DID YOU KNOW?

Awakening/Enlightenment experiences happen within certain streams of most major religions. Judaism has Kabbala, Islam has the Sufi’s, Christians have the mystics and even Buddhists even though they are not technically a religion, have a form of it.

Most Christians define awakening as “waking up to the truth”. The problem is that this truth gets redefined, changed, deepened, etc over time. What was once awakening becomes old outdated theology. Awakening/enlightenment when based on truth(s) will eventually disappear because of growth in understanding and beliefs

Instead, it is generally accepted among the groups/streams historically that awakening/enlightenment is an experience or growth in an experience.

It is the experience where we are no longer living in reaction to our thoughts but have learned to quiet or ignore them altogether. It is the experience (not just idea or belief) of being one with all creation… people, water, trees, life, etc.

It is the experience of being undifferentiated from God and union with God. This is the testimony and experience of streams within all religions including Christianity throughout history.

If your stream isn’t leading you there, you may want to explore more than just a new truth but the possibility of a very deep experience.
