FROM ASLEEP TO AWAKE
We have already discussed with some detail the experiencing of our spiritual DNA, but it deserves repeated attempts to clarify the reality of our situation.
The compartmentalization of the mind is merely a “device” of separation. For example: when you fall asleep and dream, the fact that you are sleeping is forgotten, and your dream becomes your new reality. When the mind “splits”, its former reality is forgotten (not lost), and its new condition becomes its reality. No matter what you are dreaming about, you have completely forgotten you are asleep.
The reality of your dream is realized to be only a dream upon awakening. Your previous waking condition is now “remembered”. The implications of this dynamic escape our notice on a larger scale. We think this “reality” is actually real. What we fail to realize is that our TRUE self in GOD has been forgotten, but that TRUE self is making continuous attempts to wake us up to this reality.
The prodigal son’s moment of epiphany (waking up) came when he remembered who he was, and where his true home was found. Our asleep-at-the-wheel reality is no more than a state of mind, which by comparison to who we really are, represents no more than a dream.
As we discussed in the spiritual DNA piece, evidence of this reality keeps bleeding through, as our TRUE self expresses LOVE, JOY and PEACE within this dream-scape. The fact that a lot of other “manifestations” of emotion/behavior less DIVINE also play out on this stage is a discussion for another day. But, let the ramifications of this mind-splitting dynamic start to sink in. You are more asleep than you know.
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee . . .
