Awakening to Existence

One of many perspectives: We get to be conscious that we exist. Imagine not being conscious
of your own existence like being in a dreamless sleep. No drama, no story, no thoughts, and no objectivity.

Coming out of a diffused state into a more constituted formulated state, as form follows function, purpose
can be applied. Not that and ambiguous diffused state does not have its purpose.

Life is not logical, at best it is paradoxical. We look for concreteness in a sea of flowing change. Something
to hold on to when very little can be grasped. For most faith in their own beliefs is all they have. Creation is
and expression with a need to express itself.

Interpretation of experience feeds the storyline, leaving drama seemingly present throughout existence.
Silence allows us to leave the drama and enter into and expanded state. Less myopic and more inclusive
of a larger picture. From that vantage point life is not and emergency nor is it a competition.

Labeling sensations seems to be what we call understanding. We know things by the labels we place on them.
Physical existence is fraught with name and form, but names are also given to the formless.

Awakening to the dynamic that we have the ability to awaken. Awaken from what? A dreamless sleep or a
sleep filled with dreams. Calling it something gives us a handle that we think we can grasp. Grasping and letting
go seems to be what it’s all about.

While it will change, it really never started nor will it ever end. We travel in concentric circles, like respiration,
taking a breath in and letting it out, contracting and expanding in absolute stillness. The only thing which freaks
out is that which we call “ego.”

“All the power that ever was or will be is here now.” Nothing is hidden from us, rather we are the ones hiding.
We wake up to what is and has always been. There is no judgment, trust the process of life it is completely safe.

There is no place to go; its’ all happening right where you are at. When you go there, that there for you will
become another here. Its’ always here and it is always now. The rest of it is illusive, a moving picture show that
we get to participate in. Don’t let your narrative drive you crazy.

The Ra Material states that in higher densities all the paradoxes have a solution.

Leo on Actualized.org says that Reality is Infinite Imagination. We've just imagined our whole life and history. We've really been where we are for eternity. When we remember something, we're just imagining it.

Makes sense to me that all paradoxes can be reconciled.
Hermetic philosophy also says that everything is created
in the mind of the all. I also embrace that our true selves
is projecting our existence here on Earth.

When we say that we are created in God's image, it may
mean that we are created in God's imagination.
The likeness being on the inside and the image on the outside.

In every out-of-body experience I have ever had, looking
back on this human life seemed like reviewing a faint dream.
Human life did not appear to be real, or the out-of-body
experience appeared to be more real than human life.

Awakening to Existence

‘Awakening to’ happens upon ‘disassociating from’.

Exiting both stagnating and anticipating leaves us with what ... what but receptive presence free of the binding glue manifesting as identity, patterns of thought and memory.

We become empty, so to speak. Empty and magnetised. Free flowing in an orientation devoid of resistance.

The magnetism unifies our consciousness with ineffable bliss in permanence. The bliss becomes a permanent embodiment of our being.

Awakening continues, our renewal being unending. But now the fulcrum is bliss. It is this bliss connection, this becoming which we may say is inner alignment and dynamic stillness.

As for enablements as they unfold ... we view them differently now, nonchalantly though with wonder simply because being empty, we as in what we were, are not. So to whom comes these abilities? Or we may say, we no longer prefer one coordinate in space over another.

Letting everything go back to emptiness, back to life, existence..ah yes...

It’s definitely all here and now..

Thank you very much for sharing this; it is very poetic and beautiful, and also smacks of truth as I have come to know it.
Bliss, or love, is so highly attractive, in fact it can be irresistible. The analogy "like a moth to a flame" is often used.
It is so incredibly sweet, intoxicating, and awesomely overwhelming to the heart and mind consciously returning to our
pure source.

Emptiness yes, but also filled with pure divine presence, having let go of all that has been synthesized.
Thank you for your sharing here and now.

RETURNING HOME,
By a Confucian Wisdom-keeper, Tu Weiming

"Your vital energy is returning to the source.
Like the flowing stream returning to ocean.

Heaven is our Father, Earth is our Mother,
All people are our brothers and sisters, and all
things are our companions.

In this gentle peaceful journey, you are forming
one body with heaven and earth. Entrust yourself
in the transforming and nourishing care of the
cosmos. Listen to the voice of love in silence.
You have heard the way; Return home in peace."

When I speak of emptiness..
I am aware of completeness..

I very rarely use the term divine, but it fits the many names ‘presence’ is referred as..
