can cause the modification from one form of issue to the other by adding or eliminating energy as heat.

In a similar light we see that ancient sages took the strategy of speaking of exactly how the true nature of your being shows up, as opposed to trying to define it. Thus, they showed exactly how it appears as what it does. And, the most precise description of just how truth nature of your being appears is the Om Icon as detailed in the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Mandukya Upanishad is the fastest Upanishad as well as its content is pure wisdom. The word Mandukya suggests frog, and also it represents a kind-of dive from one state of consciousness to one more.

The Om Symbol is composed of a history as well as four modern degrees of manifestation [objectification] as well as a crescent that represents the veiling power of super-imposition as adheres to:

The blankness of the history of the Om Icon is stood for right here by blackness. This signifies that Your Real Nature Itself can not be externalized. The remainder of the symbol represents that which can be externalized as well as therefore how you are recognized.

The first appearance is a dot, called Turiya in Sanskrit, which suggests the Fourth about the various other 3 more thick states of awareness [although it is called the 4th relative to the others, it is genuinely the first] The dot is a point in space that has place yet no measurement. This is the 'I am', or a lot more properly, just 'Am' as the understanding quality that you exist.

The next type that appears is a crescent, which is called Maya in Sanskrit and also it represents super-imposition as the shroud of splitting up. This super-imposition solidifies through the densest degree of symptom, and also as will be shown later on, it is the factor behind the mistaken final thought that you are separate.

The next degree of density is the top wave, which stands for Deep Sleep, or Sushupti in Sanskrit. At this degree there is being, yet still no measurement as Deep Rest is experienced as a blankness. This is the Causal Degree of being, as although it is experienced as a blankness, the seed of your existing symptom, which includes the incorrect verdict of splitting up, exists such that you remember what you look like on waking.

Dream Awareness is the following level of thickness, called Swapna in Sanskrit. This is stood for as a whirlpool or a wave curving back on itself such that there is a localized type. This is experienced as a Daydreamer and a Daydreamer's world. This is the Subtle Level of Awareness as kind below is purely psychological and it likewise includes the mistaken final thought of splitting up.

Ultimately, there is the densest degree of manifestation, which is Waking Consciousness, called Jagrat in Sanskrit. This is stood for by the bottom and also largest wave of the form. This is experienced as a Waker as well as a Waker's World. This is one of the most usual state of awareness and it is the Gross Level of Awareness. It appears a physique, mind as well as globe precede as well as Time.

It remains in the state of Waking Consciousness that the mind as Maya most completely super-imposes the suggestion of splitting up such that recognition with a localized type flowers as the mistaken understanding of that you are. This way the ideas of 'me' and also 'not me' totally solidify at this level, and also the experience of recognition as a restricted local kind is strongly sustained, as it is the basic belief of the majority of human beings.

So, that or what is your real nature?

Your real nature can not be externalized, yet you can recognize on your own through what you do, just how you appear.

This is what Krishnamurti meant when he stated, "The Onlooker is the Observed."

You are Fully Human; this is confirmed by your everyday experience as adheres to:

There is the experience of that which can not be objectified. You might call it Emptiness, Sunyata, Love, Pure Consciousness, Recognition, God, or any kind of variety of other names for the nameless.

The one thing that you can understand without a doubt is that you exist-- that is Turiya, the recognizing top quality of being.

Each day you rest and within rest there is Deep Rest and the experience of Blankness, within sleep you likewise fantasize as the Dreamer as well as the Daydreamer's World and also you experience Waking Consciousness as the Waker as well as the Waker's World.

Waking Awareness is one of the most solidified type of Awareness. This is the state of consciousness that is experienced at the very least two-thirds of the moment. For many people this experience is distorted by the super-imposition of the mind's mistaken final thought that he or she is a local kind that is separate from other people as well as things.

While it is true that the Waking State appears as a local Waker that is different from the Waker's World, it is not true that real nature of your being is limited to the Waking State of Awareness. This is absolutely clear when you see the simple reality that you experience various other states of consciousness daily, and that the experience of these distinct states of awareness is proof that you are concurrently Totally Human and also Fully Spiritual.

The Spiritual facet of your being can not be externalized as specified previously, yet it is not unknowable as well as it is understood when you see that what you are is unknown, or vacuum, sharing Itself as all that which is objectified as well as consequently knowable. And also this is also confirmed using your everyday experience.

For example: When you smell a rose you do not say, 'My nose detects the fragrance of the rose' as there is simply the experience of the rose's scent. After the reality you may super-impose the concept of a nose that senses it, because when your eyes are open, you see the rose as a form that is separate from you, yet when you close your eyes, there is just the experience of smelling as the fragrance of the rose.

In a similar way, on listening to an attractive opus or listening to a remarkable singer you do not claim, 'My ears hear the songs or the vocalist' as there is only hearing at this moment. Once more, when your eyes are open you might incorrectly conclude that the artists as well as singer are different from you, yet when you shut your eyes there is only hearing. Once this is clear and also you then open your eyes once again, all there is, is seeing.

In these instances you likewise see that the suggestion of some different kind noticing by means of a particular feeling door is included in the experience by the super-imposing task of the mind as it defines the experience.

Ancient sages have mentioned real nature of your being in Mahavakyas, which means Fantastic Statements. There are four Terrific Statements in ancient Sanskrit texts, and also the one that I feel best fits with what I have actually shared thus far shows up in the Chandogya Upanishad as, 'Tat Tvam Asi', which indicates: That Thou Art. In Krishnamurti's words this is the reality that, 'The Observer is the Observed' or just you are that which is appearing now.

In summary, your True Nature Itself can not be objectified, yet like Love, Power and Om it is not unknowable. Like Love, Energy and Om, it is your nature to share yourself as what you do. What you do, exactly how you show up, is the objectification of your true nature in degrees of thickness and also most well as a body, mind and also globe precede as well as Time, and also this is the means where you Know Yourself as concurrently Totally Human as well as Completely Spiritual.

In this light, for you Spiritual Awakening's solution to the inquiry, 'Who am I?' is,

I am understood by means of exactly how my true nature shows up! I am simultaneously Totally Human and also Completely Spiritual. My Human Form is short-term; my Spiritual Being is unlimited.

In Biblical terms this specified as, 'I AM THAT I AM'.
