Awakening consiousness...

[IA56]

Hi forum members...

What is your take how to awaken the consciousness??
Because it is not by faith, belief, or concepts in the intellect nor by repeated actions in the body.
So how is it done??

Ia, for me it was questioning Who I was.
One time I woke up an image of me holding a new born baby and it said "WHO AM I?"( recorded in journal)
I can only speak for myself but its almost like turning inwards rather than searching outwards.
Being aware of my own reactions to situations, being my own critic.
Being aware of my thoughts and how they can affect my moods
Being aware of my chosen words and the impact on the target.
Being aware of everything around me.
You are holding the camera filming you go about your daily life .
You become your own observer of yourself.

So the two most used words here are Being Aware.
Thats me anyway, some may have different ideas.

Eckhart Tolle goes deeply into this. His talks can be found on U Tube.

In my opinion we don't have to waken up consciousness- consciousness is what we awaken with. Consciousness, by definition, is wakefulness. But we often are not awake because we are not aware-we are not in the now.
So to be awake, I have to be aware of what is happening around me now- everything that is happening in my space, in my body and observe what is in my mind without becoming inmersed in its contents.
When you become the observer of what happens in the now you are awake.

When our breath is held...we pass out and our autonomy resumes breathing. If we are choking while asleep...our autonomy wakes us...that we may clear our airway to resume breathing.

Consciousness awakens to itself, though you, and when it does, you understand, through it, that you don't really exist, at least, not at all in the way you thought you did. It's a shift in perspective, nothing more, but also nothing less.

It's not about you. It's about consciousness. Everything is.

Thank you all for your so wise responses :heart:

I need to hear it, because all my life I have bean challenged and make me believe that I am less then others...even I know it is not so...I am not more but not less either.

I don´t know quite where the borders should be drawn not to do the same back, or how to protect me in right way, because all will be karma and will be re-payed in time...this does put me in trouble and I am aware of it.

All started in my childhood, I had very childish parents, my mother did refuse to learn me anything, and my father did enjoy to give me false information if I asked him something I wanted to know....I have solved all this with my parents before the did leave this life of theirs...so all is good but I only wanted to give some background info to you.

This did repeat in my second marriage when I wanted to change career to become a physiology...my ex-husband who did have very calm way become a 5 year old and stomped with his feet on the ground and said...you can to be that...you already know so much...that will only give you more power, and I will not allow it...so this and among several other things did make me leave that marriage...

So all this is summoned to have destroyed my self worth totally...and I do try to concur it back but it is not easy....when it time to time someone PM me and challenges me by mocking me that I am totally asleep...and want´s to awaken me...they do not know how to communicate because they do not tell me how they see me at sleep, it is not helpful at all to say...waky wake....I was not planning to tell this openly, to keep the confides to the one who PM me...but if I do not try to tell openly what does destroy me to try to be honest to others when they do not be honest against me....

I apologize to have to say this, I hope it is some benefit to others and not only to me...

I am sure I will feel better to be able to work more deeply to eliminate more of my fear to pure LOVE.

Love

When attacked from without...within the darkness of our astounding self-ignorance, One must look to the resounding self-evidence.

Though I sense the beginning world thru various means, they are all means to an end. That end the beginning of my self-evident understanding.

Love is blind, yet with an ear told, a nose smelt, a skin touched, a voice swallowed back of a mouth tasted,

But why this parading pageantric casting call auditioning...as if to hours long...post-mortem play me of my swallowed-back day's auto-biographically unutterable record playing naught?

Ahhhh...Alas does my Voice utter-li ha've in re-membrance spoke,...i...of nameless me...the living one...my very de-bunked self...to sleep n'er more az none-the-lesser.

Ahhhh...but to sleep...per-chance to dream...a-gain.

Peace Out from Peace In when Peace All Round...IS.

Hi Susan,
Did you got any answers to your question...Who Am I??

Hi CFT,
It was very good saying...to awaken into the consciousness..and to be the observer...I am very much that...but nevertheless I still am struggling with something I haven´t solved yet, and it take´s me back to my childhood and I have so many time gone over and over my childhood but still I haven´t cracked the code why I am brought back to it to see something I am missing to see....for somehow it is the code where I went lost so to speak....and I am afraid to take the leap of faith to become what I am ...but it is more safe to stay in the past for some reason I do not know what for.....

Hi BW,
I know exactly what you are talking about, and I know I am not my personality from this life...I am sure I am something more brutal and that scares me.

I was dragged half way out of my body this morning, it awoke fear again..but when I looked up and opened my eyes I was in my bed...and when I closed my eyes I did see two like cherubs holding a cross between them...like showing me not to worry....so if someone understand what I am going through please say something.

Hi Timothy,
To read your post, it echoes capability space...I´d like to know what 25 means...that would give me more if I had some kind or understanding about it.

Thank you all :heart:

Hi Timothy,

Hi IA,

Its nice to see you here. :)

25 is the sum of The Day, "The Day Is At Hand".

It's the call to take the very present day into our own hand, thus making the day very personally/intimately ours. "He's got the whole day in his hand, he's got you and me brother/sister in his hand...etc".

1743

Psalm 118...particularly 118:24...yet certainly all of 118...otherwise 24 doesn't lead from being led to 24~>25~>JOY (et)and (In My In-Ward Parts)...Be-Yond.

