Introduction

in AWAKENINGS JOURNAL

Welcome, fellow traveler!

This earth-sojourn of ours can be likened to a ‘field-trip.’ Literally. We are explorers immersed within a vibratory ocean of energy and matter, which responds to every output we project in thought, feeling, belief, intention and expectation.

Our bodies, a magnificent conglomerate of sensory mechanisms and living organisms which rejuvenate and sustain us, as we collect the fullness of sights, tastes, sounds, aromas and textures around us… all while formulating likes and dislikes, opinions and judgments of pleasant and undesirable.

Underlying it all, deep-down, a seemingly eternal search for some allusive and evasive fulfillment of wholeness and completeness.

Perspective

Our view of this world around us, indeed, the very idea of who we think we are, is colored… influenced… as are our projections.

The accumulation of past experiences, what we’ve been taught and accepted, formation of beliefs of our own, our family and friends; even the environment itself, all contribute to shape our overall mental and emotional state of being… fostering and internalizing intentions and expectations…

These are the gatekeepers… the fuel of our emotions which empower and influence all that we project… and subsequently experience.

Disclaimer

This is a personal journal colored by my interests in how life actually works; the verities of truth hidden beyond the surface. The motivation, a near-death experience at the age of ten, and the subsequent four decades of research, experimentation and exploration, both inward and outward.

Distraction

We have an infinite supply of resources, techniques, systems, theories, philosophies, dogma, doctrine and information available to us. Abundance in all its glory.

Credentialed professionals, motivational gurus, all manner of marketers branded as the latest in a long line of self-help and self-improvement experts. Etc. Etc.

Some have merit. Some rehash book-learning or beliefs with no true personal experience of their own… yet all have their rightful place.

When all is said and done, however, we each have a unique purpose to fulfill and an individually specific path to follow. Thus, the enlightenment and empowerment of self-actualization is not found or obtained by riding the shirt-tails of another.

Source

Through first-hand experience (at least one of which few survive to share), I’ve found only one source of guidance with which our highest good may always be found without fail or exception.

Simply put, we each have supreme guidance available to us. It’s not found ‘out there’ somewhere, for it is our own true essence which existed prior to all facade, and remains after the mask fades away, wherein truth may be… remembered.

Question

Look around. Investigate the doings and happenings beyond the surface. Is the world in which we live truly operating at its optimal potential? If society, celebrities and the self-ascribed powerful actually had the answers, would our world be as dysfunctional as it appears to be?

If you arrive at an answer that leaves questions in your mind as to the merit of things as they are, perhaps it may serve well to answer one simple question:

Would it make sense to bypass the noise and chatter vying for our attention, and instead proceed straight to our own supreme source of guidance?

I can offer to you only that there is an approach which allowed me to avoid the time, expense, and delays of straying afar from the most fulfilling journey one may undertake.

In this world, but not of it

We’re immersed in this lush, physical realm for a purpose. Running away from it is not only impractical, it is also contrary to our true goal.

Experience has proven to avail one’s self to our own unique guidance, a purpose is revealed beyond that which we can construct for ourselves. And, should we choose to act in accordance, the practical world reflects a seemingly miraculous transformation.

Seemingly, for it only appears foreign and magical from the perspective of living in misalignment to our true nature.

Upon awakening from the consensus dream, however, the miraculous is revealed as a natural attribute of our birthright, which has patiently and compassionately awaited our attention.

Cutting Loose From the Chase

There are infinite possibilities, and we may lose ourselves within them if we so choose. There is, however, a more direct route whereby far more favorable and immediate results may surface.

It is alluded to within mistranslated and misunderstood ancient texts of antiquity, quietly passed-down through oral traditions of most every ancient indigenous people.

If you share an interest in unveiling the life you are meant to experience, welcome. What fun we shall share together… illumined, in the field.

Blessings to you, always.

Hi Rod,

Thank you for visiting! It is nice to meet kindred spirits, indeed. Although it will be some time yet, I am determined my next home as off-grid as I can possibly make it. I’m very grateful we have connected.

Blessings and Love,

Thank you, Kimberly!

I am truly grateful for your presence. As you know from your experiences with your son, Pasti, life continues even when the facade falls away. The message you share with your site is truly important, and one which I wholeheartedly embrace.

In unity of spirit and light’s love, welcome, and thank you!

Good to read knowings from life and death experiences. Owl has taught me many things and is one of my best teachers; as is wolf and eagle.

We are called to this time and space to do what we contracted to do in the “long ago time”. Each has his or her own gifts. Combined, with all creation in the great web of life all creation… we are ONE. (my belief only) May we truly find our harmony for all.

En’ Lakésh Suzanne,

Thank you for visiting and sharing. Indeed, we have arrived in the moment of answering (awakening) our responsibilities accepted in the “long ago.” It is such a gloriously radiant opportunity of attunement which unfolds before us to share.

Blessings and Love,
Marc
