AWAKENING & CLARITY

THE SEEKING OF A PATH – Awakening
 
One awakens and seeks direction and clarity to doubts

This is the beginning of seeking when a seeker experiences awakening. The awakening usually involves an incident or situation where one begins questioning the experiences of life and the meaning and purpose of life. This phase is full of doubts and one keeps seeking the truth across all the paths.



REFLECTION ON THE REAL

THE WISDOM OF THE PATH – The Learning
 

One reflects and begins relating wisdom with one’s experiences

On seeking multiple paths and knowledge keeps presenting itself to the seeker until the seeker keeps clarifying all doubts. These clarifications can be from those who have realised the truth or through authentic scriptures that act as guidance. Finally, one comes inline of the knowing that one’s ego is the cause of all bondage of life and that the ultimate goal of human life is to realise this ignorance by abiding more in one’s true Self.


 

 


DESTRUCTION OF CONCEPTS

THE CHURNING OF THE PATH – The Purging

One begins practicing to remove all clutter and concepts

Having realised that the obstacles to one realising one’s true nature, the seeker makes all efforts to purge out all the unwanted clutter gathered during lifetimes in ignorance. While most of the cleansing happens, one realises that the greatest obstacle to realising the Self is the removal of concepts that were gathered with the ignorant projections of the mind.


 
 

 


IN THE WORLD YET NOT OF IT

THE GRACE OF THE PATH – The Blooming

One begins living less in body consciousness & more in divine presence

In this stage, though the seeker still is bound by ego and it’s false projections, one becomes certain that liberation is not by living in the mind/ego and all it’s projections but by living more in one’s true nature. The seeker begins living more and more in one’s own presence rather than the false identity one carries.

ABIDING IN THE SELF

THE PATHLESS PATH – The Liberation

Grace magnetically absorbs the soul back into the Source.

With more and more expansion of one’s divine presence of divine love and light, the seeker gradually moves into the state of being free even while being in the body. The body or mind, though alive, does not hold the soul that is living in freedom in the body, going about doing it’s regular activities. All previous phases involve the active participation of the seeker but this stage is of pure grace. In this state there is nothing worth DOING but is pure BEING. Grace purely absorbs the soul back into its Source. One simply becomes THAT.
