Self-Awareness
Progressing on the spiritual path is no easy task – a seeker faces unique challenges that only he can try to overcome. How you connect to the spiritual realm is something you as an individual seeker need to work out for yourself, through trial and error and with some guidance and soul-searching ... The best way for awareness of Self to happen is slowly from within, like day break, when the brightness of the sun is experienced very gently, until it shines forth steadily ... While we cannot come to grips with the core of spirituality through our mind and brain, we can subliminally sense it from the core of our being if our restless mind doesn’t continue its incessant chatter ... The soul already has a subliminal sensing of an abiding awareness. So, once it picks up the spiritual cue again, there will be an intense and soulful reconnect. When such a spiritual moment happens, you feel intensely alive and aware.... If we consciously try to enhance our awareness of the Self here and now, and become as sensitive as a wearthervane (a revolving pointer to show the direction of the wind) to the totality of existence at the present moment, the subconscious dependence of the soul on material objects would disappear.
