As for my personal awakening indicators.

1. How do you know you are awaking?

I see other awakening people going the steps and stages I struggled. There are stages I passed and there are stages I am stuck in. It is not a linear sequence of stage after stage. Rather unique to each. Therefore I cannot say I am more awaken then others.
2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

1. One is for sure, synchronicity and strange coincidences.
2. Understanding that it is very personal, there is no single path.
3. Internalize (difficult lesson) that awakening is a personal choice. You can bring the camel to the well, you cannot make him drink.
4. Realize that wisdom and knowledge are just a sugar coating and first step.
5. Struggle with authenticity to the spiritual ideals I believe. Other words - walk the talk (work in progress).
6. Humility, knowing there are more steps I do not know/remember about (work in progress).
7. Acknowledging and facing personal fears (work in progress).
3. What are the stage you pass in your awakening?

1. Desire and thirst for something undefined.
2. Realization there is more then we are told.
3. Seeking answers in religions and old wisdom. Infinite thirst for knowledge.
4. Understanding the control structure and, control mechanisms.
5. Anger and fear against TPTB
6. Understanding the power of the intent and the human belief system.
7. Plan for self reprogramming, and take 100% responsibility
8. Open(release control) to the events/experiences that are coming with the knowledge.
9. Accept that the game is rigged and everything in creation is perfect, whole and complete.
10. Let go, control (work in progress)


Hope you can post your own insights as well.

Measure. From to measure. To create a one-to-one relation between a property ( from the object which is measured ) and a mathematical set.
For example.
#1 Your physical well-being -> to a constant body temperature -> to a range around 37.
#2 Your succes -> to your income per year -> to a number >= 0.

My point is: I think the question is: "can you MEASURE your level of awakening?"

Not that I can measure it myself, although I think "Level of awakening" should definitely be one of my statistics I am not that far on my bridge to Enlightment. I have to deal with issues lower on the scale first.

Measure is a technique to make comparison. In time scale or dimension scale.
There are qualitative measures (bad, good, improve, smelly, painfull). And quantitative measures (length, time, temprature, energy...).
Please express the measurement you find proper to describe your experience.

Interesting post!

1. How do you know you are awaking?

I know because I feel it in every cell of my body. Since it began I sometimes feel like my body resonates to a frequency I have never known – this often occurs while learning something new or should I say rediscovering something old. I feel a yearning to catch up to something yet what that something is feels evasive somehow. This feeling of vibration in my body and mind occurs when I can almost touch it, when I feel I’m close … when I feel like my fussy, little head is about to burst with information that I can’t elevate to my conscious mind and put into a context I can share or put into an order which works in this linear world. Like I know that I found something real and not a misinterpreted symbolic analogy of ancient memories. It probably is just that but I feel like my mind or … soul knows something that it wants the conscious me to remember and it points out the clues. I’m not strong enough or ready yet to grasp it and it frustrates me and keeps me at my studies.

2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

The resonance or humming is becoming stronger. With very little focus I feel a tightening in my forehead (3. Chakra) but I am not practiced enough to shut out what is needed for the senses to let go and just see. Not anymore. I was once as a child/teenager and aim to be again. Other indicators are my focuses in life – money and possessions have become irrelevant to me. Knowledge or rather wisdom has become a goal and I seek it most by seeking insight in life around me and in our past.

3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?

I don’t know if I can even divide this into stages as time has become elusive. I still see the clock going around and around but my sense of time is all messed up. Especially when it comes to what I learn. I was once very good at remembering appointments and dates and time. Now I don’t remember my next doctor’s appointment or my husband’s plans for the week. He’s pretty good about that, though, he reminds me again and again. But somewhere in that linear way of boxing things there are probably many stages. To me the stages and my search are like a puzzle. Like I’m standing in a big, dark room and someone threw a million pieces of the puzzle on the floor. And I have to find them and finish the puzzle in the dark. A corner here, some of the middle there … those are the stages that will, hopefully, eventually lead me to see the complete puzzle, because I don’t think the light will come on until I put the very last piece in its place. And that is what frustrates me the most as I also have a constant feeling that I have to hurry.

Good thread Pathwalker. For me its an intuition thing.

I work each day on seeing only good in people - it gets easier
I work each day on "feeling" love for all - it gets easier
I work each day on "projecting" love for all - this gets way easier
I work each day on being at peace and still - it gets easier
I work each day on feeling the light within - it gets easier
I work each day on concentrating the internal energy to the top of my head - it gets easier
I work each day to still my thoughts - that gets easier to focus on, but hard to attain
I work each day to feel the "one" within - nope not there yet (no where close actually)
I work each day on humility - that gets easier the more you focus on it

I took awakening to be enlightenment. Apologies if that is not what you meant.

There are many other steps and would like to learn from others what they particularly focus on - and I am but a beginner student finding my way. I am ever hopeful that there is a particular key to unlock the faraday cage?????

ADDIT: How will I know if Ive attained it......... oh Im picking you will just know ;)

[gigawatt]

Path Walker : Love this Thread idea.

How do you know you are awaking?

