We have acquired habitual ways of being without awareness throughout our lives. The world we live in now values intellect, yet thinking without awareness is madness in human existence.
Most of us live life unaware of the inner essence and too busy looking for external sources to feed the identity we have attached ourselves to, running from one disappointment to another in utter chaos. It’s the same dysfunction that manifests and multiplies to destroy the very thing we need; awareness.
Any unchecked desire for wanting more external validation, attention, love, material attachments is the very thing that keeps us chained. In a world of role-playing personalities, mental and emotional diseases have reached epidemic levels and we are witnessing suffering on a deep level.
What is awareness?
It’s the capacity to see our shadow aspect within our existence. Awareness is the awakening of the observer within us. It’s available to all and just like any other skill, it needs the practice to get a good grip on.
According to spiritual teachers of our time, awareness is bringing the observer into our lives to observe oneself from within. Awareness is the ability to observe our thoughts, actions, motives, behaviour and attached identity to the world we identify ourselves with.
As the levels of awareness increase, we begin to let go of the identity crisis, let go of the need to be validated, let go of hunting for love and begin to discern, respect and appreciate life. As our awareness expands, one day just like that, humility, courage and wisdom births from within giving us a whole new perspective of existence.
Love and Gratitude
“Once the self-illusion is seen through, the awakening process will unfold whether we are actively contributing to the process or not.”
