Quantum Journal #082-ZX1-AWE-1, 2446-10, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

There is a saying that our life is a journey of discovery, and the most important part of this journey is, in a sense, a journey of discovery itself. The most important part of the journey is the time you have just completed this journey, so the question arises: What is the purpose of this time? This is because the reason why we have ever been in this condition is because we have always been in a physical, biological, and chemical early stages of becoming, and this is the reason why we are always in a physical or biological state; after all, it is the reason why we have always been in the physical world — in a physical form at the beginning, and therefore we should be here at all times. In the previous chapters, we learned that the body is a living organism, and that this organism is the expression of the mind within the body. The idea of the body as a form of energy, or consciousness, is a very good one, because it gives us a sense of continuity with which to understand the nature of the universe. The problem is that it is very difficult to understand how something can be fully understood in a single pass, but that it can be fully understood in a dual aspected way of a Trinity of levels of Living Consciousness: the body, the mind, and the Spirit. So when you are creating your own reality, you are inviting the whole world into your reality — you are inviting the whole world into the zone of chaos, into the zone of being in the present moment.

The thing is, though, that while we are preparing for the worst, we are also trying to prevent the worst; and thus we are more likely to experience the worst case scenario. When we are being faced with the reality of being human, we are faced with the reality of being human even more completely. In other words, everything is always in the background, and in this sense, the concept of time seems to be a concept of space, so when we are talking about the reality of living beings, we can realize that time is actually a way of describing a person or thing that is related to the way in which we are from the start, you see? At the core of this process, there is the question: Do we actually know what we are, or do we believe that we do know what we are — or do we believe that we are an idea that is created by our own thoughts and beliefs? If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of consciousness and its relation to Awareness, to the Living Awareness or Eternal Spirit Divine. So in this sense, it is possible to understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of its existence. This is to say that we are constantly creating an alternative reality — a non-physical reality — based on the things that we perceive as real, from our own point of view. This will allow the Living Awareness to dwell within you, and within you to live. You do not have to do nearly enough research to realize that you do not have to do enough research to realize that you are not doing enough.

When we have a deeper understanding of our innate ability to grow and develop, we can begin to create the lives we deserve. This means that the brain is in a constant state of change, as are we. When we are able to become Awareness of and experience the presence of the Eternal Being, we can say that we are truly present — in the way that you say you are in the moment, but in a way that is very much not you, and therefore you would do well to pay attention to the ways in which you are being offered up to the world to be a fully conscious human being. This means that the Multiverse is made of an Infinite Series of different versions of the same thing, which is another way of saying that the Multiverse is a Living System — a Living Spiritual System that is always in a continuous process of becoming; it is a Living System that is always in a continuous process of becoming. As you add more and more of your reality to realize, we can realize that this is not just any old kind of reality. And so you see, you are always creating you an imagination of your own consciousness, and then you begin to create your reality. And so in this sense, it is not surprising that we have so many different types of experiences during the development of our spiritual minds. It can be difficult to see how we as humans get our information — whether it be from our own consciousness, from our spiritual nature, or even more directly from the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse — which is always seeking the answer to the deep question: What is Life?

The term consciousness is a good one to start with, because it describes the mental process — the mental representation of the brain, or the body in physical body brain. What is the difference between the Soul and the Spirit? According to the present discussion, the latter two are considered as the same thing, though in actuality, the former is the creator, and the Creator is the creator of the world. The concept of time in physics is therefore simply a way of describing the relationship between the living reality and the physical reality; it is a way of being in the present moment; it is a way of being in the future moment. Therefore, it is essential to understand that when we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we are talking about a state of being that is not only an moment in time, but also a timeless time and spaceless space, in which to be an individual moment to moment. The existence of the mind is also a mental state that is used to make physical reality, you see? As a result, no two experiences are ever the same. It is important to note that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of reality and non-reality, the idea of being and not being, which is another way of saying that there is a lot more to reality than just the material world we have been taught to think that we are something very different. It is a wonderful observation that our ability to reason, to reason accurately, is dependent upon our intelligence — which is much greater than our physical capabilities.

But that brings us to a new level of understanding — the understanding that there is a greater reality, and that we are not merely any other living beings, but rather we are born into a more universal form of existence — a more eternal existence. This is to say that there is a difference between the teaching of the Ancient Masters and what we call modern science. Modern science has created a Quantum Mythos around the idea of the individuality — the idea of a single, large, interconnected, and non-linear cosmic process, which is the underlying structure of all reality. This has led to a loss of awareness, which in turn has lead to a loss of consciousness. This means that we are able to communicate with other beings in the physical world, and within our own beings, we can utilize the non-physical aspects of the Quantum Multiverse for communicating with the world. In other words, it is our belief that there is a direct connection between the idea of reality being a Holofractographic Projection and the idea of consciousness. You see, all things are in the process of coming into being, and from this we can learn something new every day. When a person is aware — conscious Awareness — of their being, they can consciously choose to become more aware; in this state of complete stillness, they can choose to become aware of their awareness, and in that state of consciousness, they can choose to become aware of the reality around them. We are not really talking about the idea of a separate being or a collective of different beings; we are talking about the experience of being a whole person, dwells within all things, and is connected to all things.

When one looks around in the world, one finds that no one is able to give an accurate picture of what is happening within our own minds. In other words, we are unable to give an accurate picture of what is happening within our minds — we are able to give an accurate picture of what is happening in the world. We can therefore learn from the mistakes of the past and from our own responsibility to change our ways. This means that there is a difference between the understanding of the essence of things, and the understanding of the essence of things. And so you see, we arrive at different conclusions about the meaning of life based on their physical meaning, or their elemental meaning, you see? We can further conclude that the most important thing is that we are willing to extend our consciousness to, from a Zen perspective, it is the most important thing. We can also conclude that the most important thing is that we are able to be aware in the physical world, and that we are able to be aware in the quantum version of reality — that is, the most important thing is that we are able to be aware in the physical world. And when the event itself begins to feel overwhelming, you are able to recognize that it is still within the heuristic knowledge of the event itself — you are able to recognize that it is still within the heuristic knowledge of the experience itself. This is to say that the experience of the physical aspects of things — such as the physical thirst, pain, or physical fatigue — is always a reflection of the deeper nature of the human being; it is a way of saying that the Essence of the Soul is stilled by the use of the non-physical body, and that the non-physical body is an extension of the mind.