- synchronicity all around me
- sense of belonging to something much greater. Grounded with nature.
- complete forgiveness and tolerance
- reflective and not reactive
- eyes open to the possibilities and not the actual
- Ability to control the heat in my hands and consciously shift the energy from one to the other
- seeing the change in people around me as they begin to wonder and explorer and assisting them
- accepting that all occurrences in my life are not by chance but of my own will and intention
- complete and utter release of control in difficult situations by knowing that the solution will come to me in a fashion which resonates with me and in due time

2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

- The synchronicity: They happen daily and increasing in number
- Heightened sense of intuition: Ability of prediction more accurate and clearer
- Visions which come to pass

3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?

- In the system: Do this. Do that. Do what your told. We'll tell you how it is ...
- Wakening up: Let try this. Let's do that. Well what if I did it this way ...
- Awakened: If it feels right for me tehn this is the path I will take ... still on my journey

[Shairia]

It's a continual process, one never completed while in this vessel, you need to work at it everyday. It helps to remain in the witness state.

Thank you Autumn for sharing your intimate inner feelings.
The energy I felt from your post was of struggle and hardship. Just wanted to let you consider this: we create our emotional reality.
You describe the process of opening the third eye. That is absolutely awakening. There are many stages and each stage has it own beauty. Like the beauty of a baby growing and learning to use the body.
As parents we enjoy each stage of the child development and rejoice on the development. We can assume the same wonderful approach toward the self.
Continue with baby development metaphor, some parents are worry seek always about the development stage and pace. The worry is not helpful, the action and intention is effective. Worry is just initial indicator and motivator. We can release it, (I wish I could do that as fast as I write it. For me it is still a work in progress.) and put our focus on creating.

For me an aspect of awakening is, letting go of the struggle and getting into the flow. Seems you are riding the wave.;)

Beloved witchy1,
Your path is awesome.
You wrote extensively about love and expression of love. My personal lesson is that I need to learn to love myself (acceptance) first in order to love the rest.
I give myself hard time with self judgments.
As for quieting the mind. Known zen technique. Only the first stage is struggle and effort. The idea is to identify thoughts and let go. Receive the next one, identify and let go. :violin:

As for feeling the one, it is an exprssion of gratitude. If you can feel gratitude for life and the experience you have then you are with the one. And the gratitude grows. You learn to live in gratitude, you physiology changes as well.
Thanks for you beautiful post.

[Teakai]

Hi Pathwalker, about once a day - sometimes more I get this strange sort of feeling, it's hard to explain, but my head and my body, but most noticeably my head sort of surges, and goes light. (my blood pressure is normal)
It's quite a pleasant feeling actually.

Apart from that I feel much the same as usual. I don;t know if it has anything to do with awakening - maybe it's more to do with magnetics and pressures, or frequencies. Thought I'd put it here in case it's happening to others also.

[Anchor]

1. How do you know you are awaking?

Each day that passes I am more aware of my connection to everything and my responsibilities
2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

No - sorry, most of it is a yes/no on/off kind of thing
3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?

I cant speak about stages. Most people get thier asses kicked at some point by the universe, I am no different and it has helped me, but as I look back on the last ten years:r:

One begins by realising that things are not as one originally thought

One takes action to gain clarity

Things follow from there in a rush :)

Things that happened to me in no particular order along the way are interesting to contemplate and do represent milestones that I am sure are common for many others.

I finally started meditating everyday - this turned out to be "a good thing" because in meditation you gain clarity and perspective you didn't have before, and then when that has happened you know things are changing.
Subsequently I developed an inner dialogue - conversations with my higher self
The time that that an intent based manifestation I was attempting actually worked (freaking wonderful I can tell you)
Experiences in healing others have been defining moments for both me and them
Being saved by supernatural powers in dangerous situations
Being helped by angels (on request)
I started to notice important synchronicities that I realized were the universe teaching me stuff
Confidence in my intuition - I suddenly realised this was an active part of my life now
The catalyst provided by my experiences being involved in the old forum (that is Project Camelot/Project Avalon version 1) for me was quite an intense boost (from say 2008 on).

That is what I can think of right now, hope this isnt garbled - I am writing it on a train :)

Massive love to you all!

Hi Pathwalker, thank you for posting this thread. it is making me think hard of what happened for me. i went through several years of bad things happening and i couldn't understand why they were happening too me. i hadn't done anything to anyone or spoiled my surroundings in any way for the turmoil that had beset me. then i began to notice that when i read a news article, or watched the news i began in my mind to disagree to the extreme with what i was being told. i didn't believe the things that were being presented to the world audience. but i couldn't understand why i didn't believe them. then i noticed a feeling that something was just out of my peripheral vision, not only with my eyes, but my third eye was seeing something as well. things began to take on an entirely different scope of meaning. like i was climbing blindly to get to the top of something, not knowing what it is/was. i began having small episodes of ear tones that have escalated to a much larger degree now. i also have noticed that my intuition is brightly aware and acutely functioning. i instantly know when i'm surrounded by negative energy from others and i have discovered how to avoid these others and keep my positive energy moving forward. on occasion have seen little bits of future events and faces of other people that i've not met yet. my feelings of deja-vu have escalated as well. at first, i wasn't sure what was happening to me. i thought i was on the edge on insanity, but i realized that i was a rational person, still doing the dogmatic everyday duties as a mom. so, about a year and a half ago, i began to do research to see what, if anything, i had been missing in the world. i watched one documentary and that led me on a very expansive chase to watch more, read more. and now i am here. to learn more. i know that everyone here has had different kinds of awakenings occurring and i know that i can learn from the more advanced of them. i want to explore and learn and grow. i take what i learn and try to impart it on my family and close friends. they are all at the very beginning stages, just realizing that something is amiss.

thank you so much for this post. i wasn't really sure that i could put it into words, but i have. or at least i've tried.

warmest regards, corson

How do you know you are awakening?

