What Is It That Wakes Us Up … Makes Us Conscious?
It is a simple realisation and recognition … “Is that all?” What sounded complicated is now simple.
Words make realisation complicated. The moment when I received the pointing out instruction into the nature of consciousness wasn’t about the ritual (which seemed pointless); it was the stunning awareness that I have been awake along, but thought there was more to it. There is no more – there is less.
I was bloody angry at myself 😀 … then angry at all that over-elaborate behaviour connected to ‘conscious awareness’. Now, life is free of all appearances – I don’t believe a word!
Waking up is no longer being attached to the dream, to the illusions of life to which we cling. It is just being that tells us everything we need to know, rather than the hoo-ha, fuss, hype, much-ado-about -nothing that eternally enthrals followers.
