Actually, becoming awakened is very simple. Just learn how to "be present" with your Self and this will allow you to be "awakened" to who you really are. As well, it will help you to know all you need to know about your current life circumstances and about others.

But what does "being present" with your Self really mean? It means just sitting and listening to your self. Listening initially to the dissonance of fear, anger and confusion that by default keeps running in your mind; and then letting all that static fade away so that finally, in the Silence, you get to hear your real Self.

And there, in the presence of your Self, you know you "know" and then you are finally, truly, and irrevocably free from all the limiting beliefs that block you from knowing and "being" who you ARE.

It is in this place and space of communion, connection and Embrace that you will find the answer to the most important question you could ever ask of yourself: "Who AM I?" And the answer that you find will be one that will help you to realize and take ownership of the fact that you are loved, whole, and free and that you have eternal value!

For this precisely is what awakening really is--knowing who you really ARE in all your magnificence and splendor! "Being present" with your Self is the key that will help you to open the doors to the mystery and majesty of who you really are.

This will allow you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Nirvana, Valhalla, the place that is your true domicile, your real home--a place of profound love, truth, and wisdom.

So, just sit with your Self for awhile each day this week and ask that you can come to "Know Thy Self!" Ask sincerely and "be present" to listen; and believe me, all the forces of Heaven will come to your side to assist you.

Doing this is a marvelous opportunity to be present with your "most significant other"--your Self!

How can you live your life not knowing who you ARE?

This is Part IV of a twelve part blog. Part I begins on 09/03/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

Thus, I discovered that I had to dig deep within to find the “bedrock” of my “being” and free myself from the quicksand of other people’s desires and expectations of me.

To do this I had to plumb the depths of my little self and navigate past all of its fears and insecurities and come up, instead, to land upon the solid ground of the shores of my Higher Self! There I could stand on the core foundation of who I really AM. There I could look at myself in the mirror and see who I really AM!

As I began to do this, I clearly realized, then and there, that I could no longer live in the shadow of my ego or of someone else’s expectations, but had to live in the Light of my Soul!

I am well aware that all of this is a lot easier said than done—but regardless this kind of brutally honest soul-searching is very, very necessary.

So, what I would like to share with you now is a bit of my story; how I originally wrote it, how I gradually began to read it over and rewrite it, how I eventually chucked the whole thing, and how I, now, no longer have a story, but just AM from moment to moment!

It’s all about “Being” and not about “doing.” A story “does;” a Life IS. I choose to BE who I AM and not to just “do.” I am a human “being” and not a human “doing.”

So, let’s explore this story a bit, perhaps it can help you to find or refine yours, as well!

So, let’s discover what it means “to live your life from the inside out,” to live your life seeing everything and everyone through the eyes and heart of your Soul rather than following a prepared, cookie-cutter script and being blind to and afraid of the possibilities that are you!

This is Part I of a twelve part blog.

This next series of blog posts can be read on their own, though they are a continuation of a theme that I have been developing the past month or so. In order to get the full context for what follows you might want to go back and read my blog posts entitled: What Does it Mean to Have a “Personal” Relationship with God/Goddess? posted 04/16/07 and Who are You Really Talking to All Day Long and Why! The Art of Mindfulness, posted 04/30/07.

If we take the time to become aware of it, we discover that we are constantly having some kind of an internal dialogue going on in our minds. And as I wrote in my earlier blogs most of it is repetitious, boring and usually rather negative.

What I would like to share with you in this next series of blog posts is how one can channel this previously mostly wasted energy of negative mind drivel into something very wonderful, life transforming and enriching.

Instead of spending most your energies rehashing old, worn-out scenarios or dialogues in your mind, why not take that time and energy to consciously and intentionally develop a personal relationship with God/Goddess, your Higher Self and your Guides?

I realize that for some of you the above statement, in and of itself, may seem rather absurd. But I ask you to reserve judgment until you have both read through what I have to offer and tried what I suggest.

Yes, I understand that many believe that a personal relationship with God/Goddess is either unimportant or impossible, but until you have taken the time to try it out, please hold off judging the proposition. [See my previous blog posts referred to above for more about this.]

Also, many believe developing a relationship with our Guides is also rather preposterous-- that any such relationship is basically a projection and not real. Well, that’s what I thought about it at one point, but as time went on, I began to develop a very real connection and communion with an incredible group of energies that was more “real” than real. I have no doubt that what I presently experience is not projection. It is very, very real.

As well, for me the concept of connecting with my Higher Self had also been one that was, initially, quite hard to grasp. It all felt so amorphous, ethereal and hard to believe, but, in time, I was able to learn how to shift into an awareness that allowed me to “hear” and “listen” to my Self, that is my Higher Self. And, boy, oh boy, it has been such a blessing and wellspring of incredible comfort, guidance and wisdom since then.

This is Part II of a two Part blog. Go to my blog entry of 04/09/07 for Part I.

How can you live your life not knowing who you ARE?

It is the most important question you can ask yourself. It is the most important quest you can embark on in your life. And it is precisely why you have incarnated this time.

Your purpose in coming forth in this dimension at this time is to come to truly, finally and completely “Know Thy Self.” To finally without a scintilla of a doubt know who you ARE so that you can embody and experience that “knowing” throughout the rest of your eternity.

In other words you have come forth this time to totally “get” this lesson and to then move on to greater and greater experiences and realizations of the Love of God/Goddess.

For each one of you the process of getting the answer to the question of “Who Am I?” will be different. So, there is no one way to find the answer nor is there the same answer for every one.

But as you ask the question, you begin to eliminate who you are not and then eventually you come to know who you are.

You will know that you are there, that is, that you have found the answer, when you have stopped asking the question. For there is no answer to the question of ´”Who AM I.” Actually, there is not even the question. There is just the profound experience of your Self as God/Goddess.

And when that “knowing” comes over you, you know you “know” who you are and why you are, but it no longer matters!

For now you have found your Self and all your questions have now turned into answers.

So, what was once a big “WHY” no longer matters. And the big “WHY” has now turned into a big “Y” that stands for and sees it all as one big “YES!”

So, seek ye first your Self and all will be added!
NB Please do think about what you have just read, just “feel” it; don’t think it and you then will “know” if it resonates with you.