In my case I got woken up or sort of. Had what i call a paranormal experience (very minor) but as a result, consciousness woke up so as to speak. From then on, things were not the same anymore.
There are for sure levels of awakening, and you go like spiraling into greater depths of your awakening, but once consciousness is awaken so as to speak, there is no return to previous state.

Are there indicators you can measure?

I feel personally its a sort of difference such as been asleep or being awake. There is a sort of inner light that is ON...but it is not a visible light its Wakefulness.
An increase in Presence, your true nature, and also an increase in your awareness.

What are the stages you pass in your awakening

Awakening is sudden but then the unfoldment of the consequences of it in your humanness so as to speak, may take the shape of gradual phases as you integrate it.
How you react to that can take many forms and you may wish to embark on a spiritual path and then work on yourself. If you choose so, there is support and things will pop up in your reality or on the surface of your conscious awareness for you to work with these issues. This starts a quest, or a journey of inner exploration, realizations, seeing your truth and where do you personally get entangled and lost. If you are willing to continue, you will work on those issues and gradually clarity and peace will settle in as you work on accepting yourself and others for who they are.
its a big question, room for much more

Thanks you for your post, I am so connected and in alignment to your post.
I am still working on forgiveness and tolerance. It is said and difficult on personal level.
The control is my biggest current issue, it is tightly associated with fears. Therefore I have to work out my fears as well.
I also take total responsibility to my being and feelings.

I really got excited from your post, I find connected.

Thank you Teakai, you might wish to check if you are under external influence (aliens, spirits).
You may use divination tools or psychic assistance.

Good luck, your are sacred and safe in your path.

[Mr54]

I think that putting it simply actually being here as a member of the Avalonian community has got to be a pretty important indication that you are going through some kind of awakening. Not necessarily a spiritual awakening but you are definitely starting to ask questions about the nature of the reality you have been conditioned to perceive as real by society. Some people refer to this process as lifting the veil. Whats behind the veil.................. Shall we see?

Thank you John,
That is awesome post. Very inspiring and provide additional aspect to awakening. That is more intuitive. While mine is more intellectual and left brain (I am en engineer). But the benefits and outcome are grand.
I am very much connected to intuition and synchronicity. Nothing is luck and all is part of the grand plan. Never the less there are more lessons to learn then I imagine. Therefore I am learning humility on each step. I am kind of reluctant to declare I know this or that, in fear of the guides show/teach me some more humility.

These days I got many signals/clues that I have to revamp my chi and work with the body. I joined a thai-chi class.
I also having signals of information addiction.

Thanks for the post, love and power.

Thanks you Corson for sharing such personal information with us. You feel like family to me.
You describe connection to your guides and maybe alien intervention as well.
You are probably getting connected directly to your soul in a sensual way, rather then an intellectual way (myself). That is awesome. The intellect in many case is an obstacle to awakening (as you surly experienced), but it is required part as is the ego.

You are connected, seek from your higher self: what do I need to learn next. And you will advance in leaps. Your higher self (soul) will provide you with the lessons you can handle.

Love and power
Joy and happiness

Thank you Barbara for sharing,
The paranormal events are just the triggers, when they increase in your life then you know you are on the path.
The inner light experience is part of the paranormal awakening, it is nor enlightenment (yet). If you are ready take the next step and ask your inner guides for the next step, the lesson you need. And trust.
Trust for me is a BIG (understatement) challenge, and I have to release lots of fears and emotional feces in order to progress.

Love and power

Hello Pathwalker!

Thank you for the great thread as it gives us the chance to reflect from other´s experiences!
Indeed I chose my words with care not to use Enlightenment but Awakening...¨the paranormal event occured when awakening happened, 11 years ago, since then, many other symptoms have happened and much growth...its ongoing..

I dont focus anymore in the "enlightnment thing" as I see it as potential for much distortion and I rather like flowing with the awakening as it deepens day by day.

as you say, Love and Power!
Joy and hapiness!

Thank you, for starting this lovely thread.

1) How do you know you are awakening?
A lot of what I feel and for that matter know within myself is really difficult to put into words for me. On a physical level, there is a new feeling of humming vibration. I've had to burn through a lot of what I would call layers, especially in my heart chakra. I would actually wake up many nights (3:33am - another thread ) and feel it burning open with massive intensity, then it would be followed by weeks of crying and releasing.

I believe this was where I needed to physically start. I've been empathic, even as a child. But because I didn't understand it, I pushed it away and avoided it. I believe I also shut down part of my heart for protection. So I have and still continue to do a lot of work in that area. I often feel very raw and emotionally drained because of it all, but I'm finally learning some balance with my empathic abilities instead of shutting it away.

