Ditch Enlightenment, Choose Self-awareness

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

In the field of self-work, self-awareness is the key and you will be continually guided every moment through symbolic images and metaphorical manifestations to grow in awareness. 

All life and consciousness is ever-expanding, evolving and strive to move forward, caught in the momentum of the cosmic rhythm of continuous expansion.

To think that we are not part of this symphony and that we are separate is the greatest disservice to our micro-evolution within the emergence of the collective cosmic dance.

To believe that we’ve arrived, and this is all there is and that we’re awake and the work is done - is the real curse of the modern world.

To know that we don’t know and that we have limitations is a way to yield a grounded process in self-work.

To wear humility as a cloak is the foreground of larger opening to the mystical, initiation into mythic depths of the consciousness. A deeper awareness and understanding will emerge of the symbolic nature that occurs, and we will come to know the value of self-work instead of labelling it as repetitive obstacles and challenges.

To become aware is the breakthrough of the absolute conditions of our wiring. To become aware is a step into the wonder, curiosity where we encounter forces that lead us to new levels of dimensions. A new appreciation will be found in self-awareness, inner harmony, flow, a dissolution of arrogance, self-righteousness, self-importance.

Self-awareness allows us to pay attention to the unspoken, the unseen, recognise the signs through the eye of a humble mind in our quest for inward awakening to our soul journey.

Love and Courage
