Not necessarily in that order but I think those are some of the key things that will help us to awaken. I wouldn't claim that I'm consistent in all of them but when I focus on them, it works for me.

Those are some of they key components not only to awaken but the KEY components to aid mankind to enable themselve to be the best that they could be.

Awakening is one part....you can't force anyone to wake up. They must do that themselves. "Wake up" seems to be derogatory (sp?) in the sense that those not knowledable were at fault. As if they were blind. I do not see it that way. Remember...TPTB have done a great job mininforming us and it is working awfully well. Like many of us who gather on forum's like these we did not 'wake up' over night...we ourselves went through a process of de-programming. Yet many of us if not all....are still not fully awake (we may think we are but it is so deep we can't fathom the depth of its existence).

Forgiveness, courage, a sense of purpose, and an open mind will help all of us but we will not be able to accomplish anything until we all fully understand our common purpose. We do not need religon or politics to do this. We do not need econimics and we certainly do not need a "Messiah" to do this. All we need is eachother. All we need is love.

Indeed, I agree that if everyone strived towards these goals the world would be a better place.

Courage is the one that I find noticable, if I have something that I will not do due to irrational fear, it pops up at all times.... If I overcome it by living my fear (however badly) the strength I feel after is superb and after a few times of doing that particular thing it goes away, then again if I don't manage to overcome it I feel terrible and it pops up again! People tend to put the shades on and the woolly earmuffs when a fear comes along, either try to ignore it and forget about it or run away.

The difficulty it takes though to overcome each situation is immense, you feel that weight on your heart and butterfly's in the stomach and this is me at 26 I cannot imagine the struggle at say 50!

On a note about the post, I agree with it and I think its superb, because it is so simple. All the best things don't need pages and pages long to make a point.

So kudos to you sir.

I seem to be waking up in stages, and im going through a very angry stage at the mo. Im in the process of letting go of some painful memories and situations, ive always been forgiving in the past and i am now, but i just find myself ranting and raving like a loon! This illusion that we live in is deeply engrained into our psyches and sub concious and remembering that it is an illusion can be quite hard too grasp, alot of us are still addicted to the chemical reactions we get from holding onto pain, anger and so on. It will take time and patience and alot of love but we will all get there.

Love n Courage D3l :D

Forgiveness is one of my biggest wishes for this earth and I feel one of the most overlooked and lip-serviced 'items for consideration' in life.

If we could all REALLY truly forgive each other.. everyone, for everything,... right this minute.. then the world would be transformed forever, in an instant.

:)

p.s. edit: also, "Repsonsibility".
This goes hand in hand with Forgiveness in many ways. My view is we each need to take full responsibility for ALL of our Thoughts, Words and Deeds. No excuses. Stop the 'blame game', on any level. Live in full awareness, moment by moment, day by day, of our responsibility to others, and to ourselves, and the earth.

It certainly takes a lot of courage to 'keep looking' once you've caught a glimpse of the truth, doesn't it?
Although I agree with you that forgiveness is important, I'm still at the 'angry stage' (though I know that will pass), and I'm having a problem with that aspect at the moment. I'll probably begin to forgive when I see a little (ok; a lot) more justice...
As for a sense of purpose; wouldn't that (apart from the desire and action to change things), manifest itself once the oppression were lifted?
It's during the (precious few) moments in my life where I've experienced freedom that I've never, ever had any problem deciding what to do next, or daydream/plan about what I'd like to do.
I'm sure many of you, as I do, have many thoughts tumbling around in your heads when a way of thinking / being is imposed...and find decisions more difficult to arrive at...than when you feel free? No?

I do think the biggest one out of this lot is forgiveness, once you truly grasp the power it holds it can free alot of pain and anguish from alot of people, im still working at it, once you forgive you leave more room for love to work its magic in your life and the forgivees life also. Ive wrote this in another thread and i,ll write it again, if hate can spread like a virus, love can also.....

Love n Courage D3l x

Nicely said:) I think forgiveness starts with ourselves imo. We are so programmed to be critical of our fallibility that we get lost inside the recrimination which blights feeling our own peace.

I know I have internalised so much self hatred because of not getting the "simple" acceptance found in the emotional touch of another warm human being. Love is a power which dissolves the compulsion to blame. And the antidote to all tyranny:)
