“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” ~ Andre Gide
Today is my birthday! So I want to celebrate by sharing with you one of the most important and essential things I’ve learned on this incredible spiritual awakening journey of life. The experience of self-realization…enjoy! 😊🎉
Becoming self-realized is the gateway to an infinite journey of freedom from suffering. You are living each moment in an intimate love affair with the Divine All-Intelligent God Source that’s inside you and all around you. You no longer feel separate from Divinity or the infinite creative power that manifests all things.
When you awaken to the realization that you are pure, untainted Divine consciousness at the core, your experience of life profoundly shifts. You know yourself as a spiritual being, beyond time, beyond space, beyond all form and formlessness. You realize that what you truly are is beyond anything the mind can describe. You are beyond every concept your mind has about "you."
When you reach this moment of self-realization, your awareness becomes so luminous that you no longer chase every unconscious thought the mind throws at you. You will hear thoughts, see them pass by, and yet, mysteriously, you don’t buy into their story or believe they are real. Your paradigm shift is so profound that, no matter what happens, you remain unattached to the mind’s illusions or anyone else’s perception of ‘reality.’
The self-realized mind sees all thoughts as passing illusions (mere reflections) and not reality itself. You feel much more interested in exploring a deeper, more intimate, direct connection with God (in the now) than in being lost in past/future thoughts within the mind.
A truly self-realized person knows no fear. They embody a deep, unshakable lightness about life. They embrace the transient nature of all things, allowing immense joy, appreciation, love, and laughter to flow through them. Their joy stems from the perpetual self-realized experience, which is like an infinite wellspring of the purest Angelic Light from within their being. They experience at the spiritual core of their being deeply close to the God Source and are totally surrendered to that spiritual connection.
"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop." — Rumi
A self-realized being knows that every atom in the universe, including themselves, is connected to the highest source of love, life, and consciousness. They see no human as separate from the infinite spiritual essence they are, temporarily expressing itself in billions of unique forms on this planet. They see how the Divine, all-intelligent, conscious Universe surrounds and lives within them. The body is allowing God to breathe you, filling you with life and experience.
A realized being is free from attachment to the physical world. They see the Divine play unfolding through the body-mind and, in this deep knowing, they surrender effortlessly. It is truly impossible for a self-realized being to get lost in drama or to be consumed by anger, desire, fear, hopelessness, or sadness.
These beings fully experience deep emotions, yet they understand each one as a portal into deeper wisdom. They see life’s diversity as a gift, making existence rich and juicy. There is neither attachment nor avoidance of any mental or emotional pattern. They are truly free from anxiety, pain, and suffering.
“And this is a miracle: the moment that you realize that there is no way to make a home, then this whole existence is home. Then wherever you are, you are at home.” ~ A Course in Miracles
