Call to awakenDare to be free

Some time in 2001

How many of you have considered Life and asked the question "just what is all this about"?
How many of you have looked out onto the world and sensed that something, something quite indescribable, was not as you might have been led to believe?

Does it not occur to you just how odd it is that Humans and Virus's play out a very similar role on this planet? That here we are, with all the creative potential of Creation itself, and the biggest thing we achieve on this planet from day to day is destruction? How long can each of us continue to fool ourselves that we are creating when in fact we are destroying - tearing down the very fabric that God, or Creation or whatever you want to call It, gave us to paint a completely ineffable and infinite picture.

There are a lot of people on the planet now who know that something is up... that something is just not as it seems. Often these people end up getting bewildered and confused by this inner knowing. Often they end up seemingly worse off than they were when blissfully unaware. But that's just it... What past religion spoke of Heaven and Hell, the only thing that would differentiate this two apparent extremes was Awareness and Unawareness. To be Awake or asleep. Both exist right here and right now. Both exist within me right now. Either I choose to be aware and thereby reside in the Absolute Heavenly Perfection of All-That-Is... or I choose to be asleep and reside in the misery of eternal confusion - eternal darkness.

"And just what is darkness", I have at times asked. Darkness is a no thing... just an absence. It has no power or substance of its own... for it is truly a no-thing. THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT. Therefore Enlightenment is not the suppression or elimination of our darkness but merely a letting go—a release—and an opening to the Light.

So then, here within the human experience, what is Light? What is it at a tangible level that allows light to enter into that which was once dark? AWARENESS. To be Absolutely Aware of all that is right here and now as it currently presents itself. Aware on all levels, in all ways. When I am asleep, my eyes are closed which therefore leaves me living in the dark. When I awaken my eyes open and instantly... effortlessly there is Light. I LIVE and BEcome that light through being aware. It may sound simple, and really it in fact is, but at the same time from within the apparent limited confines of human reality it is nearly impossible. This is where letting go comes into the dance. It is the power to willingly let go that the word "nearly" proceeds the word "Impossible".

It is through letting go that I am able to release all the human conditionings, patterns, cravings, beliefs, fears, limitations and more... it is through letting these things go (instantly or over time) that I create the space within my-Self for the Light... for Awareness... to come pouring in. Filling this human vessel until it can hold no more... until it pours forth into the world like a lamp into the night.

I dare you to wake up. I dare you to take even a small step right now to wake up to something which until this moment you have chosen to ignore, that you have until this moment chosen to not see. You know what that is... you know what you choose to avoid each moment... you know - and it is that knowing that makes most people deeply sad and often quite miserable. Because to remain asleep and unconscious whilst that knowing exists is nothing less that choosing to live and die in a self created prison. The inescapable ramifications of that reality is what creates an ongoing sadness in most people's hearts.

May the love, the light, and the Awareness of all that you are start opening out into your world. May you start being true to what you already know and already are.

Blessings,

Jonathan
