Awakening Consciousness

What is the process of the awakening of consciousness?  Is there a single most important element in one's awakening?  Do we awaken like coming out of a dream all at once, or gradually over time start to have deeper and deeper experiences with God and Truth?

For me the awakening has come in layers.  A critical element in my own journey was the awakening out of what I call the "lie bubble".  This lie bubble is the social agreement we have made to support a particular reality and not to question it, and even to deny those personal and verifiable experiences that do not fit in that definition. 

What is so exciting is that we are currently at a moment when many people have had one layer of the lie bubble dramatically exposed.  Corruption is being brought to the light and people are having the blinders removed from their eyes.  This period of revalation of Truth will be quite jarring for many.  Some who have felt an uneasiness with what was presented to them, and who have longed to understand the true purpose of their existence, will greet these revelations with relief.  Finally, I now understand, they will think.  But now what? 

This next process is just as important, it requires self-compassion and patience.  Once I see the lie, it can leave me with questions. What can I do about it?  Where do I go from here?  How do I navigate my way to a new understanding of the world without going into a state of total hopelessness and despair.

There are many traps within this stage of the process of awakening. There will be the desire to tell everyone, and when the truth falls on deaf ears, discouragement can set in.  This loss of hope is a trap. 

The important next step is to start to explore within.  In meditation and prayer I can ask myself, Why am I here?  What is this all about?  I can even ask why we are experiencing this lie.   If I am open, answers will come.

I am currently taking a course by Roland McCraty of the Institute of HeartMath.  Our second session was all about intuition.  There is a powerful exercise they suggest in the HeartMath Institute to bring a question or concern to the intuition.

This process of working with the intuition is a powerful technique for tuning into a deeper understanding of why we are here.  I cannot receive this guidance from others, I must have a deep understanding from my own being.  We all have our own unique life paths and purposes.  Learning to direct attention to the higher self, or the larger self as Roland would call it, is the most effective way of knowing right action and solution.
