Exploring the nature of Enlightenment

Explore articles on enlightenment, spiritual awakening, higher consciousness, self-realization, and the ongoing journey toward wisdom, clarity, and inner freedom. There are probably many definitions for what Enlightenment is - it is likely that we would each describe it in our own unique way. That is because words are ultimately inadequate to describe what can only be experienced.

That said, words and contemplations can help point to that inner state of pure presence. That is the purpose of the following articles...

The Human Crisis is One of Identity: Who am I?

Submitted by Open on

The world is unravelling rapidly into a mess of confusion, with lunatic leaders efforting to cajole mass consciousness one way; the financial and resources chains buckling to breaking point; there's a break out of 'podcast inquiry', but right now, there's no real direction of leadership from the confusion. That's because it's a crisis of identity. Humanity is lost in a whirlpool of miscomprehension. We need to discover our true Source, and how emergent 5D consciousness can now guide us through life.

Spiritual Mastery and the Soul Ray Harmonic: The Sweet Spot of Life

Submitted by Open on

People speak of spiritual mastery and might be intentionally working toward it, but what actually is it? Some would say Enlightenment is the measure, however, I would say that's just the beginning. This is where the real journey begins - the journey of self-actualisation, of what may be termed the "Soul Ray Harmonic". And that by revealing this in any given moment, the sense of spiritual mastery arises in the background of experience.

Dealing with Bone-Crunching Initiations on the Spiritual Path

Submitted by Open on

I have written about this recently, but it deserves extra attention at this point in the shift: why you might be experiencing a "bone crunching" period of super intensity on the path, where many things are coming up at once, in all aspects of your life. Whether it be in your relationships, career or general living circumstances and your guides and guidance seem to have deserted you.

Recognise this? What on earth is going on?

Becoming an Ascended Master: An Eternal Student of Life

Submitted by Open on

On the spiritual path, what is the true measure of mastery? You may have journeyed plenty, you may have touched deep presence and be able to open into multidimensionality. However, this doesn't necessarily equate to being a master of the Shift itself, that which is moving everything into the Universal Torus of Life. For this, we must understand and master the process of Ascension itself.

Our Immaculate Home Coming - The Path To The One

Submitted by Open on

You and I are continually blessed with an incredible opportunity. Everything we ever yearned for, wanted, desired or needed is answered by the hallowed space of The One, right at the core of us, bursting through the canvas of our lives, constantly reminding us to stop, wake up, and realise the one thing that can bring us back alive in every moment. And the paradox is, that whenever you're in some kind of density removed from it, exactly there is your doorway back to it. All it really takes is the commitment to embrace the situation exactly as it is, and then surrender into it, through the layers of constriction you might be feeling. This is the Path to The One...

5D Shift: The Curious Sense of No Self...Moving into Enlightened States

Submitted by Open on

I've often heard people say on the path, "I don't know who I am anymore!" It's indicative that you're starting to move beyond the false self ego and into the sense of 'no self'. It can be pretty scary and unsettling at first, and as it arises, fear might bounce you back into ego again.

How to Find Lasting Contentment and Fulfillment in a World of Change?

Submitted by Open on

The pace of change is hotting up across our planet day by day. If it's not the system constantly introducing new ways to constrain freedoms, new distractions to entertain or enslave, new gadgets and widgets that we simply must have, then there's The Shift itself, which is pulling at the very bedrock of our reality. To add to the complexity, the soul is constantly looking for new expression and evolved ways of being. So in this cauldron of profound change, how might we find lasting contentment and fulfillment? It's a tricky balancing act, but there is certainly a way, providing we focus on some key essentials:

Enlightenment: You are the One - the Universe is Moving Within You

Submitted by Open on

Great shifts of consciousness are happening out there in the field, and felt deeply within our very cells too. A Great Realignment is taking place, that evolving people are experiencing in every aspect of their lives: in relationships, careers and general living circumstances. Everything is of consciousness, and so as we emerge from the old paradigm, the very fabric upon which our lives have been founded is unravelling. As we process karma, it can often feel like being pulled through the eye of a needle, as first you contract into the density, and then emerge gloriously out the other side. How do you best ride this phenomenal rollercoaster?
