Question: What Does It Mean To Awaken To Enlightenment

Namaste divine beings.

Question what does it mean to wake up to enlightenment?

There is a deeply entrenched need for freedom within each of us.

We are in the cycle of being happy and sad,

Being lonely and feeling a sense of belonging.

When Siddhartha reached a pivotal time in his life struck by extreme depression he had a baby born.

It should have been the time of celebration but instead he broke away from that human predicament to seek his truth to become the Buddha.

That sadness that Siddhartha held is within each of us in different varying degrees.

Consciously and unconsciously we know we are seeking something greater than ourselves.

To wake up as the way Nirvana is described from the Buddhist perspective is to blow off the candle.

In other words to dissolve away the mind.

To wake up is to understand we are the spirit having this human experience.

To step outside the karmic imprints and its momentum to determine our destiny by being in the now.

To awaken that beyond the mind.

The sages call this state beyond the mind to rya,

Sleepless sleep.

Here we are not held back by the limitations of our mind and circumstance.

To awaken to the primordial fundamental question who am I is the affirmation of I am.

This I am is the unlimited beingness that is of source God resonance and vibrancy within.

To awaken ourselves to a higher self means allowing all our potential and genius to shine.

When we are awake we come to the knowing.

In this knowing our heart sings in doing.

We are inspired beings being the many as one and the one as many.

We have transcended the limits of the mind body and circumstance.

Our now holds the scriptures of truth for ourselves.

Being awake we know oneness that encompasses the goodness of consciousness which is empathy,

Compassion,

Love,

Sharing.

In oneness is the higher vibrancy of light that we are in all the grace of being awake.

All numbers survive.
