Spiritual Awakening - What Spiritual Awakening Feels Like and the Trip Om

What is Spiritual Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening is the realization that you are Completely Human as well as Fully Spiritual.

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

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

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

Since truth nature of your being is not within the realm of expertise, it can not be externalized as well as mentioned, as well as yet we can mention things and appearances in a particular means, such that they are seen in a new light.

For Example: We can mention the true nature of your remaining in the same way that we mention Love, as Love, like your true nature, is not something that can be externalized within the world of knowledge, and also yet we know through experience that Love is not unknowable. And we likewise know that it is the nature of Love to Love as it is what it does.

Currently what I just said is extremely crucial; so, let me say it once again in a somewhat different means ...

How is Love understood? It is the nature of Love to Love. Thus, Love is known using what it does, how it appears. This way, how it appears is how Love is externalized and also therefore how it is known.

One more excellent tip is just how we recognize what is called energy. Exactly How would certainly Albert Einstein react when we ask him, "What is Power?" Given that he was a pure scientist Einstein would address, "We don't recognize what energy is; we understand it through what it does." Background reveals us that Einstein went even further by showing that energy and issue belong, as he literally specified their connection by means of his well-known equation E = mc2

Today we know that when we grow an acorn in fertile ground that after some years there will be an oak tree at that area. In this instance we recognize that what unfolds is that the info in the acorn's DNA orders the essential energies of Fire, as warm as well as light from our sunlight, Air, as co2 and also various other gasses in our atmosphere, Water, as rain and ground water, and Planet, as the aspects in the soil, to emerge as an oak tree, which this type appears precede. We additionally recognize that we can reverse this procedure by setting fire to the oak tree such that the components that remain in this specific development are released.

The masters of many ancient wisdom customs, like ones from India, China, Greece, and others help us recognize just how the vibrational nature of essential elements appear in unbiased form. For example: when you see an iceberg at sea on a partially gloomy day, what is seen is water in unique levels of resonance as: the ionosphere, which is the ionized part of Earth's upper atmosphere, is what researchers call the Plasma Type of Issue-- this is the Fire Component; the clouds, which are water vapour, are what scientists call the Gas Kind of Issue-- this is the Air Aspect; the water of the ocean is what researchers call the Liquid Form of Issue-- this is the Water Component; and also the ice is what researchers call the Solid Kind of Issue - this is the Earth Component. And we know that we can create the modification from one form of issue to the other by adding or getting rid of power as warmth.

In a similar light we see that ancient sages took the approach of speaking of exactly how real nature of your being appears, instead of attempting to define it. Hence, they showed how it appears as what it does. As well as, the most precise summary of exactly how truth nature of your being appears is the Om Sign as illustrated in the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest Upanishad and its material is pure wisdom. The word Mandukya means frog, as well as it stands for a kind-of dive from one state of awareness to an additional.

The Om Sign is composed of a history and four dynamic levels of manifestation [objectification] and also a crescent that represents the veiling power of super-imposition as follows:

The blankness of the background of the Om Icon is represented below by blackness. This signifies that Your Real Nature Itself can not be externalized. The remainder of the icon represents that which can be externalized as well as consequently how you are understood.

The opening night is a dot, called Turiya in Sanskrit, which means the 4th relative to the other 3 even more dense states of awareness [although it is called the fourth relative to the others, it is really the very first] The dot is a factor precede that has area yet no dimension. This is the 'I am', or a lot more properly, simply 'Am' as the recognizing high quality that you exist.

The following kind that shows up is a crescent, which is called Maya in Sanskrit and also it stands for super-imposition as the shroud of separation. This super-imposition solidifies by means of the densest level of indication, and as will certainly be shown later on, it is the reason behind the incorrect final thought that you are different.

The next degree of density is the top wave, which represents Deep Rest, or Sushupti in Sanskrit. At this degree there is being, yet still no dimension 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 manifestation, that includes the incorrect final thought of separation, is present such that you remember what you look like on waking.

Fantasize Consciousness is the next 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 local kind. This is experienced as a Daydreamer and a Daydreamer's globe. This is the Subtle Level of Awareness as type right here is purely psychological and it additionally consists of the mistaken verdict of separation.