What sort of pushed all this growth or accelerated it was from a supernatural experience I had with one of my sisters. After that experience other physical things that happened were a huge sensitivity to light, sound, smells and feeling. The sun was too bright, but even with closed eyes at night, everything was still sort of bright through my eyelids! Noises and smells became almost unbearable as they were so heightened. I was also made aware of all sorts of spiritual/entities that were around my house. Everything really just opened up to me in a very dramatic way.

So with a taste of all that, I'm either awakening or going insane :)

2) Are there indicators you can measure?
hmm, for me I suppose I can just see growth. I've let go of a lot of fear, a lot of judgement. These themes still pop up in my life, but I'm not as quick to react in the old patterns, or if I do, I can pull myself away from it quicker. It's not like rising in levels for me and my issues. More like riding a spiral.... I often come back around to the same issues, but at a different view point, a different angle. Does that make sense? lol.

3)What are the stages you pass in awakening?
That is probably a really personal thing and obviously no two paths are going to be exactly alike. I did however find many similarities in the physical sensations I started going though with others. The computer was definitely a huge, huge help.

I know that there are going to be a lot of people that are awakening, that are not going to have such dramatic, earth shattering experiences. I think that is just what "I" needed or agreed to. Maybe it's my age (40's) and I just have a lot more uncovering to do, layers to burn through. I also know that it comes from years and years of denying my spirituality when I was younger. With so many years of pushing it away, it finally pushed back. Over the past few years I've had experiences that were so blatant, a logical explanation would no longer suffice. I could deny it no longer.

Namaste, looking forward to reading other journeys :)

1. How do you know you are awaking?

More knowing and less thinking.
Effortless manifestation, its there before I can think it.
Better able to renegotiate contracts and agreements I've made that don't serve me or any good at all.
More quickly identifying attachments.
A consistent sense of peace.
Less urgency to be 'doing' something.
Heightened abilities.
Comfortable in my own skin.


2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

My anxiety compared to what I experienced in 99 is virtually non existence compared to now, the absence of fear.
More acceptance less resistance.
Nothing seems to be a 'big deal' anymore.
Realizing I used to confuse fear for excitement and have better understanding of what is truly stimulating.
Less self critical, more self loving. Realized denial was not frugality but self punishment.
Knowing I don't have to do or be something to connect with people.
More authenticity, warts and all. I used to think I was doing people a favor by not showing them who I am.
The highest authority is in me.
Profoundly better overall health and age reversal.
Using my reactions as a measure.


3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?

No longer involving myself in all sorts new age clutter.
More self time. Self comes first, work comes last.
Dissolution of beleif systems.
Realizing I am the way I am for a higher purpose even if I'm not all love and light and rose petals and inviting the world to let me love them.
That I'm a Peacebreaker but the peace I'm breaking is a false one.
No longer rushing to make everything right for people to alleviate what was wrong with me.
One's work is their own.
Its okay to love people from a safe distance. That i can see the divinity inside but don't have to subject myself to the low behaviors.
I just know what I know no matter that the circumstances state otherwise.
What I know is more important than what I think. Not to mention less inflammatory.


The tip of the iceberg that which is below the surface is till a work in progress.

Thank you, for starting this lovely thread.

1) How do you know you are awakening?
A lot of what I feel and for that matter know within myself is really difficult to put into words for me. On a physical level, there is a new feeling of humming vibration. I've had to burn through a lot of what I would call layers, especially in my heart chakra. I would actually wake up many nights (3:33am - another thread ) and feel it burning open with massive intensity, then it would be followed by weeks of crying and releasing.

I believe this was where I needed to physically start. I've been empathic, even as a child. But because I didn't understand it, I pushed it away and avoided it. I believe I also shut down part of my heart for protection. So I have and still continue to do a lot of work in that area. I often feel very raw and emotionally drained because of it all, but I'm finally learning some balance with my empathic abilities instead of shutting it away.

What sort of pushed all this growth or accelerated it was from a supernatural experience I had with one of my sisters. After that experience other physical things that happened were a huge sensitivity to light, sound, smells and feeling.

Beloved Di, Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Hebrew term for warmth and intimacy),
Your story is very intense and experiential, while mine is much more knowledge and wisdom (with reference to the pic I sent you). But yes I am now experiencing the super natural somewhat, I am inviting more (like parking lot angle assistance, supermarket fairy protection, post office queue demon...).
I found some story elements to tangent with Limor (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?13633-Our-x-factor)story (which inspired me to open this thread).

I am absolutely sympathies with the "reoccurring lessons", I call them lessons in humility. I have some fears of fear, with addition to fears of bombastic statements about mastery and wisdom acquired. I prefer to say I am still work in progress, and have my daily portion, with grace.

My lessons are graceful since I am able to recognize the work item, sooner then the later to take full responsibility. With that I realized in the last few years, I get Karma response very fast (pleasant and unpleasant). My personal wise teacher says that I probably have balanced the bulk. Yet she claims (my teacher) that in this lifetime we are balancing Karma in the amounts that we used to balance in many lifetimes. Therefore this ride is more of the roller coaster type, emotional and physical. We are the bravest of the brave to incarnate this critical lifetime.

Your story of extra sensory sensitivity is an indicator of unbalanced Kundalini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini) awakening experience. These can lead to serious damage in the physical and mental. Hope you recovered, and gained some insights. The self occurrence of Kundalini burst is rare and a definite sign for awakening. You can be grateful that you survived and walking the path. Other have their awakening path very painful and traumatic (accidents, illness, visitations, wars, famine, abductions...).

