Who do you think you are?

Just who do you think you are? And what do you think you are doing?

These are two questions you don't ask yourself often enough. You are alive, but you have no idea what you are doing here or who you really are. Isn't that rather strange? The two most fundamental questions never get answered for most of us. We spend our whole life living - doing so many things - seeking happiness - acumulating money - raising a family - developing a career - or running a business etc… BUT - we never stop to wonder WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE… Why are we doing all this? Just what are we hoping for here? A miracle? Let's just stop and take a break, as we try to figure out what is happening here…

First of all, we spend our life creating those things which have NO ULTIMATE VALUE for us. When we die - nothing we create here will help us. We have no idea what death is. We don't even know why we are alive - or what we are doing here on planet earth. We just exist from day to day - struggling to survive. The more we have the more unhappy we are - we live in constant fear of losing what we have, and we live in fear of death. What a way to live. There is another way to live. It is called AWAKENING. It is an inner journey of self-realisation - finding out WHO YOU REALLY ARE. You are not who you think you are. You are more - much more. Much more in fact than you can possibly imagine. But I cannot tell you who you are. For one thing - you would not believe me - and in any case - you have to find out for yourself. This is the inner journey from ignorance to true knowledge. Just how do you awaken? You stay in the company of an awakened person. The very act of being there and listening intently will awaken you. Your awareness will expand. You will start to ask yourself deep and powerful questions. The answers will come from inside you. No worship or ritual is required. The awakened one simply helps you to awaken. He needs nothing from you - he is the ultimate giver - he gives you yourself. He takes you on a journey from the unreal to the real. He awakens you to the truth. He makes you authentic.

What do I do to awaken?

The ultimate question. Answer: nothing. You cannot do anything, because awakening just happens when the time is right. Yet there is something you can do to encourage awakening. Keep the company of an awakened one. Listen to him. This is not as easy as it seems, because very few of us truly listen. In order to listen - first throw away all your previous thoughts and ideas on awakening and spirituality. All the concepts and ideas you have are useless - dump them in the nearest bin. Throw them all away. They are of no value. All they will do is get in the way. Come with an open mind. Ask lots of questions - get all your doubts removed. Don't try to understand awakening - you cannot. Just let is happen. Keep and open mind and listen intently - listen with your heart. Ask questions - but then be open to the answer.

How long does it take to Awaken?

It is instant. It is immediate. It takes one second to awaken. But there is a problem - an obstacle to awakening. That obstacle is you. You are the only person stopping yourself from awakening. You will only awaken when it is right for you. Your whole life is a preparation for the awakening. All your problems - everything that happens - is just perfect. It is all happening to take you to awakening, including the very reading of this text. In your life you are playing a game. Maybe you are playing the game of being a seeker. That is where you want to be right now - that is why you are there. When you have had enough of playing that game - you will move on. When all your seeking games are over - you awaken. For many people it happens through pain. Pain in a great awakener - because it makes you face up to things. It makes you truly evaluate your life - and gets you to answer some deep questions.
