Spiritual Awakening - What Spiritual Awakening Seems Like and also the Journey Om

What is Spiritual Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening is the awareness that you are Fully Human and also Completely Spiritual.

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

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

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

Considering that real nature of your being is not within the world of knowledge, it can not be objectified as well as mentioned, and also yet we can mention things as well as looks in a specific means, such that they are seen in a new light.

For instance: We can mention the true nature of your being in the same way that we speak of Love, as Love, like your true nature, is not something that can be externalized within the realm of expertise, and yet we know via experience that Love is not unknowable. And also we also understand that it is the nature of Love to Love as it is what it does.

Now what I just claimed is exceptionally essential; so, let me state it once again in a slightly various way ...

Just how is Love recognized? It is the nature of Love to Love. Thus, Love is recognized through what it does, how it shows up. In this way, how it appears is how Love is externalized and also thus just how it is understood.

One more excellent guideline is exactly how we recognize what is called energy. Exactly How would Albert Einstein react when we ask him, "What is Energy?" Because he was a pure scientist Einstein would certainly address, "We do not understand what energy is; we understand it via what it does." History shows us that Einstein went also further by revealing that power and also matter are related, as he literally specified their partnership using his well-known formula E = mc2

Today we understand that when we grow an acorn in abundant ground that after some years there will be an oak tree at that location. In this situation we comprehend that what unravels is that the info in the acorn's DNA orders the elemental powers of Fire, as warm and light from our sun, Air, as carbon dioxide and also other gasses in our environment, Water, as rain and ground water, and Planet, as the elements in the dirt, to materialize as an oak tree, which this form appears precede. We additionally understand that we can reverse this process by setting fire to the oak tree such that the elements that are in this specific development are launched.

The masters of several old wisdom practices, like ones from India, China, Greece, and also others assist us comprehend just how the vibrational nature of essential elements appear in unbiased kind. For example: when you see an iceberg mixed-up on a partly cloudy day, what is seen is water in distinctive degrees of vibration 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 Form of Matter-- this is the Air Component; the water of the sea is what scientists call the Liquid Form of Issue-- this is the Water Element; and the ice is what scientists call the Strong Type of Matter - this is the Planet Component. And we understand that we can trigger the modification from one type of matter to the various other by adding or getting rid of energy as warm.

In a comparable light we see that old sages took the approach of speaking of how real nature of your being appears, instead of trying to specify it. Thus, they illustrated just how it appears as what it does. As well as, one of the most accurate description of how real nature of your being shows up is the Om Symbol as illustrated in the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest Upanishad and its content is pure wisdom. Words Mandukya indicates frog, as well as it stands for a kind-of jump from one state of consciousness to another.

The Om Icon is made up of a history as well as four modern levels of manifestation [objectification] and a crescent that represents the veiling power of super-imposition as adheres to:

The blankness of the history of the Om Sign is stood for below by blackness. This symbolizes that Your Real Nature Itself can not be objectified. The remainder of the icon represents that which can be objectified and also thus just how you are understood.

The first appearance is a dot, called Turiya in Sanskrit, which means the 4th about the other 3 even more thick states of awareness [although it is called the 4th relative to the others, it is truly the very first] The dot is a factor precede that has location yet no measurement. This is the 'I am', or more accurately, just 'Am' as the understanding high quality that you exist.

The following form that shows up is a crescent, which is called Maya in Sanskrit as well as it represents super-imposition as the veil of separation. This super-imposition solidifies through the densest degree of manifestation, and also as will be revealed later, it is the factor behind the incorrect final thought that you are separate.

The next level of thickness is the top wave, which represents Deep Rest, or Sushupti in Sanskrit. At this degree there is being, yet still no measurement as Deep Sleep 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 indication, that includes the incorrect final thought of separation, is present such that you remember what you appear as on waking.

Fantasize Consciousness is the next degree of thickness, called Swapna in Sanskrit. This is represented as a whirlpool or a wave curving back on itself such that there is a local type. This is experienced as a Daydreamer and a Dreamer's globe. This is the Refined Level of Awareness as form right here is simply psychological and it likewise consists of the mistaken conclusion of splitting up.

