Recognition Is The Key !
Recognition is the key to understanding who we are and what we are at the deepest level. If humanity's problem is basically unconscious conditioned mental patterns that we have inherited for generations, that are buried in our subconscious, bringing those patterns and compulsive thoughts to the surface and recognizing them is extremely important. It is in the recognition of those patterns that the new awareness, or should we say a deeper awareness that is not part of the pattern, emerges. Therefore any spiritual practice, whether it is based on bodywork such as yoga,or different types of meditation, or spiritual reading or contemplation is designed to help us recognize. Recognition is like a spiritual shower that allows us to wash ourselves clean, or scrape ourselves clean of the obscurations that the ego has covered us up with. Another name for this recognition or scraping is the word Christ, and or Krishna. They come from the same root. Their meaning is to scrape. The Presence, Stillness, Conscious awareness within us that his divine, is there all the time. It is not something we need to strive for or become in the future. Spiritual development should not be looked on through the eyes of the egoic consciousness. We will never receive a diploma in the future proclaiming our enlightenment. Enlightenment or awakening is a continuous process of uncovering or unmasking that which makes us unconscious and unaware of our own divine nature. Everyone ultimately is already enlightened, yet not fully realized at this point. If we start from that place we can recognize the common ground of consciousness and its source that is within us all. This is the basis and the beginning of true compassion. This is the rising of divine compassion that has been waiting for thousands of years to boom and blossom on the face of the earth in all its glorious splendor. In order for you to participate in that process you simply need to recognize that which is real in you so that the illusion will fall away. From a different viewpoint,we could also say ,if you recognize that which is not real within you ,that which is real will emerge completely and fully. In a sense you don't need to do or become anything more than you already are at your essential level. Therefore recognition is not a doing, it is part of being, part of the waking up process as we transmute the egoic consciousness of separation, division, deception, hatred and other ego based emotions into unity, clarity, compassion, joy, and even ecstasy. We were created for joy and ectasy!!!! Ultimately when we live from being which is our essential nature, we should experience the peace, joy, and even dramatic ecstasy emerging from the One Life that we all are at the deepest level. When this happens for all humanity, we indeed will be living in and on and new heaven and earth. This will be the time when all the ancient spiritual prophecies become fulfilled. When life itself wakes up from the illusion of form identity, and knows itself as pure conscious awareness ,or Divine Awareness. Awareness becoming aware of itself. We are all, everyone of us, part of that waking up process. That's rejoice and be glad!!!.