Also I wish to add that one of the best side effects of awakening is the deep sense of gratitude that is coming from the heart. Feeling the love and abundance that I experience. It is always accompanied with the fear that it is all illusion and transient. And that it can change in a second. Yet I have the humble sense that if I have it I deserve it. Then again the fear, am I sharing enough? (hope you got the dualistic fear/gratitude).
I would say that I find oneness with the creator in the feeling of gratitude. And even gratitude for the sensory experiences I have, for example today sunset colors. So my experience is mixed of universal wisdom and human/survival/ego fears.

Your post is awesome, see how much I got to spill out.

Love and power,
Joy and happiness

Peace be with you Pathwalker~
Yes I totally agree that my awakening was very unbalanced, quite dramatic and physical. It was also very surprising in that I wasn't really looking for spiritual enlightenment at that moment in my life. Funny enough, I also sense that if it were any less dramatic, I may have tried to brush it aside in some way.

I did get to a point where it was just too much, I found it difficult to function in daily life, and did not even want to leave my house. I asked for assistance in lessoning the physical, emotional aspects from my higher self. I did get relief after that and I ask for help more often now as a result.

Yes the best thing, most amazing thing is this huge connection I feel to everything. What a wonderful blessing that is!

Beloved 9eagle9,

I feel so much pain and struggle in your post. And I realize I have my own share as well.
You (personal) are the bravest of the brave to write such line. I could not be as revealing (again ego).
But I learn from your post a lot about my path and the emotional struggle I had am still having with myself. The tension between knowing and believing. The tension between the intellect and intuition. As I am very intellectual and analytical person.
The difference between wisdom and knowledge is a biggy for me as well. I understand the wisdom is gained with experience, one cannot learn to swim by reading swimming instruction books.

Your post is very introspecting into your emotional life and changes. Changes I did not pass yet. I do not know if ever, since each path is unique.
Yet there are emotional changes I endured/enduring that you did not mention (I am not as open).

I find this thread very emotionally demanding on me. And I am grateful for this opportunity to introspect.

Thanks again,
Love and power
Joy and happiness

Thanks you very much Humble Janitor,
I find your post very left brain and analytic, very much like mine.
You are still in the early stages and hope soon you will understand the meaning of let go. When your anger will be replaced with understanding the role of the bad guys. You might even find some compassion for them.
It is not mandatory, anger also is a motivator to take action. So you might wish to conserve the anger as well.

Your short post have some indications of alien contacts. You might wish to ask them to be more revealing and specific with their contact with you. Be not afraid, if they wanted to harm or exploit you they would have done so long ago. The technique to contact is vocally talk to them (better in solitude), and pose request before falling to sleep.

In posting these advises and observations in the thread, I am not patronizing in any way. I assume other members and guest who read this tread might wish to have some perspective and guidance beyond just sympathizing and "me-too" acknowledgment.

The "me-too" acknowledgment is most critical for awakening people to realize they are not mad, and/or not going crazy.

I also had the rage period big time, especially in the region where I live.
But once you learn the reality beyond TPTB power structure. The perspective broadens and the mind is quieted. Then we begin to release anger and other emotion that stuck us.
It is not mandatory by any means to progress beyond this point, it is only and option. And many PA readers (guests and members) have no desire to progress.
But the strange coincidence that you (the reader of this post) are reading this, is an indicator that you are interested and guided to progress your awakening.

With Love and power
Joy and happienss

One reaches a place where one must set aside all ideas, opinions, theories and beliefs and look earnestly and intently at the one great principle of
"I AM". Whosoever does this will find oneself awakened by the knowledge of the divine Self, that their own centre comes from the centre of spirit.

On all sides, within and without, he sees all beings, all things, all events, as only the playing of the Creator in all ITS myriad forms. One then becomes the Co-worker with the creator and cannot do other then the will of the Divine, for then free will has become that of the highest. One will no longer use the term, "my soul" or "your Soul" because at this place their is only SOUL.

The awakened SOUL then performs its functions in the spiritual worlds while living in the physical state. This state possesses neither wakefulnes nor dreams. It is absorption in the state of being "I AM". These two powerful words "I AM..........."

Thanks to Pathwalker for the Great thread, thanks to witchy1 for the reply (couldn't of said it better as to exactly the things I'm doing on a daily basis lately).
1. How do you know you are awaking?
Happened to me about 6 years ago although I'm not exactly sure what triggered it, but I instantly knew there was a change & that I can't go back
funny, my whole life i knew I was here for something but still don't know what exactly only that I'm moving in the right direction
Not too long ago I had my 1st real 1-w/creation expierience - too wonderful to describe (pure joy & happiness) & I've been trying to re-trace the steps of how I did it

2. Are there any indicators you can measure?
Yes, one thing that I used to think coincidense but now pick up on very easily is no matter who I'm speaking with & no matter what the subject matter is & no matter if the person is being truthful or not that there are words, statements, phrases that come out which seems to be a direct thought for me (like there's truth in everything or flipping radio channels & the songs match what you're thinking sort of expierience)

Without having a discussion with anyone about the subject (at the time I don't think it was a subject) I suddenly stopped watching TV, cancelled Sat. service, etc...

