What it really is, and why it happens
What is this thing called awakening and how do we find ourselves on the journey?
In some mysterious way, it is the larger gestalt of All That Is - now experienced and expressed through the individual consciousness of the self.
Why it is, and must be, an inner journey, as it does its work to bring us into contact with the authentic inner voice of ourself.
Ultimately, I think it's the calling from within of our true selves, calling us back to our rightful place in our own lives.
Showing up in turmoil, sudden changes in relationships, upheavals and losses we often cannot understand, it is that part of ourselves which directs us onward to what is truly calling us home.
Home, not to some outer defined destination, but home to that small voice within us that knows who we really are, and why we are here.