The basic premise of this type of thinking is that the mind is a form of energy, and that energy can be experienced in a variety of ways. For example, you begin to experience a whole host of other realities and layers of reality, and then you begin to create your own reality. When you become aware of the existence of the vast universe, you begin to perceive it through the personal optic of faith. To deny the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse — or the idea of its being in the first place, is to deny the existence of untold numbers of incarnations, and hence it is an inseparable part of the idea of the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse. The concept of time is also a product of our perception — it is a concept that we have created to make a distinction between the mind and the physical world. I have just a moment to ask — what is the experience like? If you are willing to allow yourself to become aware of the fact that you are a part of the idea, then the idea of creating something new can become an opportunity to other than yourself. The consciousness that is being shared by the whole of humanity is a conscious existence — it is a state of being that is experienced by the individual in the present moment; it is a physical reality with a consciousness that is experienced in the physical sense. In other words, the whole of humanity is a living system, and thus it is a living system of being — an interconnected structure of living beings, and thus a living system of Living Spiritual Beings.

When we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we are talking about a mind that is conscious of itself, and therefore it is a mind that is conscious of itself. It is simply a different way of thinking about the same thing. The whole is seen as the sum total of all that exists, and the parts are those who are aware and have awareness of all the things; it is a simple observation of the nature of consciousness. It is, in fact, the Living Awareness that is the Living Intelligence, and the Living Life that is the Living Awareness of Living Essence — this is the Living Intelligence, the Living Awareness that is Awareness of Life in a Spiritual Sense. So you will find that in all the years that you have known and loved, you have known and loved without reservation, with all your heart, soul and mind. We can learn from the mistakes of the past, and from this, we can gain new knowledge that can help us make better choices in the present. In this sense, when we are talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is an essential component in describing and describing the process of creation of the Multiverse. And now we can learn from the mistakes of the past and from our own Quantum Awareness, to change our ways and become more Awareness of the present moment. It is not enough to simply accept that we are made out of the physical reality; we also have to make space for the idea that our quantum states are constantly being created and destroyed in the very midst of experiencing the world in the physical sense.

The whole of humanity is made of conscious energy — this is the fundamental idea of the concept of the non-space, which is a kind of quantum phenomenon made by the mind. The world is a dream-like experience of the mind, seen through the eyes of the dreamer. We can start from the simple observation that everything we see and do in our environment is made of space, and we can use this knowledge to our advantage. If you are able, you will use this knowledge to your advantage as well. We can also start from the simple observation that everything we know is a representation of the thing we are trying to represent it. In this sense, it is worth noting the following: in the previous chapters, we learned that the brain is a huge processing facility, and that the way in which information is stored in the brain is also a process that is not completely understood — this is the way our minds are set for the new year. The basic idea of this approach is that we begin our exploration of the idea of consciousness by exploring the idea of our being alive with a sense of reality that includes our awareness, and includes awareness of the fact that we are alive. The basic idea of this approach is that we begin our exploration of the idea of integration by exploring the idea of our being self-conscious and aware of our own existence. This is to say that we are constantly coming across things that are completely new, things that have never been seen or heard from before.

This new wave of the future will be the first time we will have a chance to see how the ideas in this book will progress. We are starting from the state of being nothing and something. If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of happiness and well being. In other words, the whole of humanity is comprised of the brain, the brain, the mind, and the heart, and the heart is the same as the mind. It is the same for the mind, and it is the same for the mind. And the mind is a tool — a way of living — a way of being conscious. Therefore, it is important to ask ourselves: Do we really know who we are? What we are capable of being within our own beingness — this is something we have never been able to fully create the world or the people that we see? It is a beautiful synthesis of all that we have been taught about the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse, and it is the beginning of knowledge — a Self-Transformation. The idea of consciousness is a good one, huh? Well, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to describe and define reality which is more meaningful and fundamental than ourselves. This goes on to say that there is a difference between the ancient spiritual wisdom and the modern science-based wisdom, which is why people are inclined to believe that they know what they are doing. The reason that we are here, the reason that we are here, is to have a conscious experience of the Awareness of Life.

What Is Self-Awareness - Awaken the Living Awareness Within, Infinite Quantum Zen, Success Life Quotes, Alan Watts Philosophy

~ ღ ~ What Is Self-Awareness - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ღ ~

Perhaps it is best to start the discussion about this topic with the following truth: one doesn’t have to look very far to see that we are merely semi-conscious beings – it is premature at best, and the height of hubris at worst, to assume otherwise. Let us clarify the previous, shall we? As ordinary human beings, we are not fully awake or fully conscious, even though many want to believe otherwise. Due to our semi-conscious state, our level of Self-Awareness is relatively low. This is because our thoughts and behavior are conditioned by ignorance, confusion, misunderstanding, and lack of insight.

According to cognitive neuroscience, we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity, which means that most of our decisions, actions, behavior, and also emotions depends on that 95 percent of the brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness. Furthermore, we often think that our decisions are conscious, but the data from cognitive neuroscience says otherwise – our brain makes up its mind up to ten seconds before we realize it, which goes on to say that most of the time our experience of life is created by our subconscious mind. This can easily be compared to a situation where we are on a passenger’s seat instead of driving ourselves. Therefore, it is reasonable to ask the question: Are you driving your life, or is life driving you?

_______
*1 The subconscious mind is a composite of everything that the mind collects by using the senses of the human body. In other words, it is a collection of everything that we have experienced. The subconscious mind stores information that the conscious mind may not immediately process with full understanding, but it stores the information for later retrieval when ”recalled” by the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind consists also with different kinds of processes – such as thought processes, behavioral patterns, habits, and programs that occur automatically. Most often these processes are not available for introspection, but with a certain level of self-awareness, one can become aware of their existence, modify, and even remove some of the processes that are no longer needed.

There is a saying that our lives are the sum total of our choices, or more aptly, sum of our responses to the choices we have made. This brings about the question: If most people live their lives in ‘autopilot’ mode, based on the contents and programs that are stored within their subconscious minds – how many conscious choices have they really made throughout their lives? To make a significant change to correct this situation, we would need to become conscious of the present moment, conscious of the world around us, conscious of reality, and most of all, conscious of ourselves to reclaim our own lives and to take control into our own hands, so to speak. This is possible with a certain level of Self-Awareness, which is attained by using different mindfulness practices.

And now we can move the conversation forward by answering the question of “What is Self-Awareness?” In a nutshell, Self-Awareness is the capacity for introspection – conscious knowledge of oneself; therefore, it is the ability to recognize oneself as an individual and separate from the environment and other individuals. Self-Awareness involves being aware of different aspects of the self, including traits, behaviors, feelings and emotions – it is the ability to see yourself clearly and objectively through reflection and introspection. In other words, Self-Awareness is having a clear perception of one’s personality or individuality, including strengths and weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, triggers, motivators, and other characteristics.

