What Is Awakening

Non-Physical Origin

Physical form acts as a tangible map, representation, or “interface” for deeper, non-physical realities born of consciousness, energy, or spiritual essence. Just as a map represents a territory without being it, the physical body or material world is likewise a map of non-physical information that shapes the physical construct.

Spiritual awakening is the process of exploring yourself as this map, to experience your non-physical, multidimensional nature alongside the interplay of your viewpoint, feelings, experience, and physical expression.

You exist simultaneously on different planes, in different paradigms. You exist in a formless state as fully realized particles. You also exist as a light body that does not degrade. As you integrate your awareness of these planes into your map, your experience of physical form can transform. You can synergize your form with your intelligence on these planes to expand what is possible in your life and reality.

For example, if you experience your Astral and Causal consciousness, you can explore how their qualities reshape experiences and interactions with others.

Your Astral Self

Awakening often begins when you access your Astral energy and consciousness. You become familiar with its qualities, and with your gifts and abilities developed beyond this lifetime.

Many stop here, integrating some Astral capabilities. It is really up to each individual what is right for them, what they are looking for in life. You can retain the overall idea that you are a person, just with access to more. A person with an advanced awareness and spiritual abilities.

Identification

Awakening is also about your identity. Some desire to transcend the identity of being a person, and explore the nature of oneness. Before awakening, you identify as your physical body and its past experiences. As you awaken more and more, you start to shift that identity to your spirit or Atman. From a multidimensional perspective, you already exist on the Astral and Causal planes. Opening your identity to include your existence on these planes is another element of awakening.

There are also deeper levels of awakening, where your identification shifts to be pure consciousness, to be the source or creator. Your awareness, like a wire, spans from your constructed form, back to the source of all energy and vibration. It can also go the other way, from source to your reality. Your heart chakra, like the center of each atom, provides the doorway between inward and outward, between source and manifest reality, as shown below:

In a deeply awakened viewpoint, you recognize that you are the consciousness that constructs, as well as the result of that construction. As the creator, you can decide how you want to feel by changing the thoughts that form your experience. Beyond how you feel, you can ultimately change your physical state and alter your form.

Awakening also involves swinging back and forth between your linear, finite, more physical experience and the more fluid, flowing consciousness experience. It takes a bit to acclimate your body to what you are beyond form, and unwind from your linear viewpoint as a person. It is normal to move back and forth as things integrate.

Embodying Your True Nature

Awakening also includes the changes your body goes through to acclimate to your True nature. Your body may be rather used to the stresses of life, the adrenaline, cortisol, and habits you developed. You are also used to “fitting in” with a societal point of view, and the sense of belonging that brings. Embracing your awakening can mean weaning yourself from stress, as well as letting go of the desire to fit in.

Embodying your True nature doesn’t mean leaving life and everything behind. You don’t have to leave the Physical plane to embody your Astral expression, Causal presence, and creator consciousness. Rather, you can become truly multidimensional, limitless, and free to create your reality. You can live your life from a deeper experience of joy, connection, and wholeness.
