To Be Awakened
First aid for the newly awakened. What does it mean to be awakened? Much like mundane waking and sleep cycles, you go from a more narrow sensitivity to a broader one. So when you awaken spiritually/psychically, it can be a bit disorienting having to deal with a new range of awareness that just wasn’t in your…

Going Forward
When newly awakened and feeling alone and isolated, how would one reality check? First, sort out what is you and what is not you. When you feel alone you feel this awareness more. You will find that your sense of being alone is actually just not relating to things the way you used to, and no…

Lifestyle Of The Newly Awakened
On to lifestyle. When newly awakened your old lifestyle will look like it’s a total mess. Like you went and ruined your life and it can seem like you will never recover. This isn’t true. Some parts of your old life will still feel the same, supportive and familiar. Other parts won’t feel bad, but…

Nature Of Awakening
The nature of your awakening may differ from another person. For some, the awakening involves a relationship with the world and the spirits, the stars and the energies that form the foundation of reality. It feels like really entering the world for the first time. For others, their awakening may involve an expansion of pure…

Who I Am
For today’s topic I have to ask, who do you think you are? What thoughts does this question raise? A being hard to define. What happens if you don’t know who you are? Life can be hard if you don’t know who you are. Well, I suppose like in the extreme amnesia case it would…

Selfing
Why do people “self” so much? I can’t think of another word for it. They choose words and actions that support one abstract goal, a hollow goal from what I can tell. It leaves them feeling empty and alone, this self image. “Who do I think I am?” Everyone seems to have an answer for…

Do All the Things
Anyone familiar with the bicameral mind theory? Two hemispheres? It does indeed involve the two hemispheres. All the sane praying to god and making sacrifices and stuff like that? They did things as a matter of course that would land someone today in a criminal insane asylum for life. Well, the theory is that consciousness…

Right Brain Priority
So how do we reconcile our conscious mind and this insane god with that little spark of truth in us? Metanoia is a process. The true mind is a hologram having two seeming different vectors. Two beams of light that merge to reveal the genuine image. We do not normally let them interact let alone…

Fostering Metanoia
Now how to foster metanoia… There are elaborate rituals, vast moral guidelines, richly elaborate creeds complex to the point of being almost completely obtuse. It’s arguable that all theurgic ritual, all religious ritual, serves this purpose. Ecstasy. To leave you standing outside of yourself. Your self as you are normally conscious of it. Even if…

First aid for the newly awakened. You cannot go back. The mystics have a saying. Once having seen the unseen country, you cannot unsee it. You will have to accept that your only way is forward. When you discover some part of your life doesn’t make sense anymore, it’s just because your mind has cleared, and it didn’t actually make sense to you in the first place. It can happen suddenly or more gradually.
It is in your best interests to let it grow and flourish. Let your awareness move right up along side your normal daily experience.