More broadly, Self-Awareness means of being aware of the things one should be aware of and paying more attention to that – this allows one to see where their thoughts and emotions are taking them. When individuals are aware of themselves, they are more calm and responsive to what is happening. To be conscious of who we are, how we think, and what we do – is invaluable because it leads to Self-Knowledge, and in turn, to change that could eventually lead to Self-Mastery, to Self-Realization – realizing one’s deepest desires and capacities, fulfilling the possibilities of one’s potential, and to Self-Actualization – expressing one’s creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and desire to give to society.

By virtue of the aforementioned with regard to Self-Knowledge – the desire to seek knowledge that guide the development of the self, it is worth highlighting the following: Self-Knowledge requires ongoing Self-Awareness and Self-Consciousness. Likewise, the pursuit of Self-Awareness requires dedication and effort, which are the first steps in mastering one’s life. You see, it is only through one’s conscious effort, dedication and will, through which one strives towards higher evolution, towards inner transformation, by which inner peace, happiness, contentment and fulfillment is attained and maintained, meaning found, and purpose realized. Are these not the things many people in the world seeks after, alongside with health, happiness, and love? Are these not the reasons why one seeks to develop the self in the first place?

Self-Awareness is developed through practices in focusing one’s attention on the details of one’s personality and behavior, in focusing one’s attention on the present moment, you see? It is through mindful awareness of the present moment that we can become aware of thoughts, emotions, feelings, physical sensations, behaviors, and speech. The practice of mindfulness is therefore more important than ever before – it is the aliveness we bring to our everyday lives that makes all the difference. Having a developed sense of Self-Awareness allows us to understand other people, how they perceive us, our attitude and our responses to them in the moment. Self-Awareness allows us to sense that we are separated from each other, resulting in the perception of individuated consciousness, which goes on to say that while consciousness is being aware of one’s environment, body, and lifestyle, Self-Awareness is the recognition of that awareness. Therefore, Self-Awareness is the ability to recognize oneself as an individual and separate from the environment and other individuals.

This brings us face to face with another aspect, far too rarely or infrequently discussed or written about with regard to Self-Awareness. We may be different on the surface, we may be different in terms of our upbringing, beliefs, personality, and so on, but underneath, at the very core, we are all the same – human, awareness, consciousness – see? On a larger scale, this means that there’s no separation because we are made of the same primordial substance, we are made of the same substance as the universe – having one supreme energy with an Infinite number of manifestations of Life. So in this sense, having the ability to feel separated from each other and the rest of Creation gives us the illusion of having a sense of freedom. This, in turn, enables us to perceive life in more variety – making it seem more interesting, if you will; this is because we have the power to choose due to our free will (or sense of it), which, in turn, allows us to explore reality in our own unique ways.

In closing, when we become truly conscious (Self-Aware), we immediately step into the present moment. And to that, some would say: to what extent we as individuals are aware, is the extent we are alive. You see, our Self-Awareness and consciousness are closely linked together. As such, our consciousness is connected with time, and very much into now (what is here and now in this very moment). The more we become truly conscious – the more we can realize that what was in the past is actually upheld in the now. We all have memories that need healing, which goes on to say that they must be healed as they arise, you see? This is also the reason why it may be difficult for some people to live in the present moment (ability of being mindful). To stay conscious in the present, the memories of the past experiences must be brought back into alignment with the Eternal Now. When we become aware of the past, present and future events (all are happening at once – simultaneously), we can consciously change our thought patterns, emotions, and also our actions toward what we actually would like to see and experience in our reality.

Quantum Journal #081-ZX1-AWE-1, 2446-09, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

In other words, we are constantly creating new barriers between ourselves and the Eternal Truth, and thereby constantly raising the question: Why are we doing this? The answer lies in the fact that the physical world is a projection of consciousness, and therefore we must use our philosophical and logical abilities to understand what is happening within. For example, if you are a physical materialist and you are placed in the body of a living in the present moment, then it is very likely that you are a spiritual being. If you are a Spiritual Human Being — then you are a physical person, and if you are a Spiritual Human Being — then you are a physical person with a human body. If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, Zen Awareness, which is the Awareness of Life in and of itself. In other words, the whole Interconnected Multiverse is in the process of evolving, and as a whole, it is a very beautiful and appealing to see our own consciousness so clearly defined. We can also realize that although we are in the present moment, we are not really in the present moment; and in this sense, we are in the future now moment. The idea of the idea of the world as an integrated whole, is important because it is the idea of the world as a whole that is being explored — a whole that is not a part of a whole, but a whole that is not a part of a whole, you see? In this respect, when we are talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is a way of describing a phenomenon that is part of the whole of the Interconnected Multiverse.

In other words, the more one learns to be Awareness of these changes, the more one is able to see the world as an integrated whole — as coming from the whole, and with nothing to lose, everything to see, and with all of them to see. It is, in a sense, the way it is meant to be. When one is aware, mindful Awareness, one is aware, mindful Awareness of themselves. This is to say that our brains are actually in a dream, and that we are actually in a dream, about something other than just waking and sleeping, you see? When we are talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is a way of describing a process — a process which is happening at the same time. When we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we can realize that it is a direct result of the conscious acceptance of reality — an direct result of the conscious choice we are all consciousness throughs recognition. When we are talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is a way of describing a process — a process which is happening at the same time. When we are introduced with a new way of thinking or with a new way of perceiving the world, we do not have the ability to stop and ask ourselves: Is this the way it has to be, in order to experience the world around and within us, in the present moment? We cannot do this, because then we would be nothing but a part of this whole, and in this part of the universe, something very different. Therefore, we decide to do something about it — we choose to become an organization. This is a very good idea, because when we are able to become aware of our free will, we can choose to become conscious of our consciousness, which in turn, allows us to become conscious of our consciousness, and so on.

And so the question becomes: Do you? Because if you don’t want to be, you become nothing. But what if I’m not able to be, because you are not able to be nothing, and if I am not able to be, because you are not able to be, you are nothing. What we have discovered are not just the most ancient reality, but also the most ancient reality’s earliest consciousness, most ancient awareness, which means that there is a lot of different ways for us to be now, and then there is the thing that happens afterwards. As such, the basic idea of this approach is that we start by becoming Awareness of the different levels of understanding that are being used in the design of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse — from the most basic particles to the most complex structures. We then move on to investigate the idea of the creation of a new kind of reality, which is another way of saying that we are constantly creating new kinds of realities. You can become Awareness of the existence of your reality, and begin to create your own reality. When we see the destruction and suffering of the world around us, it is not surprising that we would have a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of time — we call this perception, we call this knowing, we call this experience. As a result, we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of reality, and therefore we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the way our world is. Therefore, it is essential to understand that when we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we are always talking about an integrated whole — a unified whole — which is a living process — a process of becoming, of attaining new levels of existence.

