Spiritual Awakening - What Spiritual Awakening Feels Like and the Trip Om

What is Spiritual Awakening?

Spiritual Awakening is the awareness that you are Totally Human as well as Totally Spiritual.

Spiritual Awakening is your everyday experience seen properly, which is why it is called an awakening.

Hi and welcome to this video clip on Spiritual Awakening. I'm James Traverse.

Real nature of your being is not within the realm of knowledge as that which is known or that which can be known through something like book-learning, and yet it is not unknowable.

Since the true nature of your being is not within the realm of knowledge, it can not be externalized and spoken about, and also yet we can mention objects and also looks in a specific way, such that they are seen in a new light.

As an example: We can mention the true nature of your remaining in similarly that we mention Love, as Love, like your real nature, is not something that can be externalized within the realm of expertise, and yet we understand through experience that Love is not unknowable. And we likewise know that it is the nature of Love to Love as it is what it does.

Currently what I just stated is very vital; so, let me claim it again in a slightly various method ...

Just how is Love recognized? It is the nature of Love to Love. Hence, Love is recognized using what it does, exactly how it appears. This way, just how it appears is exactly how Love is externalized as well as consequently how it is understood.

One more terrific guideline is just how we recognize what is called energy. How would certainly Albert Einstein react when we ask him, "What is Power?" Considering that he was a pure researcher Einstein would certainly answer, "We do not know what energy is; we recognize it using what it does." History shows us that Einstein went even further by showing that energy and also matter belong, as he actually specified their relationship through his renowned equation E = mc2

Today we know that when we plant an acorn in fertile ground that after some years there will certainly be an oak tree at that location. In this instance we comprehend that what unravels is that the details in the acorn's DNA orders the essential energies of Fire, as warmth as well as light from our sun, Air, as carbon dioxide and also other gasses in our environment, Water, as rain and ground water, as well as Earth, as the components in the dirt, to materialize as an oak tree, and that this kind appears in Space. We likewise recognize that we can reverse this procedure by setting fire to the oak tree such that the aspects that remain in this specific development are launched.

The masters of numerous old knowledge customs, like ones from India, China, Greece, and others aid us recognize how the vibrational nature of essential elements show up in objective kind. As an example: when you see an iceberg mixed-up on a partially gloomy day, what is seen is water in distinctive degrees of vibration as: the ionosphere, which is the ionized part of Planet's upper atmosphere, is what researchers call the Plasma Kind of Matter-- this is the Fire Component; the clouds, which are water vapour, are what scientists call the Gas Type of Issue-- this is the Air Aspect; the water of the ocean is what scientists call the Liquid Form of Issue-- this is the Water Aspect; and also the ice is what scientists call the Strong Form of Matter - this is the Earth Aspect. And also we know that we can cause the change from one type of issue to the various other by including or eliminating power as warmth.

In a similar light we see that ancient sages took the strategy of speaking of exactly how the true nature of your being appears, rather than attempting to define it. Therefore, they illustrated just how it appears as what it does. And, the most exact description of how real nature of your being shows up is the Om Icon as detailed in the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Mandukya Upanishad is the fastest Upanishad and its web content is pure wisdom. The word Mandukya suggests frog, and also it represents a kind-of dive from one state of awareness to an additional.

The Om Sign is made up of a background as well as four dynamic levels of symptom [objectification] as well as a crescent that represents the veiling power of super-imposition as follows:

The blankness of the background of the Om Symbol is stood for here by blackness. This indicates that Your True Nature Itself can not be externalized. The remainder of the symbol stands for that which can be objectified as well as thereby exactly how you are known.

The opening night is a dot, called Turiya in Sanskrit, which indicates the Fourth relative to the various other 3 more thick states of consciousness [although it is called the fourth about the others, it is absolutely the first] The dot is a factor in space that has area yet no dimension. This is the 'I am', or extra precisely, merely 'Am' as the recognizing quality that you exist.

The following type that appears is a crescent, which is called Maya in Sanskrit and it represents super-imposition as the veil of splitting up. This super-imposition strengthens using the densest degree of manifestation, and also as will be revealed later, it is the factor behind the incorrect final thought that you are separate.

The following level of density is the upper wave, which represents Deep Rest, or Sushupti in Sanskrit. At this degree there is being, yet still no dimension as Deep Sleep is experienced as a blankness. This is the Causal Level of being, as although it is experienced as a blankness, the seed of your present indication, that includes the mistaken final thought of separation, is present such that you remember what you look like on waking.

