The words spiritual awakening is used a lot, especially by people who meditate. But what is a spiritual awakening? What do they mean? What are they trying to describe? What does the words ‘spiritual awakening’ mean? It would be fair to say, that the term implies that there is within you, a spirit, and that it is capable of awakening somehow.
To examine this, we first need to get a better idea of what we mean by ‘spirit’. For instance, do you think spirit has any edges? Do you think spirit can go to sleep? Do you think that spirit has an ‘age’? Do you think that spirit can move? Do you think that spirit has intention in it? Do you think that spirit is available to some people and not others? I know these might seem like difficult questions, but if we are to examine spiritual awakening, then we really do need to have some kind of an agreed idea on what we are talking about.
The problem is, because so few people explore their mind, body, emotions and aura, that when they have an experience which is ‘out of the norm’ to the general population, then the words ‘spiritual awakening’, or ‘spiritual experience’ or ‘spiritual movement’ are used.
I have meditated for over twenty years and I have made many personal discoveries about the nature of spirit. I am not asking you believe me, rather, I am inviting you to find out for yourself. I have discovered that spirit has no edges, it is infinite, and so it is impossible for spirit to awaken. Rather, it is possible for the meditator to let go, more and more into space and stillness, and for the limitations of the meditator to experience an expansion that they would call a spiritual awakening.
Ultimately I have discovered for myself, within myself, that it is possible to let go of the mind, the body, the emotions, the psychic body, the intuitive body and the other bodies that exist in the subtler regions of creation, and to discover for myself, that spirit does exist and that it is my real identity.
Spirit was never and could never be asleep, so it could never awaken. But I am saying to you, that it is possible for you to discover spirit for yourself, within yourself, using specific meditation techniques. Now, I am not asking you to believe me. Indeed, with so many people making all kinds of claims about what is a spiritual awakening, you would be a bit foolish to do so.
Practice the meditation techniques, enjoy the meditation, and you will begin to discover a deeper part of you. Then you can see for yourself the possibilities of you having your very own, personal spiritual awakening.
I realize that this is not the usual dogma that you will hear from those that teach spiritual meditation but it is how I have come to understand true spiritual awakening. My hope is that you find out for yourself.
