Thoughts on awakening

[WhiteLove]

The more I wake up, the more I start to sense and remember fragments of the true reality.

I think that when we have fully reached the awake state, we will know that reality simply just works and is in a specific way and we will be extremely appreciative about how it works and is and how that is forever a constant that gives us comfort, joy, freedom and great deep emotions of this truth. The old beliefs and thoughts we so much held on to, we have now dropped, they were never true and we now understand why.

I believe truth seeking, unconditional love and peace can bridge that gap of our current awareness of reality to the awareness of the true reality.

There is no awakening but to know thyself.

If one truly wants to know what the awakened state is like and how profound the paradigm shift is, read "Perfect Brilliant Stillness" by David Carse. After awakening there is no belief anymore. No dreaming and no beliefs. They are part of the I, me, mine story, which all falls away.

The first thing that is seen upon full awakening that David Carse and others point out is that there is no "I", no one home, that the entire story that builds up our perception of an I is false. It's like having the most important rug in our collection pulled out from under us. No more fake narrative to lean on. That is very disturbing to many who awaken fully.