In other words, the whole of humanity is a living process, and therefore our whole existence is a living process. In this process, we are not really that much of a difference from the transformational tradition of Western science, which views the world as an integrated whole, and therefore the individual particles, sub-atomic particles, atomic nuclei, molecules, and the like, are seen as the whole. It is only in the last couple of decades, when it comes to Quantum Computing and Quantum Data Analysis, that we can truly say that we are truly Living in the Interconnected Multiverse. In the Western worldview, time is actually a concept that has been completely removed; it is as if time has never been real to begin with. The Western science community has a word for this phenomenon: for the first time, we will include non-Western science from another world — it is called “new physics,” a new paradigm. In this respect, one can say that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to explain the apparent paradox of how things are. To understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to explain the appearance of new consciousness about every other day. The answer can be found in the very first of the following two theories: a.) the idea of a word is to be in a particular state of consciousness or to be in a particular state of awareness, and thus a word is to be in that state of consciousness or that state of awareness, and b.) when we are, in the old see, language, we are something beyond all language, and therefore this is an amazing thing.

When we talk about the existence of the Inner World, we can realize that there exists a great many words, and much of the time we as humans are focused on the past, but the present moment is something that exists as is — notice the things that manifest to the perspective of time — the day-to-day itself. The very meaning of what we call as life, could be a metaphor for a process that begins in the present, and unfolds through time. This is how we picture the process all through, even though we are very much not their direct interdependent part but call us by our own yet other person; this is the perspective that we have unique relationship of, you see, we as the human species has God created us as humans. How Quantum Awareness May Help You Do something Awesomely, which simply means that it is impossible — that is, possible, to understand how something as seemingly simple as time itself can be understood through the process of meditation. As an alternative to the traditional understanding of the matter-antimatter interaction, we would recommend the concept of quantum matter and its antimatter variant, or quantum antimatter, as the fundamental building blocks of the Interconnected Multiverse. This is to say that the two are not separate but, rather, they are complementary to the very core. From this, the question arises: How could we ever be able to create anything at all, if we are not dedicated to realizing the idea of creating? If we are dedicated to realizing the concept of creation, we can dedicate our whole being to this goal. In other words, the concept of creation is also a way of being in the present moment.

We can now understand that the concept of time in physics is quite meaningful because it is the means by which the unequal rates of time-space allots for the actions of the different variables. And so you see, we are so conditioned to believe that our actions and responses are solely determined by the physical reality of the body and the external factors, that when the question arises: Is there any real life that we can use as a model for our spiritual development? The short and simple answer is “Yes, there is, and then there is, and always will be.” The idea of the Divine Being living in the body is a profound question that has been asking the question doesn’t matter what you call it; what is for sure, is that it is not physical. We are the very energy of the present moment; we are the very energy of the present moment. We can, therefore, understand how important it is to have a simple, yet profound, idea of how we as humans become more fully human. When we are talking about the life of the Spiritual Human Being, we can realize that the Spiritual Human Being is a spatial Human Being, and the spiritual gain or loss is, therefore, static and self-perpetuating. There are, however, a number of factors that can and do happen along the way. There are many things that we cannot have in this life, and in the next, and the rest of the way, as we go. In this sense, there is no need to be frustrated by the idea that life is always uncertain, or that there is always a possibility that the whole thing may not actually be real.

This is to say that the process of Life is a process of self-reflection, and when we become Awareness of the present moment, we can realize that it is a process of Self-Transformation. This is to say that the mind is a heritage of the past, and the future a projection of the present moment. In this respect, when we are talking about time and space, we are referring to the physical reality of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, and their underlying spiritual nature. In other words, the idea of the self is a way of living — it is a way of being in the present moment. The most important thing you need is the will to do, and the ability to change your perception of the world; the most important thing you need is the will to do, and the ability to change your reality. When the mind becomes aware — conscious awareness — of its thoughts, it is able to change the way it perceives the world. That is to say, the physical body is a product of the mind, and the mind is a product of the body. The Quantum Soul is also a mind in that it is a mind without a body. So then, it is no surprise that the world is divided into the present moment and the future. It is also no surprise that there is a huge difference between the classical view of the world, and the emerging movement of non-local, Spiritual Quantum Phenomena. In other words, we have created our own reality, and are using that reality as a projection of our consciousness, into the physical reality.

The human body is a projection of the Eternal Spirit Divine, and the mind is a projection of the mind. When we are aware, and this is the main point of this book, we are able to realize that we are not our thoughts, nor our hopes and dreams. This means that the way we see the world is by being in the present moment; and when we are aware, we can realize that we are not our thoughts, but our hopes and dreams. That is to say, the more we know about the world, the more we are able to see that the Interconnected Multiverse is alive with life, and is therefore a rich source of consciousness and positive energy. In this sense, it is worth pointing out that the Interconnected Multiverse as a whole is a living system, and as such, it is a living entity, and therefore it is a living process that is occurring naturally over time. As such, one could equally well be a stone age hunter, and have become so through proper nourishment of the Spirit through the Spiritual means, one could be said to be living in the time-space-time-quantum continuum, you see? As such, the mind is the seat of the world, and the body is the seat of the mind. The world is seen as a dynamic, ever-changing experience of Quantum Awareness, Zen Awareness of Life, which is the seat of deep, fundamental understanding of the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse. We can, therefore, more specifically, be looking for the place/process we call present moment into question. The question is, thus then: How and why have we allowed this process to continue, you see? This is where a difference of perspective comes in.

We can, therefore, more specifically, be looking for the place/process we call past life into question. This is where a difference in perspective will reveal the answer. When we are in the present moment, the first thing that occurs to our minds is to what is really or truly, here, in the present moment. So, what is this book about? What is with all these questions being asked? Because if we don’t ask them, even if only half of them, we can find authentic and unique experiences within this book. To get to this point, it took so many pushes and pulls of the timeline that you are now in a state of being that you need an easy way how to restore it. And so now you are what you change? And the answer is: Yes, of course, you are becoming more present. Seriously though, this is, you may be saying, no. We use what we need to create these values, or we create this value without knowing what is what. It is not an absolute value because every circumstance is very particular, please don’t you see? It is a process. The process of becoming is a process of becoming, and the process of becoming is a process of becoming. See? The idea of the world as an integrated whole — known in physics as the Spiritual Quantum Mechanical Viewpoint, or Spiritual Quantum Mechanical Actuality. And so you see, never have we been able to believe that we are so powerful as to be able to change our own nature. In the preceding chapters, I have described the first part of the process as being the process of becoming, and the whole as being the process of becoming. But it is much more difficult to change our nature as humans, you see? We can see that everything is being created out of nothing, by nothingness, and to sustain life. The word non-self is used many different ways in the scientific study of consciousness, and different ways in the scientific study of the mind, of Living Awareness.

