First 3 life awakenings
There is one blindness in all humans, Buddha says, that brings all sufferings to humans. Once you awaken from this, all the other awakenings will come.
It’s like building a house with the wrong foundation, everything you build from that wrong foundation will also be wrong. This will make it a dangerous house to live in.
The wrong calculation of this foundation is, that our consciousness takes our body as ‘ourselves’. But if you think about it, your body is made up of the four elements, of the four elements which one is you? Fire? Then the sun should be you too. Air, air is everywhere does that mean you are everywhere? Water, water is also everywhere is the ocean, or in the toilet… are you toilet water?
The four elements united for a temporary time is called illusion being. Illusion ‘being’ illusion means changing and being means continue, continue to be something, be-ing because it is a continuous process. Because it is always changing, it is always beautiful, except when the changing is in an unwise and unharmonious way, then it becomes problematic. Life should be moving and changing. Not to change is wrong, to change in an unwise way is also wrong.
Find a way to make all the change without tension, in a united harmony way. That ability is called wisdom.
If consciousness can be aware of the body, then it is clear, that consciousness is NOT the body. Then consciousness is you, without consciousness you would not be aware of anything. You are living in the body without the understanding of how to do meditation out of body, so it is difficult to imagine that the body is not you.
Once consciousness is awakened can control information, it will no longer be limited to the body.
This body which is part of illusion being is always changing, which means that death doesn’t really exist. When you awaken to this fact, you will be totally happy. Death is just a big change. The body just becomes a part of illusion being and consciousness continues to be aware. Once you realize this you will feel totally free from the fear of death.
The other awaken from this would be that all your ego that you develop from your body eg. I am a girl, so I must be weak, or I am a guy so I have to be macho will disappear because you realize that the body, whether male or female, is not you.
Taiji does not rely on being macho, it is about being fast and precise. So it’s not a question of your size, it’s a question of how fast you can use and be aware of your energy.
A female body appears because that consciousness has a habit to want to be weak, wants to depend on others – but wisdom ability doesn’t care. If you have wisdom your awareness power has no fear at all.
If girls can be awakened realize that then they will realize that all these limitations don’t need to be there. The problems is society manipulate girls by telling then that they are weaker, then girls develop a laziness to use their sexual charm to get what they want – from there it is the wrong foundation that continues to be wrong. Men feel as though they have play this macho role as though they don’t need true care.
In fact, some men are much more weaker than women. Men live in this fake character for the rest of their lives.
Most people are so lost in a character that they aren’t even aware of. They don’t have the power or desire to observe themselves.
So our observing to ourselves is very limited. Can you describe to me who you are without describing aspects of your physical identity – the essence of your heart of character.
1st Awakening
Body is not you – because it is a part of the four elements. Therefore your awareness is not limited to this body. But because you are blind to this fact, you accept this blindness and remain limited to this body.
You are awareness ability.
2nd Awakening
DEATH – it does not exist. It is just a part of changing – so there is a big change coming, but because our body is constantly changing you could say we are always dying in some way – but consciousness is not the body, its essence does not change. So you are not dead, its just that your illusion being body changes into a new form.
3rd Awakening
Because we are not aware that this physical identity I is not us, we believe that this is who we are – it becomes our I. We create an Ego – which limits our ability to enjoy life. Becoming free from this illusion of illusion – Ego I.
