Awakening sense

welcome to Awakening sense

• Who awakens? Not you or I but our inner true Self, that core that is covered and encrusted by who we think we are.

•  Awakening's Treasure was published January 2012 (see  sidebar), and the themes presented there continue to unfold in these posts.

• Post comments have been discontinued. Anyone wishing to leave a general/overall comment please see bottom of About page.

permission granted?

We may believe this or that about awakening,
But isn't it all beside the point?

Yet belief in the possibility of awakening may be of some use,
For at least it can get the ball rolling.

But, watch out, this rolling ball can be very unpredictable,
As ego-mind easily gets crushed in this game.

For, beliefs or not, awakening's action is ever present,
And, with or without our permission, will likely have its way.

 

new cover, same book

Announcing a new face to my eBook, Awakening's Treasure. The design has been redone for greater visibility and am pleased with the result.

Also, a five day free download period is scheduled starting Wednesday, May 16 through Sunday, May 20 (click image for Kindle link; Amazon reviews are invited).

tipping points

If awakening is our natural state, our due,
Wouldn't we have a clue that's the case?

Or at least suspect all is not as it seems,
That we aren't what we think we are or seem to be.

Or reach a tipping point, a feeling of imminent change approaching,
LIke a visa confirming an upcoming journey.

Better yet, a whiff, a glimmer of something never truly forgotten,
Enlivening us with the breath of something truly ever present.

 

 

impossible gaps

What's obvious may not at all be apparent to ego-mind,
That it 's just not up to the job of awakening.

No matter how many affirmations it may finesse,
They boil down to empty manipulations.

For how can a self-enslaved heart break free,
And truly place the Beloved above all else?

Awakening's presence fills this impossible gap,
Allowing a stilled heart/mind to reflect a silent light.