Fantasize Awareness is the following level of density, called Swapna in Sanskrit. This is stood for as a whirlpool or a wave curving back on itself such that there is a localized form. This is experienced as a Daydreamer as well as a Dreamer's globe. This is the Refined Degree of Awareness as type below is totally mental and also it also includes the mistaken conclusion of separation.

Lastly, there is the densest level of manifestation, which is Waking Consciousness, called Jagrat in Sanskrit. This is stood for by the bottom and also largest wave of the form. This is experienced as a Waker and a Waker's Globe. This is the most common state of awareness and it is the Gross Level of Awareness. It shows up a physique, mind as well as globe in Space and also Time.

It is in the state of Waking Consciousness that the mind as Maya most thoroughly super-imposes the suggestion of splitting up such that identification with a localized form blossoms as the incorrect understanding of who you are. This way the concepts of 'me' as well as 'not me' completely strengthen at this degree, and the experience of recognition as a limited localized type is strongly supported, as it is the essential idea of many people.

So, who or what is your true nature?

Your real nature can not be objectified, yet you can understand on your own via what you do, exactly how you show up.

This is what Krishnamurti meant when he stated, "The Viewer is the Observed."

You are Completely Human; this is confirmed by your daily experience as complies with:

There is the experience of that which can not be externalized. You may call it Emptiness, Sunyata, Love, Pure Consciousness, Understanding, God, or any kind of variety of various other names for the nameless.

The one thing that you can know for sure is that you exist-- that is Turiya, the knowing high quality of being.

Every Day you rest and also within rest there is Deep Rest as well as the experience of Blankness, within rest you likewise fantasize as the Dreamer as well as the Daydreamer's Globe and also you experience Waking Awareness as the Waker and the Waker's World.

Waking Consciousness is one of the most solidified kind of Awareness. This is the state of consciousness that is experienced a minimum of two-thirds of the time. For lots of people this experience is misshaped by the super-imposition of the mind's mistaken conclusion that she or he is a local form that is different from other individuals as well as things.

While it is true that the Waking State appears as a localized Waker that is different from the Waker's Globe, it is not true that real nature of your being is restricted to the Waking State of Consciousness. This is absolutely clear when you see the straightforward fact that you experience other states of consciousness on a daily basis, and that the experience of these distinct states of awareness is evidence that you are concurrently Totally Human as well as Fully Spiritual.

The Spiritual facet of your being can not be externalized as specified earlier, yet it is not unknowable as well as it is recognized when you see that what you are is unidentified, or emptiness, sharing Itself as all that which is objectified and therefore knowable. And this is likewise confirmed using your everyday experience.

As an example: When you smell a rose you do not claim, 'My nose senses the aroma of the rose' as there is just the experience of the rose's aroma. After the fact you might super-impose the suggestion of a nose that detects it, because when your eyes are open, you see the rose as a form that is different from you, yet when you shut your eyes, there is only the experience of smelling as the fragrance of the rose.

Similarly, on hearing an attractive piece of music or listening to an amazing vocalist you do not state, 'My ears hear the music or the singer' as there is just listening to presently. Once more, when your eyes are open you may wrongly conclude that the artists and vocalist are different from you, yet when you close your eyes there is only hearing. Once this is clear as well as you then open your eyes once again, all there is, is seeing.

In these instances you additionally see that the concept of some separate form sensing using a particular sense door is contributed to the experience by the super-imposing task of the mind as it describes the experience.

Ancient sages have actually stated the true nature of your being in Mahavakyas, which indicates Wonderful Declarations. There are four Terrific Statements in ancient Sanskrit messages, and also the one that I feel best fits with what I have actually shared thus far appears in the Chandogya Upanishad as, 'Tat Tvam Asi', which means: That Thou Art. In Krishnamurti's words this is the truth that, 'The Viewer is the Observed' or merely you are that which is showing up now.

In recap, your Real Nature Itself can not be objectified, yet like Love, Power as well as Om it is not unknowable. Like Love, Energy as well as Om, it is your nature to reveal on your own as what you do. What you do, how you appear, is the objectification of your true nature in degrees of density as well as most solidly as a body, mind and also globe precede and also Time, and this is the methods where you Know Yourself as at the same time Completely Human as well as Totally Spiritual.

In this light, for you Spiritual Awakening's answer to the question, 'That am I?' is,

I am recognized by means of just how my real nature shows up! I am concurrently Totally Human and Completely Spiritual. My Human Type is short-term; my Spiritual Being is unlimited.

In Scriptural terms this mentioned as, 'I AM THAT I AM'.
