Have you ever once had to leave? A family, a home, parents, a partner, a business, a former life?
Not because you had a ready plan, but because at some point it became clear: that is it. It cannot go on like this. Something is wrong. I do not know what is right, but I know for certain that further on is a dead end.
If your answer is “yes”, then you have already held one of the main clues in your hands. Awakening begins in a very similar way.
One day you become tired in exactly the same way of the books you have read, of endless webinars, seminars, courses, sessions, retreats, and meetings with yet another “more intelligent”, “more advanced”, and “almost enlightened” person.
And at some point it becomes clear: it cannot go on like this. That is when the real thing begins.
Awakening is not a new beautiful level of reality. It is not a spiritual upgrade. And it is not an honorary title.
Awakening is the honest and total letting go of all your attachments, all your beautiful ideas about yourself, and all hopes of one day becoming someone finally correct.
As long as a person is enchanted by the image of themselves, they are asleep. Even if they say the right words, sit in the lotus position, and know how to be mysteriously silent.
The clearing begins where living presence appears. When you are not playing the observer, but truly noticing: here is the personality, here are its fears, here is its running around the matrix, here are my reactions, and here is that which sees all of this.
Not an idea of light. The clearing itself among illusion.
Until disappointment has happened, there will be no insight either. You cannot prepare for the jump into yourself. Either one day you jump, or you continue to think, read, and rehearse the jump in your sleep.
Amen, my friends...
