What Is Spiritual Consciousness, Awakening?: It’s Not That Complicated — to Start!

(Mike DePung — Post II.113–17)

If you have read much of my work, you know I place some emphasis on getting to a basic, foundational, least common denominator explanation before building any complexity. A subject like consciousness certainly entails complexity, but as I thought of it earlier today, I decided to make sure I could think about it at the simplest level.

In the sense I’m referring to it and the way most do, consciousness involves our mind and soul. Consciousness becomes an awareness that we have a higher Self, core Self, Heart, which is our essence, our true reality, but that core Self dwells in this physical realm inhabiting this body. The awareness of Heart, essential Spirit, within our body initiates consciousness. It’s about as simple as that, if you want simplicity. However, the ramifications of awakening, spiritual awakening, dawning consciousness, or however one may wish to reference it leads to a host of wonderful realities.

Many who have not awakened spiritually may very logically claim that we all have spirit, so what would be the big deal about pointing it out? Great question, I think. Not even sure I have an an… Wait, yes, I do!.
