In our pursuit of purpose and understanding, a deep yearning stirs within us—a longing to transcend the boundaries of our ordinary existence and soar towards a higher plane of consciousness.
This innate desire for ascension, firmly ingrained in the human spirit, calls us to surpass the limitations of the material world and embark on a profound voyage of self-discovery and spiritual illumination. Ascension, an age-old concept cherished by mystics and sages across diverse traditions, holds the key to transcending our current state and attaining an elevated awareness of our authentic essence.
To embark on the journey of ascension, it is crucial to delve into the depths of self-awareness.
Often, our focus tends to be solely on the objects of knowledge, neglecting the knower—the essential aspect of understanding ourselves. Meditation techniques such as self-remembering offer a pathway to gaining self-awareness by encouraging us to remember ourselves as the subject while knowing something. By consciously recognizing the knower within us, we unlock the potential to deepen our understanding of both ourselves and the world around us.
Tap into the profound wisdom of "I am," a simple yet potent mantra that holds the key to awakening your consciousness. In the midst of your daily activities, let this remembrance reverberate within you.
Whether sipping water or savoring a meal, keep the flame of self-remembrance alive. It may seem unnecessary, for you believe you already know your existence. But trust in the power of this practice, for it holds immense potential!
As you walk, let the rhythm of your steps harmonize with the steady chant of "I am, I am, I am." Allow this self-remembering to permeate your being. Listen attentively, absorbing the words spoken to you while staying rooted in the awareness of "I am, I am, I am." Let this awareness be a constant companion, ever-present in your journey.
In every moment you remember, begin with the phrase "I am." But remember, it's not about merely saying the words out loud. Instead, focus on cultivating the feeling within you. Allow it to resonate in your being.
Let your awareness go beyond surface-level repetition and truly connect with the essence of "I am." For instance, when you touch someone's hand, don't just feel their hand; feel your own touch as well. Be fully present at that moment, aware of your own presence within the touch.
Similarly, when you eat, it's not just about consuming food; it's about feeling yourself eating. Let this sense of awareness and sensitivity sink deeper and deeper into your mind, gradually permeating your entire being.
As you delve deeper into self-remembrance, you will witness a remarkable shift. The more you realize your own truth, the more the world around you loses its grip on reality. The "I" within becomes the epitome of authenticity, while the external realm dissolves into a dreamlike illusion!
The dichotomy between the real and the unreal unravels. The world cannot be real if the "I" is real, and vice versa. Embrace this change in perspective, for it has the potential to transform your very existence.
Most people go through life in a state of slumber, oblivious to the need for self-remembrance. But you have been given the rare opportunity to awaken even while awake. Take any moment, any fragment of time, and invoke the power of "I am."
It is not a matter of mere repetition, but a profound feeling that must permeate your entire being. Let this sensitivity seep into the depths of your consciousness.
And one day, like a sudden burst of sunlight, you will find yourself awakened at the core of your being! The world, once a dream, will reveal its illusory nature. You will realize that your own world is nothing but a dream. As this realization dawns upon you, the dreaming ceases. It can only persist if it is perceived as real. But the moment you recognize its unreality, the dream dissolves.
With this awakening, you shed your old self like a worn-out cloak. The slumbering soul gives way to a luminous being—a Buddha, an awakened one. In this state of awareness, misery dissipates, and death loses its grip. Fear is but a distant memory!
By liberating ourselves from the realm of sleep and transcending the illusions of dreaming, we attain true freedom.
In this awakened state, the chains of hate, anger, and greed dissolve, replaced by the essence of love. Love ceases to be a fleeting emotion; it becomes an integral part of our being. We embody love itself, breaking free from limitations.
This awakening empowers us to walk a path guided by love, granting us the freedom to live authentically and experience profound fulfillment.
