Awakening is Not an Isolated Event

When my physical life began to be known and perceived as part of an over-all continuum, then all the differences grew into a unity of awareness, where the space between unbounded consciousness and material existence found a delightful common ground. There is no real difference between pure-awareness, its knowledge make-up, cosmic, heavenly and personal levels of existence. How they are interwoven as one phenomenon is really discovered to be our awakening process. The Self-aware human being has a see-through, know-through and hear-through relationship with all these interacting layers of consciousness and with the all-mighty powers of universal and cosmic goings-on.

Our relationship with nature is obviously vital; we function within the benefits of nature since we have to breath, eat and walk on Earth. The whole organizational components of nature—fire, water, earth, air, space—and how they combine into and nurture the human body and life in general is also closely tied to the experience of awakening. Awakening is not an isolated event. I experience that the divine and earthly layers of my consciousness arises from nature’s activity within my consciousness. The physical and heavenly organizations of nature are the driving forces that create our hearts, minds, bodies, societies, worlds and galaxies. They are all aligned with our individual awareness. Physical/ material life is often called the surface value of consciousness, but this is part of one continuum of togetherness. I do not experience a surface separate from any other layer of my awareness. It does not take Self-awareness to realize that we are part of nature, but it does takes Self-awareness to realize that the structures of nature are the wholeness of our mind and heart. Perceiving and watching the spontaneous transformation of universal awareness into our daily awareness and into our celestial and cosmic values is the progressive story of our lives. It is the subject of the rise to enlightenment.
