AWARENESS

 

​Hi brethren, 

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Messiah.

I read these words of Antony De Mello and I thought I should share with you.  

They challenged my consciousness, I believe they’ll challenge your consciousness as well.
“Spirituality means waking up. 

Most people, even though they don’t know it, are asleep. 

They’re born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. 

They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence. You know, all mystics—Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion— are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. 

Though everything is a mess, all is well. 

Strange paradox, to be sure. 

But, tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are asleep. They are having a nightmare. ……”
I ask that we wake up, face our wilderness, rebuke our sleep, refute conformity, embrace awareness and appreciate enlightenment that Christ asked us to keep. 

Let’s all refuse to be duped by the comfort of staying a sleep, the blissfulness of ignorance and strive for awareness and keenness. 

Remember our Lord ask of us, that we be keen and watchful for his coming will be pretty unpredictable.

Let’s tightly hug and cling to the transformation of our minds without conforming to earthliness as Apostle Paul preaches in his epistles.
Tranquil night and stellar dreams.
Regards,
