Have you ever 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. This cannot continue. Something is wrong. I do not know what is right, but I know for certain — this road 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 grow just as tired 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: this cannot go on. 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 your hopes of one day becoming someone finally correct.
As long as a person is enchanted by the image of himself, he is asleep. Even if he says the right words, sits in the lotus position, and knows how to be mysteriously silent.
The opening begins where living presence appears. When you are not playing the observer, but actually 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 the idea of light. The opening itself inside illusion.
Until disappointment has happened, insight will not happen either. One cannot prepare for the jump into oneself. Either you jump one day, or you continue thinking, reading, and rehearsing the jump in your sleep.
Amen, my friends...
