JANU: We are addressing, if you will, that which comes to the fear of awakening, which restricts the experience and can eliminate it temporarily. You ask, “Why would one fear to awaken?” The uncertainty of the unknown, the challenge to current preferences of understanding and relationship, the identity of self as human being of one gender or another, or profession, you see. Comfortable companions on the journey of incarnate life, they give a sense of security, permanence, stability, what to expect tomorrow. Awakening can be frightening until one begins to understand it.
“So, how does one begin?” you ask. By listening within for the truth of who you are. Your True Nature communicates to you in many ways. The desire to know. The desire to achieve. The desire to be more powerful in your own life. The desire to love more deeply, more universally, and understand the nature of love. Finding peace in a life where peace is challenged and not easily obtained. The universal questions, “Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? What is there to know?” and “Are there others that I have known and will know again and what was our relationship?” The relationship between your physical body, your thoughts, your emotions, your dreams.
As has been said before, the root fear of all fears is the thought and feeling of being alone, on your own and unaware. The time for sleeping, for more and more people, is drawing to an end, no longer satisfied with unanswered questions. A greater freedom is in the offing, our brother, freedom in every way. The people of your country cherish freedom but do not fully understand it, or how to achieve it and make it a way of life.
True freedom, true power, true peace, and a deepening love of life are some of the gifts of awakening. Not to leave the incarnate life, but to fulfill it. These potentials, and many more, are inherent in your True Nature. Claiming them is a way of life. You need only desire it and allow it to blossom within you. The understanding will come as the awakening continues and the Truth of Life is being revealed. Namaste.
