Awaken

[greybeard]

Awaken from what?
Awaken to what?

That is the question.

Thoughts appreciated.

Awakening from one dream of self into a greater, or a more diffused, dream of self. I don't know that our dream can escape the reference point, unless we actually are asleep and dreaming, moving through the psyche manifested to the slumbering consciousness as people, places and things.

It shouldn't matter. For now waking up is enough. Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. Move. Move. Move. Love. Love. Love.
System change is guaranteed. Nothing can stop it now, nothing.

A shift... from being separate, to being connected

Some early wakers are light sleepers: they get to make the coffee. Others woke early out of a nightmare. They get a double ration of coffee. Some heavy sleepers might miss the coffee altogether, but they’ll be most refreshed and so they'll lead the cleaning up from the night before.

Awaken to being more than you could ever think you could be, be supreme

[betoobig]

Awaken to what we really are and have always been

[donk]

...from the lies we tell ourselves, to a reality that actually exists (outside our own minds)

If you live in the US, there's a lot to awaken from.

We are aware that most political candidates will not be elected if they don't belong to the two foremost political parties, but what people need to realize is both parties are completely owned by the same beast.

And there are still many in the US with Christian backgrounds that still need to wake up to the fact that we don't just get one life and then eternity afterwards is some reward or punishment for how well we screwed up that one life.

That's a good starter list.

[Ricker]

Awaken to the world around you. Feel the pulse of life. Often times we (me included) get so caught up in our own version of reality that we forget the connection with others.
Awaken to hope, what could be, what might be if only for a moment. Share the wealth of knowledge and love with a stranger most people are receptive. You will be surprised at the feedback you get

From Fear to being totally OK

[NancyV]

It's all one big undivided whole. Whatever you're aware of or wherever you go, that's where you are. The more "awakened" one becomes the more one knows there is no need to "awaken" so called others. But we may indulge in any games we choose to play.....and it's all okay.

I posted this on the Alexandria thread earlier on and think it is just as appropriate here;-

suppose - just suppose! - the purity of the circle has blinded us from seeing anything beyond it! I must begin all over with new eyes. I must rethink everything!... What if we dared to look at the world just as it is. Let us shed for a moment every preconceived idea - what shape would it show us?

Awake to realize what is a dream and what a reality. Then to readily and fluidly go inbetween and wherever we want.
To be awoken is to actively rather than passively - BE.

I and many hundred others were at a talk by Eckhart Tolle in St James church in London quite a few years ago.
He was very clear that a mass awakening was going on because the "Cosmos" wanted it.
Not a question of making it happen, just not resisting it.
He also said that otherwise, the human race is on self destruct--not that this really mattered as life would manifest in another form, that is we would.

Not that long ago if an enlightened author in the western world sold a thousand books that would have been an event, now Tolle and others have had their work read by literately millions. Awakening is happening on a grand scale.

To be, or not to be, that is the question—

To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come -

I realize this:

Consciousness of conscience.

Manages to remain as long as possible aware that this is a performance and I'm not the guy character. When we walked deep into character, it is very difficult not to make the same mistakes with different formats. A break occurs between the upper consciousness and the ego.

Control my thoughts that are responsible for my feelings is my main challenge exercised on a daily basis. I am able to do very stupid things when just my ego is in charge.

A daily isolation period becomes desired. Rebalancing.

I am very curious and on one hand I'm sad when aware of certain facts, on the other I'm fascinated with the possibilities that unfold in terms of eternal existence. In this case the accumulation of high-frequency information becomes essential.

A good question with good answers.

It would be good to be beyond both I think.

To Know.

No questions, no answers, just experiential awareness.

[DaRkViPeR]

Awaken from your always sleeping mind where you live your life without realizing who and what you are supposed to be.
Awaken to the truth of reality, to look deep into yourself and ask yourself if you are ready to see what I see.
I see a planet that suffers from amnesia.
I see men, women and children dying every day from wars, disease and hunger.
I see a world of deception where everything is based on lies.
I see masses of people being controlled by money and religion.
I see the rich elite herding humanity like sheep to gain more wealth and power.
I see a planet that is dying, yet the powers to be continue with their destruction.
I see humanity driving themselfes to extinction because ignorance is bliss.

If you see what I see, you will stop and realize that something got to change.
Then you are awakened and awake, and you will feel the stirring of your inner soul to be set free, and be what and who you are meant to be.

[Rollo]

Awaken to the reality beyond duality.
