Destruction of Awakening

Destruction of Awakening

Let's get down and dirty about aspects of awareness and insight that people don't talk about much but are critically important to not remain stuck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you perceive what is actually true, what is not true is destroyed.

Reflect on that a moment.

What happens to the previous perception?
What happens to the parts of you attached to that previous perception?
What happens to the structures in life you've built around this perception or identification?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Say, for example, you have lived years with the belief of vital importance of your job and the mission of this career. And you come to discover that this mission is no longer true; you are laid off, the idea never takes off, or your heart isn't in it anymore. You've put tremendous time into this job. You've associated your worth and value to the success of this endeavor. Now, you discover it is not true that your value is related to the success of this job. This was actually never true.


There can be quite a shock to discover the truth.
A sense of loss or perhaps confusion. Possibly a fear of 'now what' and the unknown. Or possibly a fear comes about investing once again in something not really true. How do you know?

Imagine how much more intense this can be when you discover your true nature?
Everything you've previously thought about what you are was an illusion!?! So what are you? What happens to your relationships now? Do you still want to even live here? What actually matters? Why do I still get upset with my grandmother? What is going on? Or even, why am I so blissed out about this difficulty...am I still deluding myself?

Awakening to truth destroys, literally, previous notions and assumptions.
In the wake of destruction, awakening to truth of your essence stirs up whatever is not aligned with truth- both inside and outside, as well. This is chaotic. And creative. And beautiful. And uncomfortable. And curious.

Stop controlling all the universe?
The mind may know that destruction and chaos is okay, or part of the process, yet still, most people find themselves reacting and trying to control the changes. The mind tells stories about how things should be and tries to control, trying to make everything be 'positive' or become a certain way. That's like trying to control a forest fire or tsunami. People try to manage their stories or keep things from happening. When reality doesn't match the story, we wonder, what am I doing wrong that my life isn't all 'perfect' the way it is supposed to be. All of these thoughts are just distractions from the truth.

The great mystery is allowing everything to be as it is.

Hello, life. There is no supposed to be. Hello, existence. There is no supposed to be.
The great mystery is allowing everything to be as it is. The destruction, and even the creation. Personal will, control, manipulation is really futile. Only the ego thinks it is supposed to make things be a certain way. Only the ego thinks it is making things happen. You're invited to embrace what is. Meet experience as a friend. The mind wants to control it, but your essence wants to Be. You can't make the thoughts go away by resisting, or even loving them. Don't feed them at all. Ironically, do nothing. It just is. Be with it. Whatever is here. Be with it.

In the being, remarkably, you experience being consciousness itself.
When you let everything be as it is, you fold deeply into the moment. You experience. And a mysterious thing happens, a transformation happens, an awakening to what is true happens. There is a great perfection and great wisdom already here when you allow everything to be as it is. Life inherently provides everything you need to awaken to your true nature, without you controlling it.

Your role is to be.
Your role, essentially, is to not resist what is here. When you do, everything you need to see and experience is right here, now. It will destroy what is not true, it will liberate what is not true, it will free you. Let everything be as it is. Be open. Be curious about right here. Be in all your senses. You are already the way you seek. That is why this works.
