Awareness is a growing process

[Guest guest]

Hello Stephen,

I am only suggesting that there is more then

just " one " way of experiencing this and I do also include the slow

gradual development of awareness as another option that many take.

It's just not the only option!

 

What would have happened " if " we did anything different we cannot

really rely on as that path wasn't taken. But you did have to be the

person you were at that time. A person ready to experience what you

experienced. So in that sense your entire life was a preparation for

that development.

 

In the stream of expressed consciousness there is gradual

acquisition of awareness which will depend on ones own understanding

of temporal dynamics or the understanding of time. I am only trying

to place it with in the linear equation many use at this time as a

measurement of progress.

 

Betsy has a habit of writing in an absolutist format. " It is this

way. " or " It must be that way " or " There is no other way " and I do

not want people to feel locked in to a format because someone said

so in an authoritative manner. She is having her experience and it

is at the same time unique to her and common to others. Lots of

folks get kriyas doesn't mean that you MUST get them to have an

awakening. Or for an experience to be authentic.

 

Same goes for the idea that surrender, or awakening, or awareness is

done " this way " and if you don't do it that way then it isn't

authentic.

 

There are other ways to achieve the same goals. And we practice many

of them here. - my take on it - chrism

Talking as someone who had a spontaneous awakening, I

can agree with you Chrism, I had no faith, did not

believe in God, yet I had a revelation / vision and in

one afternoon my whole life was changed. I was a drug

addict at the time also, not clean living at all.

The only thing I practised was unconditional love and

forgiveness (without really knowing they were deamed

as a practice!!) I was just trying to be a good

person.

 

That was quite spontaneous and earth changing for me.

 

I also had a spontaneous energetic event when I

returned from Lhasa, my whole body turned to light and

I felt surrender and felt the egoless state, like I

was going to ascend , it came out of no where, and

I've never had it since. I had just smoked a spliff

also but that didnt stop it.

 

Not many rules there to follow...ha ha ha

 

Love Elektra x x x