Still seems vague, still..."Why 25?".

Let's see...old sayings - It's az "Plain as the nose on my/your face"..."Don't cut your nose off to spite your face".

1742

At the close of the day...it's (Impermanent) CONTENT reflected upon IS You. Having thusly reflected upon You IS Your's On The Morrow. That content as impermanent as is any meal consumed, to have within it both that which serves the body and that which though being waste...served to carry inward that which serves the body of You. Food for thought

This doesn't mean that the mirror is your best friend, this means that You are your most honest reflective friend, your own trusted confidant.

I Know http://youtu.be/a3bRxwHzIxA

Otherwise IA, You certainly could not have insightfully resolved to say, "I am sure I am something brutal and that scares me."

Bravo!!! Arrival to our common human truth...our apt potential to be brutal. The reality that we are each individually our own wor st enemy...to the point of scaring our very own self.

Certainly IA...that insight(in-come) is an initiated out-come...Arrival. Being there...where you wished to have arrived to...being here...where to your going struggle has to/too/two...Come.

Everyone expects this great arrival that informs them of that something they'd wished to be...because they knew that they weren't. Most feel to find that their being human is entrapment and imprisonment, not realizing that freedom is a very unique and personal surrender, such that the truth will set us free, but first we have to come to terms with our self, not only imperfect..but impermanent.

Absolution? Of course, yet it becomes daily exercising a practice of not forgetting to remember our personally aware reality, lest severity of repetition remain our BAIN where once was estranged PAIN only.

The spirit of (Pain)forgetfulness (et)and the Spirit of (Bain)remembrance. It is good to remember (et)and need be...it's is good to be reminded that we have a partner aiding us in our not forgetting. Till one day Being reminded arrives so fast with in the forgetful act...that we mindfully negate the act in the niche of time.

Always IA, the worst is relieved with overcoming Joy, however, the tendrils are left, remaining to teach in so much as we'd ourself feed any of they. Keep The Faith In You...not out there in the overcrowded realm of comparisons where easy it is to find those worse than ourself to make us artificially feel better at least (et)and woe...those who appear better that we..to in that virtual consumption...fall to very far apart all over a-gain.

LET1744FLOW

Observe your Self as if You are your very own personal course of what not to do, what to do may then naturally follow.

Beyond all that...I can say that it's true...the enemy did sow tares among my wheat during first formative years. That after arriving aware, being relieved as such, tendrils left...etc; I don't reckon Iv'e neglected to feed any tendrils...sad but true. But instead of having arrived with a ton of woes whipping me on my back, NOW has been, is, and far as I can see will continue to be...such that the immediacy of what's due to me is just that...immediate toward immediate removal. I am reminded quite a lot, I can be pretty reckless I reckon. But I can be precise in the giving and in that I too am precisely given...in that order...Joy for Joy. Sometimes I am with reckless precision precisely reckless...dat rot thar joyfully liberally rewards all way round.

To what is the call...to whom their reward fastidiously queiried pon. The need for speed. As understood, NOW MEANS NOW...that's 3 that the mean NOW be. Furthermore said, if you find me in your fears/fear, there in your love I am absent of you. If you find me in your loves/love, there in your fear I am with you. Amen. Amen. (et)and Amen.

Hi Timothy,
The last picture did shook me a bit....I thought that time was horisontel and space vertical....for years ago you did inspire me to buy the King James version Bible...and to my surprise the Psalm 119 is the mediation on the law...and that and your post did open up what and why I have bean send back to my childhood...I did experience the God´s law very brutally as a child...I was fostered by the nature very brutally...I off course did not dare even to tell my parents what happened in the forest where I did spend my day´s up to 7 yrs old....the voice did speak to me often...and I did feel/hear the thunder and the wind was like hurricane...it was this way I did experience...for other it was a wind still day with full sunshine....I did often feel someone was approaching me flying ...I did feel it so strong in my body...and I did run into my mother and shouting...they are coming...they are coming....off course my parents did think I was crazy...but I know today how the God´s law operates...I am in chaos in my inner now....I remember now...Thank you!

Love

Hi Timothy,
You make me laugh by your humorous way to tell things :D.

I do remember now more what happened to me in the big beating what happened 1980-81...He did brainwash me so totally that when all was over and I started in counseling I did not remember who I was in this life...or other life´s for that matter....it took long time for me to start to remember...so I had to live by the clock...I had to write down on a list...7.00 breakfast...I had to ask my 3 yrs old son what I used to give him for breakfast and lunch and dinner....I did not remember what things was called...I did have a name...potatoes ...I said it many times to me...and opened the cabinet doors in my kitchen...I knew it is something to eat...I hoped I will remember if I see it...but I did not find it..so I had to call my sister and I said to her...do not laugh at me...but can you come over and show me where my potatoes is....no-one did understand how badly injured I was...not even doctors or physiology...I was laugh at...but I was not capable to tell I lacked words...I had to start all over with a very destroyed 3 yrs old child....but we managed it...

You did open up to the past...and I feel I have flushed it out now...and I can start to look forward and not back at the lived life....my inner compass was destroyed...but I am sure I will find my bearings from now on...Thank you and everyone els for the patience....it has payed off.
:loveyou: ALL.
