Spiritual Awakening - What's The Big Hurry?

Why Do So Many Seem To Be Racing Towards Spiritual Enlightenment and Expanding Consciousness?

I’ve come across several spiritual teachers who appear to be urging their followers rather frantically towards rapid spiritual awakening. According to them, time is very much of the essence when it comes to achieving spiritual enlightenment. These teachers seem to be treating a spiritual awakening as though its attainment were the product of diligent effort or an act of will. Nothing, in my opinion, could be further from the truth.

A spiritual awakening, spiritual enlightenment or expansion of consciousness can never be forced. The upwards unfolding of consciousness occurs naturally and is best supported through love, acceptance and peacefulness towards our current state of being and current experience of reality.

Interestingly enough, it is through one of these teachers in particular that I’ve come to a certain level of new spiritual enlightenment myself. I’m finding that by reading the supposedly channeled words of “St. Germain,” I’m coming to new vistas of understanding and perception regarding the issue of spiritual enlightenment and expanding consciousness. We often learn equally well by observing negative example as well as positive. I find myself becoming quite passionately invested when I read the channeled words of St. Germain.

St. Germain and many of these other teachers I take issue with, seem to be frantically urging their students towards choosing spiritual awakening and ultimately towards ‘choosing ascention’. Recent posts by St. Germain (as channeled by Aruna Byers) state that low numbers of fully awakened chelas means a very slim chance for ascension. This fact is stated with a dire tone of foreboding and forewarning. There is an urgency to St. Germain’s message as though time is of the essence, that if spiritual awakening and mastery do not happen NOW, much will be lost.

St. Germain has stated in several blog posts that he sees the majority of humans as selfish, unloving, and greedy. I can’t help but wonder if the concept of choosing to see the glass half-full instead of half empty has ever occurred to this ascended, enlightened master?

Now, for starters, I am not a believer in the idea of a mass physical ascension where huge numbers of people simply disappear off the face of the earth. However, I definitely believe in each to his own on this one. This aside, I wholeheartedly disagree with the premise behind these frantic urgings towards spiritual awakening and spiritual enlightenment.

Spiritual awakening is something that occurs naturally when a certain level of consciousness has been accessed. Expanding consciousness occurs when we encounter direct experience of the various occurrences that physical life has to offer. We encounter this direct experience through living of life and via our responses to the natural urges and desires that we arrive at.

If certain humans appear to us to be overly focused upon their desire for money or physical abundance, it is because that is precisely where they are in terms of their spiritual development. We are where we are and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being at any particular level of experience.

It is only through having the direct experience of manifesting abundance that we will be capable of accurately assessing its inherent value. This goes for any physical thing or situation we are desiring. In order to transcend over-identification with physical abundance, we must first experience it directly. Through experience we gain a new perspective which then enables us to move onwards and upwards. The desire to experience anything of a physical nature is indicative of movement towards spiritual expansion. Everything and anything we could experience or encounter in physical life is of spirit. Money included. It’s all spiritual and all part of the experience we signed up for.

The idea that St. Germain seems to be putting forth, that there are countless people refusing a spiritual awakening simply because they are being too self-centered or even that there exists a reason for urgency towards Spiritual Enlightenment, is a ridiculous one. Each of us came to the earthly, physical plane for the reason of having the experience of temporary separation from source energy, God, Higher self or whatever you choose to call that which is the source of our being. It is this very specific vantage point we were after, as it would call forth some very specific desires from within us and thus, allow us to have a very specific experience.

Time is merely a construct of the human mind. As such, there is no urgency to reach a certain level of expanding consciousness within a certain length of time, nor for that matter is there any urgency to do anything other than just ‘be.’ I’m really curious and would love to ask this teacher in particular, “what is it that will be lost if we do not reach this desired level of spiritual enlightenment by your designated time?”

Those of us who find the idea appealing of attaining new levels of spiritual enlightenment do so because our physical experiences have led us to this desire. My advice for those who find themselves genuinely interested in expanding consciousness and reaching new levels of spiritual enlightenment is to focus upon achieving present moment awareness. All access we have to higher levels of consciousness is through the present moment. This is where All power lies. When we make peace with all that the present moment contains, we reach a level of consciousness where we are able to transcend our present reality and all its conditions. Making peace with the moment at hand means accepting that everything it entails is the perfect reflection of our own energetic vibration. It means loving and accepting the perfection of what our current reality presents before us. It’s a tall order perhaps, but definitely one that can be incrementally achieved if we are so desiring.

When we relax into the totality of our being, complete with our perceived failings and shortcomings and accept and love them all as part of parcel of our earthly experience, we do so much more for our level of spiritual enlightenment than any amount of pushing, urging or forcing could ever achieve. Oneness consciousness is only achieved through reaching for greater levels of love and acceptance. This love and acceptance begins on the personal level. Just as we must learn to walk before we can run, as parts of the whole, we must first learn to love and accept ourselves before we can embrace and love the “All.”
