Have you ever glanced at the daily news and wondered what the hell is going on? How did we get to this level of craziness? I promise, the anger, hate, and fear that we see in the world did not start on September 11th, 2001, nor did it begin on November 8th, 2016. What we are experiencing is the result of an age-old problem. We have forgotten our ONENESS. We are all branches on the same tree. The root cause of all pain and suffering is the illusion of separation. We feel disconnected—separate from our Source, from each other, and from the Planet. It’s time to awaken from this dream state. Please, don’t hit the snooze button. The world needs you NOW.
Although I know that “forgetting” is a natural and necessary stage in our development, so is remembering! To put it in a nutshell; I believe we are all born into this world as Body and Soul, both equally important for the adventure that lies ahead. Sometime during our early development, the Soul volunteers to step-aside—going into a temporary hibernation. You see, man cannot serve two masters—and at this stage, we have much to learn about being human. Our survival depends on it! As a matter of fact, we become so accustomed to taking instructions from our ‘small self’ that we completely forget about the Soul—our Sleeping Giant. Have no shame or guilt. This is all part of a Master Plan.
As I explain in my book, Awaken the Sleeping Giant, the ‘School of Life’ is meant to teach us, strengthen us, and eventually lead us all to awakening. What are we waiting for? This isn’t rocket science! The Soul's hibernation and man's amnesia were only intended to be temporary. Awakening is simply the process of becoming self-aware or ‘remembering’ our True Nature. When did we become so complacent—comfortable in our discomfort? Have we really come to believe the old adage, life’s a bitch and then you die? I hope not, because it’s a lie.
Life is meant to be a fun, lighthearted adventure—full of joy, love, and abundance. Unfortunately, we can’t experience this until after we awaken. It's funny, about 30 years ago when I was first presented with this concept of 'awakening', I honestly thought it was a bunch of crap. Some hocus-pocus fantasy or maybe at best, a state of being only achieved by some highly evolved Master. WOW—was I wrong! Not only is awakening easy and accessible to all, it's the freaking end game—you know, the purpose of Creation.
We will all eventually feel the empty void created by the absence of the Soul. Celebrate when this day arrives. The 'discomfort' caused by this void is the beginning of the awakening process. The Giant patiently waits for you to look within and reunite. Unfortunately, most of us choose to look for external solutions to fill this void (more money, toys, power, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, etc.). We soon learn that these external fixes are only temporary, leading us to more suffering.
I guess you can say, in a mystical way pain is good, eventually leading us all to surrender. How long this process takes is directly related to your pain tolerance. I was one of the stubborn ones! It took me decades to learn my lessons and to finally look within for answers. Like any school, the School of Life will be difficult if we're not paying attention. It doesn't need to be this way! A simple shift in awareness is all that is required. The BIG question—can we awaken and reunite with our Better Half while we still have plenty of time left to play?
Why the sense of URGENCY? Because if we continue to experience life in this dream state, feeling small, scared, and angry—we’re going to kill the tree! When we become self-aware and awaken to our True Nature, we remember our ONENESS—our connection to each other and to all of Creation. And when we begin to see ourselves in the eyes of the ‘others’, the world will quickly change.
