Awakening
There is a lot of talk about people globally "waking up." Dr. Bruce Lipton often states in his interviews that The Matrix was not a motion picture but a documentary. Many other authors and instructors still believe the same, that the majority of people today still continue to live out their lives in mundane routines, stuck in their 9-5 jobs Monday through Friday, and partying up on Friday evenings and weekends as if that was the end-all-be-all reward they deserve. Vacation time is reduced to a certain number of weeks per year by their employer and everyone acts as if that is good enough.
And then, when we have the option to do anything or go anywhere, we choose to go to the same places and do the same things every year. Why is that? Some researchers say that it is because subconsciously, we are trying to recreate the high we experienced the first time we ever went to that particular location or did that specific activity. The problem is that the second time we experience anything, it never really generates the same excitement of a fresh discovery as it did the first time. Ultimately, we crave the illusion of safety stemming from the predictability of sameness driven by the comfort zone. We are reaching externally for an internal sense of contentment which can only be fulfilled from the inside.
Yet, don't we know that we are worthy of so much more? We deserve to live a life of freedom and abundance by our standards and to experience peace of mind at every moment.
These authors and speakers go on and say that most of us are plugged into the matrix, like robots. What does this really mean? If anyone has watched The Matrix, the character Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) was plugged into the matrix until he had a feeling there was something more to his existence, and as he started questioning the world around him, the answers came. He was "unplugged" from the matrix with the help of Morpheus (played by Laurence Fishburne) which is symbolic of "awakening."
Is to be awakened a condition or state of existence we just strive for and when we reach it, our life journey ends there? I can only share my take on this phenomenon as it is different for everyone. However, this journey of waking up and evolving continues beyond the end of our earthly lifetime. Everyone is at a different stage of consciousness or conscious awareness. New age philosophy maintains that this is the process of "waking up" out of a deep sleep, where your existence consisted only of being told how you should feel, what you should do with your life and how you should behave, through the false programming your unknowing parents and the world gave you from age 0 to 7.
In my process of awakening, I asked myself if what I was doing really resonated with me. And, it doesn't matter if I was good at it. Many of us are good at things we don't necessarily like to do, but we are good at it and the people around us tell us why change if we are good at what we do. So, then, we continue as we are, even though we don't feel satisfied, because things have always been done this way, and that somehow, we believe that other people know more about what's right for us than we do. So, we do it day after day. If I didn't have a care in the world, no financial or family responsibilities, I asked myself if I would be doing what I was doing and living where I was living.
Most of us don't know who we really are. We think we do but we really don't. That little voice, that nagging feeling you can't shake, that tells you there is something more to who you are, something more to this life, to this world, than what meets your 5 senses, yet to be discovered by you, something really big, but you just can't put your finger on it or explain logically and you're afraid that people closest to you will call you crazy. Gradually or suddenly, this feeling that you should be doing something else with your life other than what you are doing now leaves you a fearful, insecure, almost regretful but at the same time, a rather exhilarating taste in your mouth. This is your heart nudging you.
Or, you then begin to feel frustrated, confused and perhaps depressed. You feel lost. You thought you lived with direction all this time and now, you seemingly have no direction at all. The things you've accomplished don't spark that fire in your heart anymore, or if it ever did, now that you think about it. But, even though there was a safe daily routine, you knew when to report to work, you did your work, you enjoyed your allotted benefits, something felt missing. People around you are puzzled why you would feel that way. After all, by anyone's standards, you seem to have the perfect life.
Your peace, happiness, and sense of fulfillment and security can only be defined by you.
You then decide that you don't dare ask further; in fact, you dismiss this line of questioning as quickly as possible because heaven forbid there is that something you've always wanted to do, something you would have rather pursued, if only you were decades younger. If only things turned out differently, if only you were brave enough to take that leap years ago. Now, it's too late, you're thinking. Too much valuable time has passed. You're ready to look into a comfortable retirement in that comfort zone you've paid into with your life. You can't afford to feel disappointed now. You've convinced yourself you have to settle with what you are and what you have, and that it is too late to change.
Good news. It is never too late to change, to start something new, to go somewhere different, to become someone you don't recognize. It is never too late to "wake up." Our preprogrammed mindset tries to convince us to stay asleep, not to ask questions and just continue the same. It tries to preserve your identity because the thought of becoming someone new is just simply too terrifying for our egoic mind, too threatening to the very existence of our set of old habits that have long outplayed their usefulness and relevance.
So, the best gift you can give yourself in this short human life is the gift of waking up. This is most definitely not a task for the timid. I know first-hand. First you feel that something is just not right, the sameness of it all, that something is missing but you don't really know what. This feeling persists. You ignore it because it's just loony tunes and you think your mind is just playing tricks on you. People around you tell you to get real and stop living in some fantasy world or that your imagination has gone wild. Maybe you're just having one of those days and that you'll be fine tomorrow. And, you will be fine tomorrow until that feeling comes again.
Life is too short to ignore what your heart wants. Ask yourself what are you passionate about? What would excite you so much each day that you can't wait to get the day started? What calls to you that gets you geared up and exhilarated for Monday to arrive? What have you always wanted to do and for whatever reason convinced yourself not to because it was not the right time or you weren’t good enough or that you were not being realistic? Perhaps go grab a piece of paper or your journal and pen and begin writing out the answers to these questions. Then, read them and ask yourself how you feel.
Remember that true living is expressing authentic responsibility to yourself by revering your innate gifts of imagination and intuition, and by embracing these higher mental faculties as your direct line to the divine's inexhaustible source of universal supply. Find time throughout the day to relax your entire body and let purpose discover and come through you. Know that it is possible that you deserve and are worthy of more. You owe it to yourself to live your best life. All you have to do is surrender and listen. The answers you've been looking for will come.
Welcome to the world of awakening...to your uniqueness. It's a genuine pleasure to finally meet you.
Reminders on Daily Tools:
1) As soon as you wake up, journal your 8 to 10 things you're grateful for either in the present time or for the future desires and goals that you've been imagining have arrived. Give sincere thanks and put deep feelings into that.
2) Sit in reflection and contemplation for 20 to 60 minutes to allow the mind and body to connect and release stuck energy.
3) Do your breathing exercises, positive affirmations or intentional statement-questions for 10 to 20 minutes. You can do this while accessing the Meridian points.
4) Throughout the day, redirect your focus to the space around you. This brings your awareness to the present moment. The more you do this, the more you will automatically feel the peace, love, and joy within and realize that they have always been there.
5) At bedtime, repeat the instructions on journaling above under 1).
Remember that every time you bring yourself to feeling grateful, that energy is in harmony with the belief that you have received whatever you were wishing for and that makes you happy. This energy is quite different from the belief that you live in a situation of lack and limitation.
