Do any of these questions sound familiar? · What is a 'spiritual awakening'? · What are the common symptoms of an awakening consciousness? · What is the relationship between becoming more mindful / conscious and awakening? · How can I smooth the awakening process? · What happens if and when I 'wake up'? · How can I identify what's happening to me, or those around me? · How do I know I'm not just going nuts? Spiritual awakening has nothing to do with religious beliefs, your level of income or education, what country you live in, or any other such thing.
Instead, it has to do with a very natural process that many people will come across at some point in their lives, especially if they are interested in looking honestly at themselves and they are searching for deeper meaning as to who they are and what they are here for, and are willing to take 100% responsibility for their beliefs and actions and the consequences thereof.
We believe we're entering into an unprecedented period in human history that offers a unique possibility for a rapid development in consciousness.
It is our wish to actively and deliberately participate in these transformative energies and to take full advantage of the opportunity that is being offered and moreover support you all to do the same.
What we envisage from information we have gathered is that 2012 was not an endpoint-a fixed date on the calendar-where reality as we know it will be radically altered overnight.
We don't imagine that we'll wake up one day in another time and place, in a parallel universe or experience, unable to recognize our surroundings or ourselves.
Instead, each of us will most likely have the opportunity to enter into a very personal relationship with this phenomenon, unique to every individual - if we are not having it already! And as we move into 2013 and beyond, we will naturally and effortlessly begin to come together with other like-minded souls, attracting them to us as if by magic, and together all take advantage of certain planetary energies to enter into higher states of consciousness collectively.
As individuals and groups move into these higher states, this will logically result in all of humanity awakening to its unique divinity, liberated from the limitations of the experience of separation: what many sages and seers are calling a state of 'Oneness'.
The challenge for many people these days is not in getting a brief glimpse into our true nature, but in living it 24/7 in our day-to-day life.
· How can education, parenting, relationships, intimacy, sexuality, business, creativity, and physical and emotional well-being all become free-flowing expressions of Awakened Consciousness? · How can we live with our feet on the ground while our Spirits reach out to the Divine so we become whole, integrated beings, living from love not fear? · Not least of which, how do we manage this against a background of global financial melt down, uncertainty, worry and distrust? · How do we close our ears and eyes to the media scaremongering and allow ourselves to rise above it all? Part of 'waking up' is in making the best possible decisions for your life, and if you're going to make decisions that are focused on your highest good, first you need to determine and honour the deeper calling of your soul and tap into Divine Inner Guidance.
This inner and outer shift will not just materialize from action; it emerges from genuine under-standing.
Action that stems from shallow understanding turns out to be shallow action, but action that stems from deeply felt consciousness is action that can and will transform the world.