Finally, there is the densest level of manifestation, which is Waking Consciousness, called Jagrat in Sanskrit. This is stood for by the base as well as biggest wave of the kind. This is experienced as a Waker and a Waker's World. This is the most typical state of consciousness and also it is the Gross Degree of Consciousness. It shows up a physical body, mind as well as world precede as well as Time.

It is in the state of Waking Consciousness that the mind as Maya most completely super-imposes the idea of separation such that identification with a local kind flowers as the mistaken understanding of who you are. In this way the ideas of 'me' and also 'not me' totally solidify at this degree, as well as the experience of recognition as a restricted local form is highly supported, as it is the fundamental idea of a lot of humans.

So, that or what is your real nature?

Your real nature can not be objectified, yet you can understand on your own by means of what you do, just how you show up.

This is what Krishnamurti implied when he said, "The Onlooker is the Observed."

You are Completely Human; this is confirmed by your daily experience as follows:

There is the experience of that which can not be externalized. You might call it Vacuum, Sunyata, Love, Pure Awareness, Awareness, God, or any kind of variety of various other names for the nameless.

The one point that you can know without a doubt is that you exist-- that is Turiya, the understanding top quality of being.

Everyday you rest as well as within sleep there is Deep Rest as well as the experience of Blankness, within sleep you additionally dream as the Dreamer as well as the Daydreamer's Globe and also you experience Waking Consciousness as the Waker and the Waker's World.

Waking Awareness is the most solidified kind of Consciousness. This is the state of awareness that is experienced at least two-thirds of the time. For the majority of people this experience is misshaped by the super-imposition of the mind's mistaken verdict that she or he is a localized type that is different from other individuals and also points.

While it is true that the Waking State appears as a local Waker that is separate from the Waker's Globe, it is not real that real nature of your being is restricted to the Waking State of Awareness. This is unquestionably clear when you see the straightforward reality that you experience various other states of awareness daily, and that the experience of these distinctive states of consciousness is proof that you are simultaneously Totally Human and also Totally Spiritual.

The Spiritual aspect of your being can not be objectified as mentioned earlier, yet it is not unknowable and also it is recognized when you see that what you are is unidentified, or emptiness, expressing Itself as all that which is externalized and consequently knowable. And this is also validated via your everyday experience.

As an example: When you smell a rose you do not state, 'My nose senses the fragrance of the rose' as there is just the experience of the rose's aroma. After the truth you may super-impose the idea of a nose that senses it, since when your eyes are open, you see the rose as a kind that is separate from you, yet when you close your eyes, there is just the experience of scenting as the fragrance of the rose.

In a similar way, on listening to an attractive piece of music or hearing an amazing singer you do not say, 'My ears listen to the songs or the singer' as there is just listening to at this moment. Once again, when your eyes are open you may wrongly end that the musicians as well as vocalist are separate from you, yet when you close your eyes there is only hearing. When this is clear and you then open your eyes once again, all there is, is seeing.

In these examples you also see that the suggestion of some different form noticing using a certain sense door is included in the experience by the super-imposing activity of the mind as it defines the experience.

Old sages have specified real nature of your being in Mahavakyas, which means Excellent Statements. There are four Terrific Declarations in old Sanskrit texts, and the one that I feel best fits with what I have actually shared so far appears in the Chandogya Upanishad as, 'Tat Tvam Asi', which suggests: That Thou Art. In Krishnamurti's words this is the truth that, 'The Observer is the Observed' or just you are that which is showing up currently.

In summary, your Real Nature Itself can not be externalized, yet like Love, Energy and also Om it is not unknowable. Like Love, Energy and Om, it is your nature to express yourself as what you do. What you do, how you show up, is the objectification of your true nature in degrees of thickness as well as most solidly as a body, mind as well as world in Space and Time, as well as this is the ways wherein you Know Yourself as at the same time Completely Human and Fully Spiritual.

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

I am known through exactly how my true nature appears! I am at the same time Fully Human as well as Fully Spiritual. My Human Type is momentary; my Spiritual Being is unlimited.

In Scriptural terms this mentioned as, 'I AM THAT I AM'.
