JANU: We welcome this opportunity to explore your concern this morning as to the nature of the manifestation of the evidence of awakening.
The manifestations and evidence are many. Insights. Moments of compassion. Some passions and desires. The strength to proceed in the face of challenges. Gratitude to exist. The love of another. Respect for life. Liberating insight. The ability to know what seemed unknown. Profound peace. Wisdom beyond your years. An ability not learned in this sojourn. Insight that serves another. Memories unexplained. A sense of well-being beyond the physical journey, you see. Communication with other realities. A sense of direction in your life, without knowing how to achieve it but it still draws you. Seeing beauty and love in a child and their openness to life, their trust in their parents, and their forgiveness.
Many more, our brother, are the manifestations of awakening and little things are the grand things. The ability to see the grandness in everything is someone awakening. A journey without end, for life is without end and always renewing, creating, expanding. And your consciousness, your True Nature, are the evidence of this. Looking not, then, for pinnacles but continuation of the journey. No crowning moment of fully arriving, you see, but miracle unending. Patience, peace, commitment, and loving acceptance. Foundations on the path, our brother. Namaste.