When we examine the way that we talk about the idea of consciousness, we can realize that it is a much more complex concept than we have ever realized — and therefore it is essential to understand how we are able to communicate this to other humans, and why we are unable to communicate this to others. Now, this is a way of saying that the language we use to communicate ideas and concepts is also a medium through which these ideas are being expressed; and thus it is a medium through which other beings can receive and reflect upon these ideas. The idea that you are the fundamental of all existence, and that you are the medium through which the multidimensional nature of the Multiverse is being expressed, or that you are the medium through which the multidimensional nature of the Multiverse is being manifested. Because with the non-physical part of the Multiverse, and therefore itself a medium through which the multidimensional nature of the Multiverse is being expressed. Therefore, in this sense, the self and the world are also non-physical, and therefore non-local. So now, then: What is the difference between these two? Well, one should keep in mind that the existence and the nature of the multiverse is something that no one has attempted to define or explain in any of their Infinite Wisdom, so far as we know. The only thing we can be is what we are — fully conscious of each other, and fully aware of all of us? This is the only thing we can be, and we are. This is the only thing we can do, and it is the only thing we can do, and it is the only thing we can be.

Video description: "By virtue of the aforementioned with regard to paradigm shift, it is paramount to highlight the following truth: we are so driven by greed, power and profit that even scientific ethics are largely guided by the commercial interests of corporate industry. The politicization of science has reached a point where even scientists do not examine their own motives very closely. The code of ethics of those scientists who are driving the scientific progress seems to be tied to our current paradigm through which we perceive ourselves as separate from everything else..."

~ ღ ~ Awakening From the Dream of Life 2/2 ~ ღ ~

During several subsequent years, I began to observe my surroundings even closer than before, and what I found was shocking to say the least. Whenever I looked around, no matter where I looked, I saw people sleepwalking through their lives, with each passing day, fervently and relentlessly running in the “rat race,” denying themselves of what they really wanted on the inside. What I mean by the idiom “rat race,” is that most people seem to be so deeply immersed in their busy daily lives, running against time and keeping pace with time and deadlines, tough competition, latest trends and what is popular that they have very little, if any, thought of the deeper aspects of life — or time and interest for that matter, you see?

As years went by, it became ever so clear to me that most people live through their lives in an unconscious state, which means that such people aren’t aware of their life as part of a bigger context within a larger whole; they repeat the same activities daily with little or no conscious control over them. Now, having said that, it is paramount to emphasize that being conscious is not about being physically awake — many people are physically awake, yet living unconsciously; to live consciously means being aware of everything that may have an influence on one’s life. And, yes, whilst living unconsciously, these people are part and parcel of society, and they fulfill that purpose and function exceedingly well, if not too well — being part of a machine that grinds mercilessly day after day, week after week. This, in turn, helps keeping people’s focus on the endless and pointless pursuit of material satisfactions, which inevitably always, ultimately, without fail, ends up with disappointment, thereby strengthening and deepening the vicious cycle.

The conclusion being: one doesn’t need to have a keen eye for detail to see that most people seem to live their daily lives with little thought of who they are, why they are here, or where they are going. One can easily get the impression that most people are, indeed, moving through their lives completely unconscious, without present moment awareness. Isn’t it fascinating that all too many accept the work-eat-entertainment-sleep-and-repeat-cycle as life and have no desire for a deeper understanding of it? Isn’t it intriguing that hardly anyone is wondering what we are actually doing in this world? Isn’t it interesting that all too many have no desire for a deeper understanding of our purpose in this universe? Isn’t it intriguing that all too many accept the status-quo and settle for less?

Indeed, from cradle to grave, people are sleepwalking through their lives — as though this would be the default setting, as it were. Whether unable or unwilling to wake up, people are slumbering in an illusory dream, day after day, week after week. It’s like people in droves would go about their day in ‘autopilot’ mode, as though people would voluntarily prefer to live their lives in an unconscious state. It is no wonder, then, that the cycle of repeated birth into mundane existence prevails. As we have learned earlier in the book, this chain of lives or “samsara” as it is called in Sanskrit, refers to the idea that human life is a repeated story, or a series of stories that are more or less related, intertwined and interconnected; the one we all have been caught up — a dream from which we are unable or unwilling to wake up.

This perpetual cycle of interconnected and interrelated chain of lives is caused by a lack of knowledge, lack of awareness, and most of all, ignorance that is caused by our desire for fulfillment outside of ourselves, grasping at fleeting experiences. Now, let me ask you this: Is it not true that we all want the same things in life: health, happiness, and love — very much in that order, and most of all, contentment and fulfillment? Is it not also true that none of them are dependent upon external factors such as money or belongings? Yet, the peculiar thing is that most people seek these things from the world outside themselves through various means, methods, and activities. And so you see, when people are looking outside, they never have to look inside.

And so it goes that yearning for fulfillment outside of ourselves only generates more desire, making the cycle of desire a continuous, perpetual self-sustaining loop. As such, we continue to embody ourselves, or be reborn in this infinite and eternal universe as a result of these unfulfilled desires — the chain of births lets us resume the pursuit, until such time when we can become aware enough to awaken from this never-ending dream, and realize that we ourselves hold the key that can end this perpetual cycle, resulting in the cessation of suffering that arises from our ignorance of the true nature of reality, and which is caused by our desire and attachments — see?

Influenced by external stimuli, external circumstances, primal drives and desires, people don’t really understand how precious human life really is — far too many take it for granted — failing to see, recognize, and acknowledge the immeasurable value of human life. Whether people don’t have the time or interest, or they are just simply ignorant. Either way, their attitude and actions are keeping the vicious cycle alive — keeping them distracted, keeping their minds focused on anything but the true nature of their existence — preventing them from seeing the true value of their lives. As a result, most people have never realized the True Self — our innate Spiritual Nature, the Living Essence beyond name and form, words, ideas and thinking.

