Today, I want to write a few words on awakening and what it truly means to awaken.

I see many people who are awakening, but still looking at the awakening through the lens of the old consciousness.

That means they haven’t yet dismantled enough of the old cultural and individual conditioning within themselves to see a different reality.

There’s still too much conditioning in the way. So they are trying to understand and process the awakening through the lens of the old reality: the old ways of perceiving the world, others, and themselves.

But those lenses are still part of the old consciousness.

So they try to fit their new experiences into an old reality or an old model of explaining reality.

And that’s just not possible.

It’s natural to view our new experiences through the old lenses in the earlier stages of awakening.

But after a while, we also need to look at those lenses themselves: the old filters through which we see reality.

Those old filters have to go too.

They are also part of the old reality.

The awakening goes all the way
