Into Awakening: the Mystery of Awareness

The school system is designed to teach obedience and conformity, and prevent the child’s natural capacities from developing. — Noam Chomsky

Creatures of spiritual essence and miraculous energy, we naturally crave a deeper sense of the human experience. We, in fact, are designed for just that.

Life nudges, and hints, waiting for us to awaken. We walk and drive with blinders so often that it’s not even surprising to hear about the frequency of accidents. Zombie Apocalypse = smartphone immersion. First a whisper, then a blow, and ultimately a brick wall: whether collision or cancer, life will ultimately keep striving to get our attention before it’s too late.

$20,000,000 question: what’s next, when life does actually succeed…?

Traditionally, no school or program has been available to aid in matriculating along a path toward enlightenment, or leading effectively to satisfaction, contentment, and bliss that ultimately beckons. No known system has been established, since that would potentially threaten the Societal System keeping the wheels of necessity functioning and in motion.

Some organized religions try; yet, fear impedes the natural order there. The very construct of organized religion depends upon constituents for survival. If they, at any point, could function independently from the Order, then that Order could subsequently die off. Therefore, dogma demands hierarchy as a substitute for direct connection with the Higher Power: order of protection.

Until very recent decades, it was thought to be heresy to even consider any possible variation or replacement for the dogma. Such thoughts — if expressed — constituted excommunication and other community stigmas, most fiercely enforced through family structures, handed down as tradition.

All of this merely lowered the collective consciousness and has maintained both division and dissonance that leaves us — as collections within the masses — vulnerable to the breakdown of hope, collaboration, betterment, joy, cohesion, and contentment. At the mercy of ego, we remain stymied.

Yet, we see that there is more…and we are more. That intuitive tug pulls at the heel of our jeans, the hem of the skirt, the sleeve of a t-shirt like the wide-eyed child still alive inside each of us. S/he wants to chase the wonder.

So, we search and we stumble. There are some sparkling ideas, great books, encouraging possibilities; yet, it seems to be all DIY in terms of assembly.

Much like the notion of IKEA feels inspiring in its simplicity…until the myriad pieces and hieroglyphic blueprint falls from the box…then, suddenly, simplicity has become masterfully complex. These InSights, and the #LV8 intention, combine in an effort to fill that fundamental void.

We will establish a baseline akin to hopscotch: approaching this from a standpoint of play that appeals to the inner Indigo, with the understanding that we are each farther along than likely to be amused by merely jumping rope. We honor the fact that — much like establishing an exercise protocol, or any new favorable habit — re-training our thoughts and de-programming old patterns of behavior requires reinforcement. Reinforcement benefits from accountability. We will have methods for this according to personal preferences and opt-ins: individualized, community-based, or both.

We recognize the distinction between synchronicity and chance (or “coincidence”), and agree that it already took us longer than logic or stubbornness should have dictated to reach this point. Hello, Ego.

So, we will each proceed at the pace we are drawn toward. We can choose to share with each other the magic and amazement encountered to add inspiration and encouragement. We will all have slumps and fall out of remembering again at times; let’s agree to add light in that darkness.
