Wake-Up from the Spiritual Amnesia

by Frank M Wanderer

Who or what am I? I’m just the sum of my personal life story, memories, experiences, thoughts and sufferings? Or is therein me a hidden dimension of a mysterious Consciousness, which is superimposed by the noise of my personal life stories? Who is the one who experiences the world through my body? Who is hiding behind my eyes sparkling with life? What is the biggest obstacle to enlightenment? How to escape from the prison of Mind Games? How to find my True Self?

In our days there is an increasingly powerful alarming impulse, and the number of people sensitive to the spiritual wake-up call is getting bigger and bigger. The effects of this impulse, waking us up from our dream of identification with the forms and shapes is felt by everybody. We recognize that behind earthly successes and failures there has to be something deeper, something more profound in our life. Are you Sensitive to the spiritual Wake-Up Call?

In our present state of Consciousness we identify with the forms and shapes, and thus we are separated from the Oneness. In that state, most of us have forgotten our original state of existence. Nowadays, the majority of people consider the Ego, that small, detached Self, as reality. That is the consequence of our identification with the world of forms and shapes.

Our original state of existence is a state in which Consciousness is not identified with forms and shapes.  This state of the Consciousness is Life itself, the state of Oneness, and empty space filled up completely with the vibrating energy of love that encompasses everything else.

We need to understand that the only way of knowing ourselves is through direct experience, our own experience. We are only able to receive direct experience if we are alert. So as to be alert, we need to focus our attention to the Here and Now.

The gateway to the deeper dimensions of Life is Alertness. The Alertness enables us to learn about ourselves without identifying with our thoughts and emotions.

What we first experience in this new, alert state beyond our thoughts and emotions is the completeness of existence. In that state all fragmentation disappears from our life, we recognize the inner spaciousness of our existence, our inner happiness and tranquility. We feel at home in our own skin, and we realize that our alert consciousness is free from all kinds of thoughts and emotions.
