The Experience Of Awakening The Soul And Immortality

Some call it an awakening while others may define it as super-consciousness. Either way it is something akin to the Paul on the road to Damascus moment. It’s as if all knowledge is known, a time of enlightenment that comes along often without any warning.

In Paul’s case the Bible describes it thus (Acts 9:3–9)

Someone I worked with once described his awakening as if someone had touched him on the shoulder and he was aware of what he should do with his life, in what he described as a flash of light occurrence – the road became suddenly bright and he was aware of everything at once and for an instant seemed to know everything. The light dimmed and he became ‘him’ again but for the fact that he now knew which path in life he should take and why.

Many people have described their awakening or Paul moment. Dr Douglas Baker writes:

I’ve noticed that people often refer to a theme of eternity. Alfred, Lord Tennyson experienced this many times. This is his description:

From what I have read it’s as if the knowledge is within us all and is waiting to be remembered. It’s a reminder that we are spiritual beings. In the Expansion of Awareness by Arthur Osborn he writes: “… I always knew it – it is remembering an old thought – there is no death …”

If we could unlock the door to awakening our fears would disappear and we would realise the truth about ourselves. Some will describe this as a union with the Christ principle but other religions have their own ‘unions’. In the Upanishads it is written “Thou art That; That which is the finest essence – this whole world has that as its soul; That is Reality; That is Atman.” So their union is with the Atman, the Higher Self within man, which is the same as the Christ principle in Christianity.

But whatever our beliefs there can only be one truth.