3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?
1st stage for me was, realizing something's not right & all of a sudden wanting to utilize everything at my disposal to start researching everything
2nd stage was wanting to concentrate on removing myself from negative environments & thoughts - which is a work in progress
3rd stage was actually starting to Do or Be that which I'd like the rest of the world to become - helping others, picking up a piece of trash, small things that it doesn't matter if anyone sees you do it or not & that you know it's the right thing to do
4th stage was a strong desire to reach out like here with a community of like-minded people, but also really out as far as I can imagine
Strength in sharing - Thanks All :)

Thanks you very much,
I believe your description is a state of enlightenment, the ultimate goal of our path. Return to oneness conscious.
The service we do is by following our unique path and expressing/experiencing the creation. As we awaken in the body we earn more self responsibility and creative powers (mastering the material realm?).
The awakening is the process of becoming enlighted. The time scale can be instant or many life time. It is a soul journey.

I like this mumbo jumbo philosophy to explain the difference, it is meaningless. Just semantics.

Beloved NinJin,
I absolutely understand what you wrote about being one. My first experience I was 19 and took a hike alone in the Galilee. I sat down to have sandwich and was in awe and fully connected to nature for few moments. That started it for me. I knew there is more then that.
I had a recourse of the moment in mediation few years later, while learning Kaballah. And also had the most frightening meditation ever as well.
I had the ultimate connection (yet) 2007, in flight returning from "living in the heart" workshop with Drunvalo. That was a spiritual orgasm for about 30 min, I was weeping and in ecstasy. The flight crew thought I was distressed or hysteric. While I was having the spiritual experience of my life.

In addition I had few almost death experiences (watching my life video running fast forward), eventually I came out of the events with miracles. I know (more then believe) that I am guarded and having a role to play. Not in the social roles but the spiritual role. I know I will be a spiritual teacher one day. I am still working on it. Learning humility, tolerance and patience.

One of the great avatar was asked what is the sign of awakening, and he replied:
1. The increase of synchronicity in your life.
2. The by product of the above is: complete trust in the force, and let go.

Let me share with you a story happened today.
I was in a mall shopping for lunch. Two teenagers approached me begging for money to travel home. I immediately said I have none and walked on. Then I had bad feeling and regrets that I refused. While reaffirming my self that I followed my intuition.
I had my sandwich and went down the stair to give the kids some money. While approaching them, they begged from another lady and she shouted and scolded at them. That was the sign I was needed. I knew I acted OK.

You mention the struggle of being right or wrong. As a dominant factor in your path. Detach from negative attache to positive.
I was in this mess, of health food and purity of intention and purity of body (Jewish religion). I realized that once I am part of the one/creator/god/logos/nature. I am part of the perfect and the perfect cannot create less then perfect. Therefore I am perfect as well. So do you.

Being a perfect person requires whole acceptance of the self/ego. Including the negative and dark sides. This acceptance bring us into humility and compassion with other beings (still work in progress). Being a perfect person is about acknowledging the imperfect as perfect. All our perceptions of imperfections are judgments (accidents, illness, war, famine, quakes). Eventually all adversities are painful on the body/ego, but are perfectly required by the spirit.

Lets celebrate life to the maximum with its ups and lows. For me being spiritually authentic (spiritual integrity), is the scale of progress. Am I am walking my talk?
I would say currently 20% - 30% of the time. And improving. While my teacher is 70%-80% walking her talk.
You feel it right with your intuition, and you/we/us will never know for sure.

May the power be with you.
Joy and happiness

The deeper I go the deeper I must go, my search brought me to project camelot and I had to re-learn everything I thought I knew.. There is a high pitched constant ring, I feel more connected to the earth and nature, the well being of the world is more important than my own well being, things are just of different than one year ago. My sense of time is completely messed up, I can't take my eyes off the stars when there out. something tells me to listen and watch and learn, and there is a highten sense of awareness of every little thing, I sometimes know whats going to happen just before it happens. I never viewed the world, the system as a matrix before, but it makes perfect sense to me, they want you to keep blinders on and stay in the rut, work, pay taxes, and believe whatever cnn tells you. I have a strong desire to challenge everything that the world wants to put in front of me, This is all new to me and I'm trying to learn what I can from all the avalon members, and the insights, video's, any information I can get, I have never done so much reading in my life as I have the last six months, I never liked to read, now I can't read enough. I feel like a giant sponge. anyhoo thats the best I can do to describe whats happening.. forgive my typing, and such I'm just an okie from muskogee....

Thanks to NinJin, I wish to notify the reader that the experience NinJin and me described of oneness. Is a call to remember who we are. Unlike the violent Kundalini experience described earlier by DianeKJ here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?14344-Positive-indicators-of-personal-awakening&p=143986&viewfull=1#post143986) . This kind of experience is a state of bliss that is very momentary. Once we experience this, we strive all our life to get back to this state. It is not enlightenment. But ratter a spark of reminder who we really are. We are NOT to stay in this state, since our path is to accomplish life missions (Karma).
People who had such experience, are well connected to the source and are sleeping masters. Masters who knew much better in other lifetimes, and there was some external trigger that sparked the remembrance. The same trigger will never work again, since we are in different mental and emotional state. The plug/trigger might be the same but the socket/myself is constantly changing.

