Thank you for this site. You have a gift for language, which is quite useful until the time we communicate via, i don’t know, love rays. i found this site by, perhaps, synchronicity, even though i can’t believe i just wrote that, and i have been coming back from time to time and to devour your posts. your perspective has really calmed me. i began reading this in july and not until last night when i returned did so many older posts make sense to me. things i’d read earlier but hadn’t experienced yet. thank you–the emotional rollarcoaster one helped save me.–jen

Beautiful. So refreshing to read about Ariel's awakening from the point of view of a real person from the 1st person in reality. There are truly so many bogus misrepresentations floating around that truth is mangled and obscured just for the sake it can be by those seeking to further themselves. Really, really enjoyed and understood your beautiful 3-part series. Thank you for sharing this beauty, terror and oneness. One Love Psiplexs last blog post..Apparent Loss of Control

@Irene: Thank you. I hope something is triggered within you.

@Anthony: lol, it’s the only place they could happen!

@Glen: It’s been ~2 weeks now since the awakening I described, which lasted just a few hours.

Since then, there’s been a sort of leveling off back to the unenlightened state, yet at a plateau that is higher than before the awakening.

It feels like being at a halfway point, like literally being on the brink of reawakening. Old habits and patterns still exist, but more due to habit and familiarity rather than actually being real. The physical world doesn’t feel very real at all, yet the awakeness is currently just a strong memory, mental knowledge, not current experience. There is a desire for the mind to “believe in” everything that was listed in this series of posts, but that will actually reinforce the illusion, DESPITE the fact that it’s actually Truth! Crazy, huh?

It’s truly about letting go of even what you know, what you KNOW to be your truth.

What’s interesting though is that when one has an awakening experience, even if it’s just temporary, the reality is SO real that buying back into the illusion of the physical world doesn’t feel like a possibility. It’s like being in a dream yet KNOWING you’re in the dream. There’s no way you’re going to believe it’s actually the ultimate reality.

You are right that it is an amazing thing, yet it can be challenging to maintain the state. Nevertheless, with dedication and devotion, the duration and frequency of your experiences will lengthen until they become the permanent state. For now, the feelings of bliss and peace are like signs of encouragement, pointers that you’re headed in the right direction.

Have you been able to keep this feeling? When I'm in the now it is the most amazing thing, but I really can't keep it, and it is so rare to get such a deep feeling... Glen Allsopps last blog post..Why I Chose Office Life over Working from Home

Hi Ariel,

Firstly, congrats on your re-awakening! That was a pretty powerful 3-part series … it’s given me some food for thought. I may need some time to digest this as well as you did, but I love the triggers.