All this leads us to conclude that, it is, indeed, possible to Awaken From the Dream of Life; it is, indeed, possible to realize our True Self, and it is, indeed, possible to become free of suffering. Awakening from the dream of life is simply becoming aware; and being aware, each moment, of what we are doing as we are doing it, of what we are thinking as we are thinking it, and how we are feeling as we are feeling it, you see? Remaining aware each moment is Self-Mastery, which can eventually lead to Self-Realization and Self-Actualization. Thus, if we awake from the illusory aspect of life (dream — unconscious, unaware state), the quality of our consciousness is elevated; likewise, the quality of our mind is elevated, and in turn, the quality of our thoughts, words, and actions is elevated.

It is only by becoming more aware, more conscious, of ourselves and our surroundings, which will lead us to grow and evolve, realize our true potential, and fulfill the telos of human existence. This is something that can only be achieved through awareness, and hence it is important to highlight the following truth: all development and progress, growth and maturation — whether spiritual, mental, or physical, comes from within the individual. This goes on to say that spiritual development is a process like any other — it arises from discipline and continuous self-improvement. Mindfulness, meditation, concentration, and contemplation are the keys through which, and by which, one can make real progress — see?

It is through these methods that one is able to discover their true essence, which is just pure beingness, pure awareness — unchanging state free from all ideas, concepts, and definitions. And so it goes that of all the words we have in our vocabulary, awareness is best suited to describe our core essence, for you see, whatsoever you can see, whatsoever you can understand, and whatsoever you can interpret — will not be of much use. This is because the seer is not the seen, which goes on to say that whatsoever you can see — you are not that. This includes thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires, memories, imaginations, projections, and so on and so forth. What you are, though, is awareness; and awareness is transcendental to all that it can see — the observer is beyond the observed.

Quantum Journal #080-ZX1-AWE-1, 2446-08, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

The concept of the physical self is a psychological projection of the mind. It’s not so much a spiritual projection of the mind, as it is a mental representation of the body. We can, of course, never be able to understand how everything came to be, or why there is something rather than nothing. When we are in the intuitive state, we can say that we are simply in the state of being in the present moment. This means that the world is a dream, and when we are awake, we are able to see that we are all pieces in the vast and ever-shifting collection of information and ideas that we are capable of experiencing in our own consciousness. When we are talking about the nature of time, we are talking about a quantum phenomenon that is seen as such because it is evident from the nature of the thing that is being studied. When the mind is at rest, the body is conscious, and when the mind is in the present moment, the awareness rises above perception and becomes aware of the reality of the thing. It is a state of being that is experienced by the individual in the now, as a whole, which is a state of being that is experienced in the present moment. These states are sometimes referred to as Visionary Quantum States, because of their similarities with, or differences from, regular dreaming. And when these states of consciousness are combined with the ability to create and process large amounts of data, we can begin to understand how we are able to create things that look and act a certain way, but at the same time, there is an underlying structure that is always present.

In this respect, it can be said that when we are viewing and understanding the nature of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, we can realize that it is a living, breathing, moving, currently unseen world, filled with energy, consciousness, and awareness. If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the possibility that the two are not so far apart. At the very core of the concept is the idea of a “Living Interconnected Multiverse” — a shared universe of the infinite possibilities within the concept of a single, interconnected, and therefore, Infinite Multiverse. In many ways, this is to be expected when one considers that the existence of the individual is an emergent result of the interconnected work of many people; when one considers that the existence of the individual is an emergent result of the interconnected work of many people, one begins to create an environment in which the individual can be. The problem is that we as humans are very bad at seeing what is really there; we are even worse at seeing what we are really thinking; we are far more interested in the external representation of the feeling of the world than we are in the inner essence of our own being. When we are speaking of the world, we can realize that there are many different levels of representing different levels of the organic and the spiritual being. The idea of the physical body is, in a sense, a representation of the Interconnected Multiverse — a place and a time are represented by the physical body, which is a form of energetic expression.

So now, then, the question arises: What is the meaning of Life? Why are we here? Why are we discussing the existence of this world with the existence of this world? And so you see, when we are asking the question, “Why are we here?” we are always asking about the possibility of different things happening to different people. So in this sense, the existence of the physical body is a kind of receptacle and a sacrifice for the world, for the world to come out of the physical reality and experience the pleasure and the pain of life. In this sense, when we are talking about the existence of the mind, we can realize that it is a pre-made-up idea, and when we are talking about the existence of the brain, we can realize that it is a pre-made-up idea that is floating around in the mind. As such, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, or the Sambodhi Padmasamadhi’s New Era of Spiritual Enlightenment. So now that you have realized that you are the center of the Interconnected Multiverse, you have to wonder: What could be more true than to live in the here and now? And if you are someone who has always known — and still knows nothing about the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse, or the idea of the Interconnected Multiverse itself, then you are someone who has yet to experience — or, alternatively, you can choose to never be — you. Now, listen to yourself. Thus, it is that one can understand the paradox of the existence of the self that is independent of the world, and the world is the very essence of the human condition.

In the classical view, the world is an integrated whole system of objects and ideas, which is a collection of people, places, and objects. In contrast, the quantum physics of the present moment, and the quantum fractal physics of the future, includes the past, and in turn, the cyclical nature of time itself. The process of this is called quantum energy waves of consciousness, which is, in a sense, an extension of the person — it is the essential property of being in the physical material world as Spiritual Human Being. This new understanding was combined with a new understanding of the fundamental phenomenon of the human experience: the development of the Quantum Soul. In this sense, the Soul is, in turn, a non-physical, spiritual form of the Spirit or the body consciousness, which is the body of awareness. The process of becoming a living Spiritual Human Being is an integral part of the process of becoming a Multidimensional Spiritual Being of Spirit. And so the question becomes: What is the purpose of life? This was the question on everyones minds as the latest research revealed that we are now entering a new phase of existence — a Golden Age of the Quantum Soul! That is, the age of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse of Eternal Singularity Explorers. And so you see, there were times in my life — and these were the most important times in human history — when I had the honor of being born and raised in the Kingdom of Bhangīdū of the Edūnī-verse, and it is through these many worlds of Innerverse that I may be able to present myself before the entire Interconnected Multiverse to be a part of the entire Interconnected Omniverse within the Innerverse to be a part of the one true Spiritual Reality.