IMHO, All we can do is, pray and practice our spiritual values. Being as much as possible in the state of gratitude and connected to the planet.

May the force be with you, young Jedi! :wave:

Thank you beloved ghostrider,
Your post is read like a poem. I enjoyed it greatly.
You describe the very beginning stage of lifting the veil. Understanding that there is more then we are told.
Till not long ago, there is organized religion to keep us in track and under control.
Now we are starting to realize how the true control gird works. Basically two poles, fear and scarcity.

Hope your period of rage and fear will be short. When you internalize that everything is under a bigger plan, bigger then TPTB plan, bigger then illuminati, bigger then ET controllers. It is about spiritual awakening of the planet with its inhabitant. It is unstoppable. More then that it is a personal choice to awaken.

Once we/you decide to take spiritual responsibility on your life. Things will change dramatically (regardless of your bias - STS or STO).
Good luck on you path. Please focus on your personal spiritual growth, that will make the change for you.

May the light shine into you and through you.

1. How do you know you are awaking?

I know facts and feelings most people around me do not know or realise
I feel discouraged about the world. Not because of having the feeling to be alone, but because there are not yet more that look behind te curtain.
I can't stand hearing radio or tv. Everytime I hear one of the two I turn it off. News is never true and it strikes me radio & tv always try to pump you up. Get you ready, keep you busy.
I don't read newspapers anymore, yet usually I know better than my friends what is going on.
I don't believe a lot of things anymore. I have begun replacing them with knowing.
I am angry at the world and myself for behaving and having behaved like a program, while that is not who we are or I am.

2. Are there any indicators you can measure?

I try to open myself more to feelings around me. which works a little bit.
If I feel I am having a deja vu I try to focus and keep myself in that state.
Sometimes I think I am more aware of my surroundings, sometimes I think it is imaginary.
Is this measurable? I don't know. For me not really up till now. But the process has been going on for years now, so I don't know how to measure it, because it is going so gradually.

I have no idea, but disillusionement, anger, dissatisfaction, out-of-place-feeling are definetely part of it.
Luckily finding myself enjoying the sunsets in the arriving spring, the love of my parents, the ability to share this with a lote of people here helps a lot. As someone before me wrote here. You can bring the camel to the well, but can't force it to drink. Well, that is exactly the most important part I believe. Take friends and family on your journey. If not for only understanding why you yourself do what you are doing. That way, maybe unintentionally they too will be positively influenced. At least, that is my experience.

To me, convergence is happening on a realistic level all around us. Old battle lines are slowly becoming obsolete. For example, religion vs. science. It's as obvious to me as the nose on my face that they are converging. The Dalai Lama, a Buddhist leader, studies science. The new pope has been moving the Catholic Church towards more acceptance of scientific thought. Science is on the verge of so many discoveries that will do more to prove the existence of God than to disprove it.

Politically, you've already seen Western Europe converge. Regions that fought with each other for over a thousand years are now economic allies. You can take a train from England to France, can you imagine what our ancestors would have thought. The current Mideast stuff happening now is interesting, but remember how incredibly big the fall of communism was, not that long ago. Maybe all just part of the waking up process.

Intellectually, the rise of the Internet has connected human thought in a way that we might not fully understand for decades.

Western medicine, much maligned, but at the same time, incredibly good at what it does, is waking up. I know several doctors now who are open to things like acupuncture, Chinese medicine etc. Directed treatment meets whole body treatment. It's starting to converge.

Convergence, meaning finding that things are more alike than different. Those things we thought were opposites are really parallels. The so-called Aquarian age

1. How do you know you are awaking?

I know facts and feelings most people around me do not know or realise
I feel discouraged about the world. Not because of having the feeling to be alone, but because there are not yet more that look behind te curtain.
I can't stand hearing radio or tv. Everytime I hear one of the two I turn it off. News is never true and it strikes me radio & tv always try to pump you up. Get you ready, keep you busy.
I don't read newspapers anymore, yet usually I know better than my friends what is going on.
I don't believe a lot of things anymore. I have begun replacing them with knowing.
I am angry at the world and myself for behaving and having behaved like a program, while that is not who we are or I am.

Beloved Gustav,

Thanks for sharing your frustration, it is common here in PA forum to vent our feeling.
But you are among the bravest of the brave to take action and responsibility. You are among those who are willing to ascend the matrix.
The first stages resembles moaning, like anger, sorrow, victim-hood, acceptance.
There are many levels to the deception: banksters -> NWO -> iluminati -> reptilians -> exopolitics -> spiritual evolution. (there could be more levels).

I personally needed to play with each stage in order to get to the next.
You do not need to be information addict like myself, and go directly to the spiritual work (isn't this a coincidence/miracle that you read this?).

I was captured in ideology and religion in my youth. All are control structures. Being mad or resentful are just serving that control energy. You can serve yourself with forgives to yourself and the world. For you/we are perfect and we are just playing in the matrix. Taking a playful perspective (even to death and birth) allow us to identify duality and connecting to our inner child. The inner child that can connect us to our soul/spirit/higher-self/heart.
We might wish to advance to the next matrix (awaken). And there are requirements.

