THE MANY GIFTS OF AWARENESS!

Awareness = Life force! Awareness = Immaculate Conception!

Awareness of something triggers the ‘ah’ frisson of its possibility… and this discovery triggers desire… desire triggers the ‘journey’... and the journey triggers the various ‘experiences’! Awareness increasingly brings to life that which we become aware of! This is the power of awareness & thus is it the Immaculate Conception often spoken about! Indeed, it is ones awareness that gives birth to that which we become aware of, and thus does awareness become mother & father in birthing THE MANY GIFTS OF AWARENESS:

-The very awareness of our Authentic Nature/Self… allows the birthing and experiencing of our DIVINITY!

-Indeed the very awareness of our Authentic Nature/ Self and Its myriad ‘qualities’ or states of being - LOVE, ONENESS, STILLNESS, JOYFULNESS, ABUNDANCE (to name but a few) - increasingly brings them to life in day to day ways!

-At a deeper level- awareness of our Authentic Nature/Self and the dream of samsara and its inevitable AWAKENING from it…. inherently leads to it!

Indeed at every level …Awareness… brings into ‘being’ the all-potential inherent in Itself: In the practical here and now level: Our levels of awareness create our life and world! Thus awareness of all that we can be/are…brings into being our highest potentials! And once something comes to life, its growth is a natural process - indeed like any parent, awareness (of something) inherently seeks to nurture the ‘positive’ and disempower the ‘negative’ towards optimal growth!

Let’s see this through simple analogy: when you become aware of …say…a book…or this comment…it comes to life! It already existed but your awareness of it births it (and its possibilities) into your reality/life! Thus as and when you become aware of ‘spiritual truths’…of the fulfillment or peace or love or whatever...they can add to life… they begin to become part of your self/life…! Another analogy: If your neighbor was giving away 'gold' for free, and you did not know about it, you could not be recipient. Yet someone who heard about it from another part of the city or even world –who became aware of this- could come and receive this abundance, purely because they were aware of it... so as we become aware of the 'gold'…deeper fulfillment and freedom that spiritualists speak …and the steps towards it… can it become ours ..

At a deeper level: Immaculate Conception symbolizes that state of Awareness which allows each of us to birth our ‘Christ’ Consciousness –Divine Self! Mother Mary (the feminine aspect of self) birth's our Christ Consciousness- as it’s not our mind/intellectual understanding/concepts/active effort that eventually births Self … but the heart/love/wisdom/silent gnosis/surrender that does. Yet like there can be no child without father and mother... both mind/understanding/words/effort and heart /love/beyond words silence/surrender play their part …! The father aspect (Knowledge-Path) seeds us into becoming the Mother (Love/Surrender)…. and in that….birth –Our Divine Self! (Christ consciousness is a state of consciousness...also described as Krishna consciousness, Buddha hood, Universal Consciousnesses, and many other terms) In unawareness are we are enmeshed in the self and its ups and downs! But awareness by itself has the power to help us move from self back to Self!

The paradox of awareness: indeed awareness = NON JUDGMENT of ignorance

Paradoxically, awareness helps us accept & embrace unawareness and ignorance! Authentic awareness helps us accept & embrace those lives/phases where we were unaware/in ignorance; it helps us accept & embrace others we may deem as unaware/ ignorant - for it judges not, condemns not but acknowledges, honors & accepts that each phase is a valid part of the whole/cosmic play- even ignorance and separation!

Awareness makes us aware that awareness ‘happens’ as & when our role in the cosmic play requires… awareness increases as & when impersonal consciousness chooses thus for personal consciousness…and awareness heightens when our individuated role is coming to a close....! Thus authentic awareness helps us move from regret and judgment of our prior states of ignorance …or others who may seem unconscious now…helps us be aware how its all part of the play!