Lastly, there is the densest level of symptom, which is Waking Consciousness, called Jagrat in Sanskrit. This is stood for by the bottom and largest wave of the type. This is experienced as a Waker and also a Waker's Globe. This is one of the most usual state of awareness as well as it is the Gross Level of Consciousness. It appears a physical body, mind and also globe in Space as well as Time.

It is in the state of Waking Awareness that the mind as Maya most thoroughly super-imposes the idea of splitting up such that recognition with a local kind flowers as the incorrect understanding of that you are. In this way the ideas of 'me' and 'not me' totally solidify at this degree, as well as the experience of identification as a limited local form is strongly supported, as it is the fundamental idea of a lot of human beings.

So, that or what is your true nature?

Your real nature can not be objectified, yet you can recognize yourself by means of what you do, how you appear.

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

You are Totally Human; this is validated by your daily experience as follows:

There is the experience of that which can not be objectified. You might call it Emptiness, Sunyata, Love, Pure Awareness, Awareness, God, or any type of number of various other names for the nameless.

The something that you can understand without a doubt is that you exist-- that is Turiya, the knowing top quality of being.

Every Day you sleep and within rest there is Deep Rest and the experience of Blankness, within sleep you also dream as the Dreamer and also the Dreamer's World as well as you experience Waking Awareness as the Waker and the Waker's Globe.

Waking Awareness is the most solidified form of Consciousness. This is the state of consciousness that is experienced a minimum of two-thirds of the moment. For most people this experience is distorted by the super-imposition of the mind's mistaken final thought that he or she is a localized kind that is separate from other individuals and also points.

While it holds 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 restricted to the Waking State of Consciousness. This is unquestionably clear when you see the simple truth that you experience other states of consciousness every day, and that the experience of these distinctive states of consciousness is proof that you are at the same time Completely Human as well as Fully Spiritual.

The Spiritual element of your being can not be objectified as stated earlier, yet it is not unknowable and also it is understood when you see that what you are is unidentified, or emptiness, expressing Itself as all that which is externalized and also therefore knowable. And also this is additionally validated through your everyday experience.

For instance: When you scent a rose you do not state, 'My nose detects the aroma of the rose' as there is just the experience of the rose's aroma. After the fact you might super-impose the concept of a nose that senses it, because when your eyes are open, you see the rose as a kind that is different from you, yet when you close your eyes, there is only the experience of smelling as the scent of the rose.

Likewise, on hearing a beautiful opus or listening to an amazing singer you do not say, 'My ears listen to the songs or the singer' as there is only listening to at this moment. Once again, when your eyes are open you may falsely end that the musicians and also singer are separate from you, yet when you shut your eyes there is just hearing. Once this is clear and also you then open your eyes again, all there is, is seeing.

In these examples you also see that the idea of some separate form picking up by means of a specific feeling door is added to the experience by the super-imposing activity of the mind as it defines the experience.

Old sages have actually mentioned truth nature of your being in Mahavakyas, which indicates Excellent Declarations. There are four Terrific Statements in old Sanskrit messages, and also the one that I really feel best fits with what I have actually shared thus far shows up in the Chandogya Upanishad as, 'Tat Tvam Asi', which means: That Thou Art. In Krishnamurti's words this is the fact that, 'The Onlooker is the Observed' or merely you are that which is showing up currently.

In summary, your Real Nature Itself can not be externalized, yet like Love, Power and also Om it is not unknowable. Like Love, Energy and also Om, it is your nature to share yourself as what you do. What you do, just how you appear, is the objectification of your real nature in degrees of density and also most well as a body, mind as well as world in Space and Time, and this is the methods wherein you Know Yourself as concurrently Totally Human as well as Fully Spiritual.

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

I am recognized via how my real nature appears! I am concurrently Completely Human and also Totally Spiritual. My Human Type is temporary; my Spiritual Being is endless.

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