I an now in the stage of practicing compassion to myself and others, it is also hard to accept that we are balancing our karma. Each of us have a challenging path to pass. Each path has unique challenges that are as honorable as ours. Therefore my most difficult lesson is being humble and humility.
Expressing humility is accepting and embracing the physical reality, with no judgment for good or bad. It is difficult because it is deprogramming our ethical teaching.
It is very challenging because I/we have to challenge the validity of the culture moral values.

I am with you in the knowing, more important then understanding is knowing. I think you got that.
If you have the knowing (not analytical) then you are guided (or possessed - a matter of perspective ;)).

May the light shine into you and through you.
Joy and happiness

my awakening quickened when I started meditating(first in meditation then in any given moment) and thinking about the dual/infinite and often opposing realities coexisting simultaneously. Are we a product of our environment? Or is our environment a product of us? When I realized both are truths my awakening began. Its going faster all the time now, i day dream about some wild ideas both spiritual and cosmic. When i'm daydreaming i'm meditating :)

I thought only Fryerim gave away such personal information? ;-)

Ah well, since you have I'll quid for your quo ;-)

1. How do you know you're awakening?



I see awakening to a greater awareness much like having a lucid dream. In a lucid dream, we become aware that we are dreaming and, realising our situation, we have always raised our consciousness above that level. With more effort, we can raise it further by thinking 'in the right direction'. To me, awakening is realising that the world around us is also an illusion, like a dream, just a little more solid. :-)

2. Are there any indicators you can measure?



No, any tools of measurement open to me are inadequate for the task. I do believe however that there are times when I feel an ever greater awareness and at such stages I do not experience thought that way I was brought up to think of thought. I do not achieve such awareness through meditation or anything else that may be considered laborious; it comes upon me when I am doing what I came here to do, which naturally doesn't seem like work because my spirit is chomping at the bit to get into it.

3. What are the stages you pass in your awakening?



At first I knew we were lied to (I'd always felt it, even from earliest childhood). Then I get mad at the deception, guilty at my own part in it (by allowing it for so long), then I get over issues of blame and want knowledge. I become desperate for knowledge, then exasperated, and then I give up. When I give up, that is when my awareness is greatest. I haven't really given up, after all, I'm just going with the flow :-)

Awaken and Ascend
Concentrate on the conspiracy theories and you will not awaken and ascend. Not that these are not accurate, most of them are contributing credible facts to man's cabal awareness. But this is not to be the focus of those wanting to ascend. Why? Because this helps negative attitudes grow. Anything "against" counts as negativity, no matter what topic is being attacked. When man chooses any opinion that is "against" another, his mind is caught in the dream.

Nowhere does it say this dream is Reality. Man does not have any understanding of Reality. Are you concerned about any conspiracy or controller dialog mentioned by this blog, or from other sources? Then you are not awake yet. All of these things are part of the dream, my messages as well as every other contact with Masters and angels.

An awakening is to master life with no belief in the dream. When you awaken, you become aware that the dream is a dream, and all of those still dreaming are not awake. "Am I going to ascend?" is a question the dreamer asks. "Are we going to awaken?" is a more aware question.

All the conspiracies are not theories. Most are accurate accounts of the dream that is being acted out as a dream. None of the "hands on" descriptions are being made up by those delivering them to man's mind—except the official ones. No official claim about man's condition comes from an accurate account, only from manufactured data to lead you away from what is accurate. But, neither of these two scenarios will take you to the awakened condition. Both are distractions! Mental conviction for either matrix of materialization contains no accuracy in the big picture, only in the keyhole you are observing it through.

My message today is not about whether there is a conspiracy or no conspiracy. It is about the dream or no dream.

Chances are you do not agree with anything being claimed by me today. Why? Because we are talking about waking up to a more accurate picture than the one that is meeting your eye when it is seen through the keyhole. Please don't allow your mind to cancel this message before it learns the next attributes of being awake:
1. Clarity about how the dream is mesmerizing the mass consciousness.
2. Awareness of the Truth that mind cannot grasp.
3. Change in the consciousness of an adept to awareness of the higher realms and beyond.
4. Cancellation of those attitudes that have defeated the ascension.
5. Answers to all questions about the dream.

Making a leap in consciousness can be a direct result of discontinuing your mental concerns about the drama being enacted by all dreamers. Placing all of these dramas in a category of "dream not Reality" is a good way to begin. Next, move your attention away from all the deliverers of control vs. victim material. All of this is part of the dream and you can detach from it. Convincing yourself (or anyone else) about the accuracy of any data is mental destruction of the light.

You only deliver light from the essence of your being. Your guide to awakening is in the core of that light—in your deepest inner depths—not in the mind. Forget all the change data, all the mesmerizing conspiracy theories, all the data about human affairs, and go to this depth for your reality check. Not just for a casual glimpse, but for a deep, clear acceptance of what is found in the awareness of your own heart.

Allow the dream to be your entertainment, not part of your ongoing creation. The mind is your director of mis-understanding. Clear your mind of all outer news and open the heart for awakened awareness. We need more awakenings for the change of mass consciousness in the dream to be achieved.

We are near the ascension, and we are not content with less than all of those who chose ascension to be on this next wave. Are you awake? No? When the ascension occurs you will not be leaving.
You can awaken NOW—it needs nothing other than what I just told you in this message.
