Most people do not think about to wake up, because they imagine that they are already awake(-). The Buddha was awakened named, he realized that he was asleep and woke up, the same thing happened with Jesus Christ, Lao Tse en vele anderen, but we take no notice of it….
You only realize that you're awake, awake when you realized you were sleeping, you dreamed you were awake but that was no real awakening that was illusion, maya
The biggest obstacle, the biggest obstacle to genuine awakening is the thought that you're awake, an illusion that is very strong and really seems.
Vernon Howard was even a question from a student who asked what the difference was between him and an awakened and Howard then answered: You think he sees!"When you're awake you see first what, without judgment and with appreciation and love for what, take pure and clear than what.
In 1992 I got a psychosis and thought the world ended, in fact wrecked my old world and that turned out to be a blessing. I tell my psychiatrist said:"I want to wake up 'and they understood that not because they were still asleep itself, they took it literally and saw that my body was awake, but my mind was asleep and they had no regard for. You are not your body, you occupy only temporarily as you stay in a house and you are not your house.
Vernon Howard, an American Buddha, suggests that most people are asleep and dream that they are awake and therefore taking no action to wake and sleep more.
When I look at the people I know and have met, I have to agree with Howard Vernon, 95% is asleep and that estimate is on the low side!
I have been fortunate to have some people who have awakened to meet and recognize and acknowledge and make up my friend, however, I can count them on the fingers of one hand so rare they are, and I've been lucky that I have attracted people, Most people never get an awakened against and if they do so then they do not see him or her because they are asleep themselves.
Someone who can not perceive an awakened asleep and someone who has awakened can see exactly who's been asleep and who is awake and who are awakening and have love and compassion, like the Buddha.
Awakening meant to me an awareness that I am one with the whole, the cosmos, the Great Spirit, God not only'm separated. This unit provides experience love and compassion and empathy, peace and happiness and harmony, all higher energies
You can wake up anytime when you turn inward and honestly it perceives the divine in yourself and therefore are negative, lower energies away and there is non-duality, unity in love, what is the highest achievement for me.
Vernon Howard also says that YOU are the biggest problem you've ever known. As long as you can the divine are not, there is no place for, then there is no real, unique, authentic life possible.
Goethe was also an awakened and he said:"The older I get, the milder I am, For all the mistakes I see around me, I recognize myself 'and I recognize myself enormously and you do not blame the other person that he has not yet awakened, some still need some sleep
One of my favorite animals was cock because those people up in the morning crowing and the church (wind)indicating direction.
As you read this, your body will be awake, but what about your mind?
Do you feel one with everything or dream you remember that you are on your own and are separated from all, that is the difference…..
I do not feel more or better than myself another, with Vernon Howard I say I am an ordinary man who discovers the extraordinary.
I quote here a while a text of Neale Donald Walsch in, he says:
…that virtue cannot separate itself from reality
without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus said that, and he was right.
When we become too virtuous, when we think
ourselves to be oh, so right, we become dangerous
to ourselves and others.
Be careful of those who imagine themselves to be on
the High Road while everyone else is walking the Low.
If they really are on the High Road, they will offer to take
everyone else with them, not simply tell others that they
are going the wrong way.
I do not find myself virtuous, only I realized that I was asleep and it struck me that not, because everyone slept around me. And now I'm willing to others to point out that there is also an awakened state in which happiness reigns, I wish everyone. If you know you want happiness in your life and give their share and I am doing this.
