What it really is, and why it happens

What is this thing called awakening and how do we find ourselves on the journey?

In some mysterious way, it is the larger gestalt of All That Is - now experienced and expressed through the individual consciousness of the self.

Why it is, and must be, an inner journey, as it does its work to bring us into contact with the authentic inner voice of ourself.

Ultimately, I think it's the calling from within of our true selves, calling us back to our rightful place in our own lives.

Showing up in turmoil, sudden changes in relationships, upheavals and losses we often cannot understand, it is that part of ourselves which directs us onward to what is truly calling us home.

Home, not to some outer defined destination, but home to that small voice within us that knows who we really are, and why we are here.

Developing the higher path of inner discernment is not a quick fix solution to 'get free'. It is a long term commitment to working to stay coherent within real life situations. It is the practice of developing the stance of the 'inner observer' to such a degree that we learn what it means to be capable of choosing our own highest and best outcomes and the highest and best outcomes for those around us. It requires that we allow those around us the same freedom to choose which we give to ourselves. Why? Because absolute freedom is not a personal battle cry, it is a way of being in the world that recognizes the sovereignty of every other person we interact with.

It is the pre-requisite to actually 'live from the inside out'.

What it means to build our own sovereign internal framework of perspective.

This is the inner work that takes us from externally driven to internal discernment. It is how we find our way to building a coherent, healthy, self supporting inner compass that leads ultimately to our own Inner Observer and the freedom and responsibility we seek to stand as a sovereign being in a co-creative world.

What it means to step into the space of love wholeheartedly for yourself and others.

Letting go of self judgment and past trauma to truly be of service.

Why healing is the work we are here to do not based on an idea of some agenda we have, but based on surrendering to the process of our own inner healing which transforms us and what we can offer others.
