Awakening
Awakening carries the meaning of waking up from a dream. By referring to classical texts, you can find phrases such as “suddenly awakened” used by Zhuangzi in his butterfly dream, and poetic lines like “Who wakes up from the great dream,” which extend the concept of waking up from a dream to awakening and enlightenment.
According to our understanding that “Sense, Awareness, Awakening, and Enlightenment correspond to the first four chakras in the seven chakras, and the first four layers of the consciousness. Consciousness has a total of eight levels, like eight densities in the universe. Please see the table below:
Glossary Table | Awakening
COLOR/RAY | CONSCIOUSNESS | STATUS | REMARK | |
1 | Red | Survival/Instinct | Sense | 1st Density |
2 | Orange | Ego/Self-awareness | Awareness | 2nd Density |
3 | Yellow | Social Relations | Awakening | 3rd Density |
4 | Green | Love/Understanding | Enlightenment | 4th Density |
5 | Blue | Free Communication | Light | 5th Density |
6 | Indigo | Connect to Cosmic Energy | Unity | 6th Density |
7 | Violet | Wholeness | Oneness | 7th Density |
In the articles and blogs, we refer to the first three levels of consciousness as “body consciousness” or the “lower three centers” of consciousness. The fourth level is known as the green-ray “love and understanding consciousness” and also the “Gateway of Consciousness”. The last three levels are considered spiritual consciousness or the upper three centers of consciousness. Learn more…>
This is the material vehicle used by third-Density humans. Through this vehicle, we experience catalysts. This body possesses the characteristics of a mind/body/Spirit Complex. It is equivalent to what we refer to as the physical illusion. The yellow-ray pertains to the social relationships between individuals and groups. The yellow-ray vibration lies at the core of antagonistic actions. Thus, when an entity or group feels a legitimate need, it will act to dominate other groups and compel them to submit to the will of the dominating group.
For example, the blockage of the navel chakra is closest to what we understand as the ego. It is the center of the yellow-ray or the solar plexus. Within this center, there are manifestations of power and control, as well as other social behaviors primarily related to interaction with specific entities. Entities with blockages in the first three energy centers will continue to experience difficulties in advancing their consciousness.
The Beginning of Awakening
It can be described as the start of consciousness or the ongoing process of changing One’s perspectives and beliefs. For example, One day you suddenly (or gradually, as it varies from person to person) feel that your previous way of life is not right, and you make a determination to start seeking a spiritual path or a new direction in life. Another example is when you have been pursuing wealth, fame, and success, but instead of finding happiness, you encounter constant worries. You begin to realize that this is not the purpose you are seeking. You make a decision to reevaluate the direction of your life. This can be seen as the beginning of awakening.
Does the soul exist? Is there extraterrestrial life? Are there “gods” or higher beings wiser than humans? Where does the soul go after death? Is there a destiny? How should we choose our way of life? Belief is the watershed. However, belief does not necessarily have to be religious.
Awakening is a spontaneous and conscious process that is then translated into action. Essentially, no One, no “God” can help you awaken. Awakening must come from within yourself. Enlightenment, on the other hand, has countless ways and methods. You can learn on your own or learn from a teacher. As Buddhist scriptures say, there are eighty-four thousand Dharma teachings in the world.
Awakening begins with awareness, being aware or realizing the possibility of a mysterious existence, and then being driven by desire, embarking on a journey to seek the truth. Sense, awareness, awakening, and enlightenment are all important stages on the path of pilgrimage and evolution. Without sensing, there can be no awareness, if there is no awareness, there will be no awakening; let alone enlightenment. Only when you are enlightened you can graduate from the third-grade school of the Universe.
The Awakening of a Dreamer
When I was young, I belonged to the category of shallow dreamers who possessed the characteristic of deep dreaming. I was born into a household of atheists, so while I had some awareness of the possibility of the existence of “God,” I remained skeptical. At that time, I had no desire to seek the truth; my mind was filled with other desires. Naturally, I didn’t believe in the existence of other life forms or spiritual beings evolving beyond the material world. It was also impossible for me to perceive or be aware that there was knowledge beyond what was taught in prestigious institutions or known by the elite, and that this knowledge could be easily obtained through various means. I was someone driven by desires, but my desires were misplaced. I had woven countless grand plans for myself. However, as I soon realized, none of these plans aligned with the plans of the Creator, leading to inevitable failure. Fortunately, One day I finally became aware that there might be a higher power or “divine order” at work behind the scenes. With this newfound awareness and an understanding of its importance, I set forth my desires in the right direction. Driven by my thirst for knowledge, I began reading books about past lives and engaging in meditation… thus opening the door to awakening…learn more >
Awareness begins with experiencing countless failures, and these “failures” or so-called “misfortunes” become catalysts that ignite the moment of awareness. Driven by the thirst for knowledge or the desire for knowledge, awareness embarks on the path of awakening. In the end, what has once been considered misfortune transforms into great fortune. I am fortunate to be known as a “Lightworker” and to offer completely free services to readers. Learn more…>
This chapter on “Awakening” includes a brief overview of consciousness, the thirst for knowledge, awareness, and realization. It is a necessary process to go through before reaching enlightenment, and not a single step can be skipped. The summary is as follows:
Spiritual Path
Sense, awareness, desire, and awakening are all different stages of consciousness on the spiritual path. Taking desire as an example, the frequency of consciousness in which a person resides determines the kind of desires, aspirations, and needs they have. Consciousness determines One’s destiny. Learn more…>
Sensing
Discovering a similar pattern in every failure, such as repetition, accumulation, and directionality. For example, when you drive along a familiar route and consistently encounter a red or yellow light at a particular intersection, regardless of the time of day. When you become aware of this unusual pattern and attempt to choose a different route, you find that the light is almost always green at another intersection. This repeated experience leads you to contemplate – this can’t be a coincidence, could it be related to destiny, is it the arrangement of fate? Learn more…>
Awareness
Awareness is when it ascends to another level. I refer to this level as mindfulness. I believe that within a mind/body/Spirit Complex, positive or negative polarization begins at this level of consciousness.
Desire
The pursuit of truth requires the support and drive of the desire for knowledge; otherwise, the truth will not simply come knocking on your door. The desire for truth is One stage of consciousness’s evolution, and it is the beginning of the vibrational process from bottom to top… If the vibration works correctly, a person’s consciousness gradually transforms from the “subconscious” to the “superconscious“. Of course, this process may be lengthy. Learn more…>
