"I will be eternally grateful for Saniel's fathering.....he insisted to me more than once that my only hope was to clarify and realize Consciousness. And he was so right!"

It seems to me that before awakening there is no way the mind can even begin to get it's arms around consciousness. It seems to me that the value of trying to do so lies only in the somewhat zen principle of wearing out the mind with a koan so it can then give up and open up to what IS (consciousness). How can the mind, so lowly a creature, ever hope to embrace consciousness? So what exactly is meant by "clarifying consciousness". How have you experienced it? It feels to me that I never did any of that. Even so I know that I am consciousness itself. How this happened is an inexplicable and mysterious event to me.

Now my mind seems to be becoming more and more usless. I can go for hours on end without accessing it hardly at all. I've become a rather mindless creature. Today I took a nap and I was aware of being conscious the entire time but my mind was quite asleep. A strange state.

I love the story, Kyla, of your awakening and especially about how low key it was. That seems to be a common feeling doesn't it? When I had my 2B it was so low key that I told Ted I was having a dull day. The only strange thing was that there wasn't any God out there anymore because there wasn't any "out there" anymore. Ted, fortunately for me, picked up on this statement and said he thought I was in my second birth. It took two months before I believed him.

Your experience is so interesting. The looking glass part is particularly fascinating and intense sounding. Wow. I'd love to hear more. And I'm hoping more people will share their stories of awakening. This is SO interesting. I love to see how Being operates. I love the sense of orchestration She brings to all She does. I love how in retrospect it all makes sense and falls into place. Yes!
