The Journey, part 1 of 3
We certainly live in remarkable times. As the talk has shifted from a coming or dawning age to the age
being here, there has been a huge surge in awakenings. I know a lot of people are still saying its
coming, but the better of those are saying the change is underway. Its now.
If youve read this blog much, you know that I refer to 3 mayas or illusions, the individual, the
universe, and Gods. I have also referred to the three values of ego, the 3 am-egos.
The 3 wakings are breifly described here.
Adyashanti and Loch Kelly had a remarkable conversation, discussing what takes place after first
awakening on the way to Unity or Oneness. The DVD is called Journey After Awakening.
Certainly not everyone will mirror that process or relate to the terminology, but its very useful to have
that understanding of the process. Without that, many people struggle with what one author calls the
deliverance, a period of adapting to a new state of being. There can be a struggle when the ego tries to
reassert but if the process is understood, the drama can be minimized. Just be aware to be loose with
the concepts as reality is never how we conceive it and ideas can be a barrier to being.
Without that, waking can be quite challenging. The story of Suzanne Segal is a case in point. She
literally fought the experience for years, preventing her from enjoying the benefits and holding her in
emptiness. Curious, given her background. But of course, the idea or understanding of something is
never the same as being it.
Its also worth reminding the reader that enlightenment is not a goal, it is a process. It does have
certain key points, but like graduating from school, there was a process to get there and a further
process to apply the studies. When one arrives, we discover the path was not to enlightenment but
rather just begins there, just as life may seem to begin once we finish school.
Adyashanti refers to a honeymoon people sometimes have before the internal debate begins. But that
debate or deliverance is not necessary. Not everyone has it. It rather depends on how much work
youve done towards clearing prior to awakening. If you still carry the baggage, there is more likely to
be some work to do to clear the ego shrapnel. Only now the trash is more conscious and we find we
cant play the same mind games on our self for long.
So there is a period of awakening, then a period of establishing. A kind of time of being awake, but not
quite awake. Some value awake, some value wakening. At some point, in a few days or a few years, we
will move fully into the awakening and become Buddha, residing in silence and bliss whatever the
outside storm.
