If you held the key that opened all locks. And set all spirits free, to Awakening.
Would you???

I believe it is true that all spirits should attain immediate spiritual awakening, but some may not be able to adjust to this type of rapid movement into the fullness of everything - they may perish through a certain kind of shock. So, I say each should awaken in its time.

... oh yes ..

Hmm...excellent question Michael!! While I know the need for many to awaken and quickly, I would also be concerned about the impact it may have on some who are not ready yet....but then again, who are we to decide if they are ready or not?
Hmm...this could go around and around!!!

If I had the key to set all others free...my immediate answer is 'yes, of course, the world can't continue as it has been!'

But then....would that interfere with free will? Hmmm. Would directing other people's paths really help them in the long run? Awakening has to come from within when the time is ready and can't be forced. I realise now that to force such things would be like to take a rosebud and try to force it open before it is naturally ready to do so; you end up destroying it.

Most people in the world are very deeply under the spell of ego; it is their entire identity and many are willing to kill and to die to uphold that illusory sense of self. I believe that genuine spiritual awakening has little to do with adding a new set of beliefs (oh, I now believe in God and angels and all this higher stuff). That's a good start, but for many people it's still just ego adopting a slightly better content, while the underlying structure remains. I know people with wonderful new age beliefs who are still deeply dysfunctional people. Awakening to me is not simply a content makeover; it's a complete structural overhaul. It's 'dying before you die' - letting go of everything you think you are and everything you think the world is and all your beliefs and coming to a place of....wakefulness, seeing things as they are rather than through a screen of ego and concepts. That is my understanding of awakening, which deepens all the time.

Sadly many people would rather die than awaken because they cling too tightly to their ego identity and their wants and needs and opinions and likes and dislikes. Wars are fought over this.

Forgive my preaching to the choir Voicing this stuff helps me get clear myself.

I remember once lamenting 'when will the world wake up, when will people stop creating so much needless suffering and awaken?' And one of my teachers stopped me and pointed out that "the world" is an abstract concept and was really none of my business. 'The only real question is, when will YOU wake up, when will YOU stop creating so much needless suffering and awaken?" Ouch! Bang! Touche! We are only responsible for ourselves. We ARE the world. We can't make other people take the leap; we can only take it ourselves. I keep forgetting that, but it pays to remember.

Doesn't the slumber bond them to karma. And doesn't this cause them to relinquish free will?

Would you???

Tempting, very tempting, but that action could not be made in haste and would have to wait for the right moment - only then would it be beneficial for all Spirits.

[Lion Spirit Walker]

Through our shared perspectives and the realization that each is correct, we achieve a greater opportunity of a more complete understanding.
For this I truly thank you all.
Very Cool.

Every thing is as it should be..........
Have you not realized, can you not see? Their slumber causes our wakefullness.

Their fear brings us fearlessness.

We move closer to our purpose.

For with in the slumber of those fast asleep some have become awakened so that those keys might be found and unchain humanity.

yes


Cant you hear humanities voice crying out through YOU? Awaken!
