Notes on Waking Up

The underlying process of waking up is the removal of anything and everything that is in the way or interferes with it, remembering that the true and natural human state is this place. The rest is a trick, a lie, an illusion, a trap, a prison, etc.

We need to remember who we are. We are Divine and our natural state of being is wholeness, perfection, health, prosperity, peace, joy, love, connectedness, oneness, etc.

We move back and forth between remembering and forgetting, between expansion and contraction, between love and fear. The path is about spending less time in the place of forgetting, contracting and fear and more time in the place of remembering, expansion and love.

Why is this so difficult to grasp or to put into words? Why is it so difficult to experience at will? It is what we all know exists, what we search for and long for but often miss. When we do find it, for whatever brief period, we rejoice; when it’s gone, we feel devastated. This is why people use drugs and alcohol—they are looking for this sensation or place of being in the flow ... this place of joy and bliss and connectedness. Drugs and alcohol simulate it, but it’s not nearly as good as the real thing, and when you come down from a drug high you are even farther from the real thing. It can become a vicious circle with the only escape being one or more of the above paths at work in your life.

The place is the place where miracles and healing and manifestation happen. To be human and remember your Divinity is about as good as it gets—it’s like being in love with life.

When someone is in this place it affects everyone around him/her. They can feel the energy because that person has tapped directly into Source and has become a clear channel for that energy. It is electric and intoxicating.

To access this Source requires nothing more than clearing the channel and removing whatever is in the way physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, energetically, etc.

This will allow us to access this Source more at will rather than randomly.

Sometimes it seems so random. I’ve worked hard for years with all the techniques, but lately it just seems to happen without anything specific preceding it, as if I’m just finding the location and then the channel opens up.

Years ago, my son said he believed that there are two “earths” — one is REAL and the other is a simulation or game (the matrix). There are doors and escape hatches from the matrix earth into the REAL one, and perhaps we slip into it when we dream or meditate or just randomly have a peak experience. But then we always come back into the matrix—the limited earth, the painful earth, the challenging earth.

Finding the doors to the REAL earth is the key to a better life. Death is one door, but there are many, many other doors, and within this false earth, there are clues everywhere about how to access the REAL one. It’s tricky and requires lots of work and removal of the veils that we’ve been led to believe are real, especially our own programming and personality.

When we remember who we are, we automatically have access to the REAL earth.

But remembering isn’t easy; luckily there are lots of catalysts around that can help us open those doors of awakening to the Truth.