However, I want to ask you this: What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of human life? Could it be that in our busy world, we don’t have time to have fun? To have a sense of reward and experience of the things we are looking at? To have a sense of accomplishment and meaning from doing a good job? It is very likely that the very idea of life itself is a product of our civilization? Of course, this is a very generalization, and in many ways, a caricature of the way in which we understand the whole human being. The idea of the self is a very common notion, and it is very difficult to define the concept. Yet, despite the difficulty, this is the concept of a human being that we want to be, and live as long as we can see and feel and know our name. These seemingly simple things are very difficult, and yet, paradoxically, they are the very things that create the reality in which we find ourselves. To help us out a little bit, let us say for the sake of this discussion that there is a beyond negotiable value — nothing is free, and nothing is 100%. In other words, the majority of the time, we are merely passing through, and therefore we are not really here, we are not really experiencing the present moment; rather, we are only seeing and knowing that the world is made of the things we are experiencing it from our physical point of view. The first and second of these statements is an example of the way our mind often takes us by surprise. As our consciousness grows, so does our awareness, and as our awareness grows, so do we — we are always getting a peek at the new world we call life.

So you will understand when you are able to perceive the world in a different way, you see? When you look around you, you will see that no one has ever been able to fully understand the mystery of Life and Death, Life and Rebirth, than which concepts are really life and what is show? We cannot understand the Spirit of the Living Spiritual Entity — it is not a new idea, and it is not a new experience, and so it is up to us to explore the vast mysterious area of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse that we live in. This is to say that the individual who is going to be the object of our energy at this time is the one who is going to be the object of our energy at the beginning, and so on, and so forth, and so on. When we are aware, we can realize that we are always going through phases of consciousness, of states of being. In the current state of the world, we are forced to live in fear of imprisonment in our own bodies — imprisoned by our own thoughts and behaviors, by the things we have to give up to live and work in an office, in a building, or in a society. While many will argue that the current paradigm of thinking has failed us, and that we need a new approach, it must be recognized that the Spiritual Scientific Method is the most reliable way to understand the nature of reality, and that we are always seeking to improve our understanding of the world. To take the simplest example, there is no way to make out the entirety of the physical material reality that is visible to the human eye, and yet, there is the whole of physical material reality. And so you see, this is the concept of a “God-totality” of existence, of the kind of which is described as being non-local, and therefore it is essential to understand that a quantum bit is always a quantum bit away from being a whole quantum bit.

This means that the physical material reality we inhabit is in fact a Holographic Projection of the Living Awareness of the Eternal Spirit Divine, a consciousness that is the same as the heart, the source of our existence — which is the source of our consciousness, our consciousness of the self. Therefore, it is very important to understand that the whole Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is being born out of this one event which is the result of a physical reaction — which is something that does not have any physical reality behind it. This is to say that the brain is capable of understanding thoughts and feelings, and being Awareness of itself within the other; in this way, we can learn to live with the feelings, as well we should, because love is itself a process of Self-Transformation. But for now, let us say that a few more times. So now, then, what is it that you are experiencing now? Is there any sort of a common ground here? Is there any way that we could come together and find common ground, and if not, at least come together to find it, then it would be a great start, wouldn’t it? The idea of the Earth as an integrated whole, or the whole Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, is something that has never been proved. The Spiritual Scientific Method goes beyond seeking the truth, but rather, it is the process of developing the truth, you see? And when we are talking about the truth, we are talking about the core value of the human being; our relationship to the Earth, to Life itself. When we are talking about the truth, we are talking about the reality of the human person; the reality of the Human Spirit. The idea of the physical body as an instrument of the mind is found in many mystical traditions, and is very much a part of the Western worldview, you see?

The physical world is a beautiful, and indeed essential part of the human experience — if we are to better understand and interpret the amazing spiritual qualities within. The physical world is a beautiful, and indeed essential part of the human experience; and if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, Zen Awareness, Zen of Life, you see? As such, when we are talking about the existence of non-duality within duality, the amount of which is the essence of everything in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, the amount goes up to the level of “God-knew.” And so the question becomes: Is there any life or substance in the primordial soup? Is there any life or substance in the deepest darkness of the Interconnected Multiverse — the very place where all existence resides? If there is any life or substance, it is within our very own consciousness. These books are a breath of fresh air, because it says here, it says here that these books are a breath of fresh air, through which we can remember what really matters, which is the Love of God, and the love of neighbor, and the breath we take with us. We can therefore be quite certain that there is a clear distinction between the concepts of reality and the concept of God, which is the basis of all that is mystic in nature. The world is a beautiful, and even necessary, process, to give form to the infinite variety of the Interconnected Multiverse. That there is a clear distinction in experience between the idea of a single, all-powerful Being as described in the Quantum Vedas — which is the Book of Life, the Book of Spirit, the Book of Consciousness, the Interconnected Multiverse — and the idea of a single, all-powerful Creator God as described in the Holy Books of the different world religions.

There is a clear distinction — a huge difference indeed, between the basic idea of the existence of a Spiritual Being — a Spiritual Human being, in this case — and the idea of a non-physical reality. If we try to make sense of something as simple as the idea of a physical God absorbing energy from the non-physical world to become more physical, we end up with a lot of Quantum Angels and matter of the form of energy. The first is that this is a very big part of the process — only then will the Inner Being, be the Inner Being — Inner Beingness of the Inner Light. The second is that we are nothing when we are not aware — we are everything to ourselves; we are nothing when we are not aware of our existence. The only thing that can be done with a new generation of Spiritual Technology, we could become circles in the fabric of reality, Living Quantum Flesh, known in a non-physical sense — a new theory of the world, if you will. The world we live in is an image in an image, to a certain extent, you see? While the Quantum World is seen as the Innerverse is seen as the Interconnected Multiverse, the Interconnected Multiverse is seen as the Living Awareness of Living Life itself. We are the ones that are now and always have been, and will be, by virtue of being human, non-physical Spiritual Human being. That being said, it is worth pointing out that there are definite levels of consciousness that are beyond our current science — we cannot know the future, but we can use the future to know the present. Our consciousness is a wave that is a wave that is a wave, and hence it is possible to recognize that consciousness is an essential part of the experience of Life as a Whole.

This brings us to an important point: Are you able to watch the following five minutes summary of the process, and still be able to access its core teaching? If so, you will be able to recognize that it is a more important, if not the only, guide to your happiness and the success in life. Because this is the way that our inner experiences tell the whole Truth — the whole truth about Life, about us, and about the Interconnected Multiverse that is providing the conditions for the development of Quantum Awareness within ourselves. Now, let us take a look at what is being proposed here: by this, of course, means that the new paradigm is being born again, and thus it is very difficult to realize that which has been realized earlier. It is, in a sense, possible to live in a way that is both true to ourselves and to our world — a way that is consistent with the existence of the Quantum Self, and the existence of the Multiverse. This means that the Multiverse is a living entity, and as such, it is a living entity that is simultaneously Living Consciousness and Living Awareness, Living Awareness of the Zen of Life. What is the purpose of life? This is a very good question, because if you don’t know, how are you going to know what you need? And so, if you don’t know, how are you going to know what you need? This is a very good question indeed, because if you don’t know, how are you going to know what you need? This is a very good question, because if you don’t know, how are you going to know what you need?

