Spiritual AwakeningMy spiritual awakening has led me on a journey through the raw times of life, and I have been present with many people during the transitions of birth and death.Spiritual awakening feels like it is happens the most when we experience order coming face-to-face with chaos. We have the opportunity and choice to see the barriers and blocks, the illusions we have placed in the way, and to remove guilt and fear, and then naturally be Love. The interface between order( what we hold as we know) and chaos( what we do not yet know or understand) opens a portal, an opportunity for growth for awakening. In these moments of deep spirituality we are always faced with a choice -- to open the portal or not. Opening the portal is choosing Love and in this action we see the illusion of fear and guilt. It sounds so simple, and it is, yet in the moment when we are sitting on the cusp of a portal, our mind can come up with so many reasons to run. Something deep within calls us forward to experience the depth of this spiritual moment. Our spiral of development continues either up or down depending on how much if we resist each moment or not. This deep calling will bring us home to Love. When a moment of enlightenment is achieved and the person experiencing it "Allows" it, and allows the moment to exist just as it is, the portal opens with ease, revealing a state of inspiration, clarity, connection .... Love Spiritual awakening can occur in the seemingly ordinary unfolding of our everyday lives, and the opportunity is there in every moment if we care to see it. You can recognise it by the feeling of your heart opening, a peace beyond all understanding flowing through your entire being, and the knowing from the core from the essence of your being of the connection and oneness of Love. © Carol Goddard 2008 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Carol Goddard is an Australian author and presenter, a reminder of who we are.
