What is Realization?

[sound]

For me, realizations are about simply revealing what is ... and then, like what has has been mentioned already, the interpretations are 'made' ...

**Can you please clarify what you mean by 'choice of intention' Tzu, when you revisit this thread?

Real-ize = make real.

We realize what we become aware of.
Spiritually, we realize the truth of being as we become aware in it.
We are Self Realized when we are fully aware in this universal Truth as one's own being.

How do we make something real? Is it just by becoming aware of it?

It is not the atman, mind or soul that realises, it is the eternal stream of divinity, flowing through all of that which recognises itself in its disguise.

I feel that realizations cross all 'seeming' divisions pete ... even when we are 'in denial' we are still aware, in one sense, of what we 'realize' lol ...

Sorry sound, and thank you for causing me to clarify, I am speaking of the final realisation, not the general ones we come across as we progress.

Hi Kate: "choice of intention": we choose our 'way' of interacting with Life, our 'way' is our intention.. i.e.: the public figure that donates to charity, appearing a certain 'way', but the motive is to avoid tax penalties, to extract wealth from the system, and to use those dubious gains to traffic in slavery, so.. the "choice of intention" is not apparent, but clearly a 'choice', as the more acceptable 'way' is a ruse for a more 'harmful' way.. the issue, for me, is a constant awareness of purpose and intention, in myself and with others.. keenly aware of how subtle shifts in either affect my 'direction'..

Be well..

I think the problem associated with realizations come when I try to package them as experience. I see the urge to try to grasp them and associate with them supporting a seperate sense of "I".
So in many ways they go from clarity to an attempt to support who I think I am.

Hi James: What is consistent in your statement, and what is inconsistent? You are clearly aware that you exist as an individuated "I", note the number of times you reference your 'self-awareness' ("I"), but.. there is only a single reference to the "I" you try to believe you 'think' you are, the 'inconsistency'..

Be well..

Is there a 'final' realization pete, in this infinite universe?

Kind of a cheap, unintelligent shot at my deepest thoughts/feelings/expressions/questions, just to further your cause.
You're better than that Tzu.