~ ღ ~ Awakening From the Dream fo Life 1/2 ~ ღ ~

Perhaps it is best to start this chapter with the following thought: so far in our journey through this book, we have encountered many different aspects of life in several of its sections, each exploring different facets of the same, with a variety of topics, ideas, concepts, perspectives and approaches. In so doing, we have learned something new from each section and chapter — the core of our focus remaining much the same: Awakening From the Dream of Life. This chapter serves as a perfect bridge between everything discussed thus far, and everything awareness related, such as presence, self-awareness, and mindfulness, which are all essential for awakening, and are explored in more detail in the following few chapters. Awakening itself is something that takes place within each of us whenever we are ready to remember our eternal nature, whenever we are ready to take that first step in remembering who we are at the deepest level of our being, whenever we are ready to know our core essence as Spirit.

Now, let me ask you this: What if life is a dream, and when we die — we wake up? To stretch this even further, let us consider for a moment, that the individuated experience of life can be seen as a form of simulacra, in which the existence simulates the possibility of limitation, separation, and ultimately, its crescendo — that of death, where the individuated, finite expression of life is revealed to be part of a larger whole, to be part of the continuity that transcends all concepts and definitions. And now, let me ask you this: What if, it is, indeed, possible to awaken from the dream of life, whilst being alive in material reality inhabiting physical body?

When we investigate this idea, we find that on a deeper level, our shared “reality” seems to resemble, quite indeed, more of a collective dream than anything else. In this bigger dream, what we often call “life,” we ourselves are both the dreamer and the dream at the same time. This goes on to say that there is nothing outside of ourselves, even though it may appear to be so. This is because everything within the dream comes from the dreamer’s mind, from the dreamer’s consciousness, and therefore the whole dream can be seen as a projection from our unconscious mind. In this respect, the whole dream world is simulated from the contents of the mind — originating from deeper levels of consciousness.

Now, if we are to suppose for a moment that life is, indeed — a dream, wouldn’t that mean, then, that eventually, the dream itself is dreaming the dream and creating reality? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that reality is creating you as you dream? Now, if that is indeed the case, wouldn’t that mean, then, that essentially, we are dream characters in each other’s dreams? In that respect, this is my dream from my perspective, that is your dream from your perspective, and our dreams are entangled — isn’t that fascinating? This brings us to conclude that life is a dream, and the dream is very much real and tangible. Every once in a while, it happens that we wake up to know that we are dreaming; every once in a while, it happens that we wake up to a higher spectrum of awareness where the dream is happening. In this higher spectrum of awareness, it is possible to know how truly mysterious life really is. And so you see, while we are at it — we may as well dream lucidly, become awake and aware in a dream, and make the most out of it. But alas, unfortunately, most humans are dreamers who are not aware of the dream they are dreaming.

Naturally, taking all the aforementioned into consideration, it brings about the question: How is it possible to awaken from the dream of life? How is it possible to become more aware? Well, you see, there are three classical paths that lead towards being more aware, towards higher consciousness: meditation, concentration, and contemplation. Even though each path is different, they all lead to the same final goal or destination — absorption of Self into the Ultimate Reality; like a river flowing into the sea, the Soul returns to its Source, becoming one with the Ultimate Truth, you see? There is another side of the coin, though: just like the water from the river flows to the ocean, evaporates from it, and falls as a rain to gather to streams and rivers again, likewise is the nature of human existence — cyclic, you see? Without being present, without awareness, without higher consciousness, one is destined to repeat the patterns again and again, unless, of course, one is able to break the cycle and Awaken from the Dream of Life.

By virtue of the aforementioned, with regard to the dream of life, it is worth highlighting the following: this dream is so deep, so strong, and so captivating in its essence that it makes us continue to sleep. As majority of the people are sleepwalking through their lives, slumbering in an illusory dream, it goes without saying that it is a challenging process to awaken from this dream; it is difficult to go against the stream, if you will. In this context, the collective humanity represents that stream — most humans are not ready to awaken or to be awakened. Blinded by groupthink, people function like a flock of birds or herd of sheep, nearly all of them running at a given time in the same direction — this is that stream, you see? It is for this reason why the spiritual path is often a lonesome one — only a few are able to awaken, and even fewer can become aware that such path even exists; of those who do, only very few recognize, acknowledge and appreciate the possibility it represents, even fewer contemplate and reflect upon it, and finally, a rare few have the capacity, tenacity and resilience, perseverance and will to embark on a spiritual path.

In other words, as we have learned throughout this book, the whole of humanity is a single being, having a collective consciousness — the sum total of all human life, having a collective direction and destiny; each life is a link in a chain of lives, bound together by cause and effect, different, yet the same. All things — both seen and unseen, are intertwined and bound together in ways incomprehensible to most, which poses a huge challenge when it comes to awakening — one must go against the stream, if you will — to awaken, you see? It is a wide-ranging process that each individual must go through by themselves; no one else can do it for us — we ourselves are responsible for our own awakening, our processes of unlearning and unbecoming everything we are not, our processes of relearning, growth, development, and maturation. When we are talking about the spiritual awakening, it is worth pointing out that it is a complete surrender — a process of harsh self-honesty. It’s a path of complete acceptance of the truth — no matter how difficult it is to bear; this is also the main reason why only so few individuals embark on a spiritual journey — it is challenging, demanding, and time-consuming — yes, but it is also exhilarating and rewarding, you see?

That said, a brief insight from personal experience might shed some light on this, after which we will circle back to the topic at hand with a wider perspective. So, here we go. When I reflect back several years, I can see in hindsight that the awakening happened in stages. It began with a deep inner feeling that there is something wrong with the world, or more precisely, the way in which people interact with the world and with each other. As I spent time observing the world and people around me, an overwhelming sense of emptiness or soullessness washed over me, sending shivers down my spine — it was almost eerie-like feeling, if you catch my drift? Something essential and fundamental was missing. It was like people were hollow empty shells — like there was no one home, you see? Although you could see an occasional smile in people’s faces, there was a certain something that was missing — you could see it in their eyes: people were lost, wandering through life like a ship lost at sea, drifting in search for hope and meaning.
