"A 10 minute vacation for the soul."
“Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving toward the summit of fulfillment.”
— John O’Donohue
“The solution to the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciousness of humanity to the divinity within.”

“The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn’t true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.”
– Ram Dass

— Eckhart Tolle

Wouldn’t it be nice if awakening were this mystical/magical kind of thing that happens all at once and everything from that point on is smooth sailing? If you are waiting for that to happen you may be missing out on where Spirit is trying to lead you.
Sometimes awakening gets messy. As your thoughts and beliefs begin to change your whole world can get turned upside down. And the world may continue to be upside down as awakening is not a one-time event. It is a process, a path, and a way of life as we continue to awaken and learn to live in the awakened state.
We are seeing that right now in our world as there is a mass awakening, as well as mass resistance and push back against the awakening. Where will this take us?
Life gets messy sometimes. So does spiritual awakening. The awakening process does not take us out of the world as it is. But if we listen to Spirit we will learn new ways of living in the world. If we stay engaged in the process and continue to awaken we will be a light shining in the world and an example to others. This is what will change the world.
“Sometimes it takes a wake-up call, doesn’t it, to alert us to the fact that we’re hurrying through our lives instead of actually living them; that we’re living the fast life instead of the good life. And I think, for many people, that wake-up call takes the form of an illness.”
—Carl Honore

“We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
