What Woke You?
 

Dear Avalon Members,

A question, to those awake and those awakening,(guess that covers everyone)

What woke you, what is or was the catalyst that set you on the conscious journey. The conscious exploration of the mystery of spirit, of your souls journey/destiny?

With Loving curiousity

Carmen

Re: What Woke You?
 

Not sure, it happened in 2006. I am guessing it was external...many awoke in 2006 from what I understand.

Re: What Woke You?
 

What changed Franciejones. What were the outward manistestations of 'waking up'. Hope you don't think me too quizzy in this. I'm just curious. People are so individual in their response to matters spiritual. To me, we are definitely not sheeplike. Not when we are allowed or allow ourselves to freely explore.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Already in my teens I found books about astrology, spirituality, mysteries of life,etc fascinating. But not many books on the subject were available in Poland then. Then I left Poland and lived abroad for several years where I had access to a number of books revolving around these topics. Then another strong push in that direction was my mother's death. I read so many books dealing with afterlife and what happens when we die. Then last year I saw "Zeitgeist" and an interview with David Wilcock and this all was mind-blowing for me. Since then I can't get enough, I wish I had more time to read everything I haven't read, to listen to everything I haven't listened to yet. It's like I want more and more information about these things. one little thing that also contributed to me getting really interested in that area is that I had a few prophetic dreams so I knew that there was something that I wanted to explore more.

Re: What Woke You?
 

its been a life journey for me, I remember talking to my mother as a young adult in tears. telling her I could feel that something was going to happen in our life time. and this life we all had was not what it was intended to be. and I couldn't shake it. my whole life has been a discovery of awaking. and have always been drawn to nature, and the unexplained. and thought of a utopian society. and as I matured. I was never satisfied with what I was learning. as a matter of fact I was seeking to disconnect with life feeling it was all backwards. and not having the tools and guidance to deal with such things. it took a while for me to get on track. I have always questioned the matrix. but to find truth in this world is hard. Im so happy to see parts of it now manifesting. and forums like this to pool bits and peaces. and to know Im not alone.



after all I am an aquarian.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Fascinating folks. Once one starts on this journey the inner hunger has to be satisfied. One clue leads to another and your soul is sort of like the guiding hand on the rudder!! It doesn't let you go. The mystery of it all makes it exciting. Making known the unknown of us.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Discovering this site is what made me wake up. Otherwise, I would have just carried on in a boring slumber.

still wide awake

Re: What Woke You?
 

I was on Maternity leave 6 months ago and I had so much free time while this anf I found youtube for the 1st time. i started browsing as a pasttime. I went into politics, then something came up about nwo, then ufo, then I listened to William Cooper talkking about MJ12 and then I had a huge panic attack for 4 hours. I woke and I have neer been the same.
My world as I knew has crumppled but I finally felt like I was myself and I felt that I was here for a purpose and not just to consume products.

Re: What Woke You?
 

So deb003 it was having time to explore. What role has difficulties, trageties had in boosting members of Avalon out of mass consciousness. Initiations in the form of going beyond what you thought you were capable of?

Your thoughts are most appreciated

Love and Light

Carmen

Re: What Woke You?
 

Dying. Straight up. A near death experience brought home with terrible beauty that the world we 'live' in is a lie.

Ever feared death and dying? don't, because the next world is so beautiful it pains me to think I had to return here.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Thanks Egg That would do it!! What role has or does initiation play in the awakening process? Our life experiences do push us on but it seems to me so many people live bland lives that just keeps them in a ticktock existance.

Has anyone read the book "Of Water and the Spirit" about a wonderful shaman from Bakino Faso, a landlocks country in Africa. In it he describes the initiation that the teenage boys are but through to connect with the spiritual realm. Many indiginous people have an initiation tradition. In the west we seem to have none.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Initiations? nothing at all to be honest with you unless it is of the more exotic variety that involve mind enhancing natural stimulants and chemicals OR one of the Native American initiations that make people endure hardship to forge their spirits.

My own journey started really at age 16. I followed the Hippie movement at the time. Many would go to India in search of wisdom and spiritual enlightment.
My first master was Gurdjeff than Castaneda, Lobsang Rampa and many others after that...I wanted to understand everything dealing with Spirit around the world.. until last one : Eckhart Tolle where I understood the best master you can find is yourself.
My own life has been a real challenge to the soul. Seven years ago I underwent a spiritual death which unabled me to be reborn brand new.
My real awakening I feel happened when I reached Avalon. This is where I discovered that as a soul Love is my foundation. Love is all there is.

Love yourself and be awake -
Today, tomorrow, always.

First establish yourself in the way,
Then teach others,
And so defeat sorrow.

To straighten the crooked
You must first do a harder thing -
Straighten yourself.

You are your only master.
Who else?
Subdue yourself,
And discover your master.

Re: What Woke You?
 

I think it has been a life long “walk” for me.
I think I always followed my heart, with it's consequences.
Some important steps for me was:
Philosophically and creativity “trained”, started at early age of five, by my grandpa.
And I think, I have always in a way sensed other peoples feelings, I am not sure about this.
Freedom fighter, Always in fight, with bullies, one or several, because I was small (then), but rather bright, and a beautiful young girl was delighted with me, you can see the problem. :)
So I became a real fighter and daredevil, at young age.
Orb-fed, during my childhood, I didn't know what it was and why.
Always dreaming about our future and our progress in everything, in this good society of ours, and everything was possible.
I was totally unaware that grown-ups could lie, steal and deceive, especially not people high up in the “power structure”, because I was programmed to believe so.
This picture I had, has slowly been destroyed, because I found out more and more about lies, cowardice, disloyalty, selfishness and so on.
More the higher up in the “power structure” you got.
During that time I experienced thought-reading and out of body experience.
I have never had much prejudices about anything.
If I found out something that seems to work, then I didn't care what the surroundings thought.
I tried to meditate at that time, but it didn't work, because it was a very hostile environment I lived and worked in, and my brain and everything was on full speed.
To mentally survive I became an even more daredevil, to really provoke the “evil surrounding”, the cowardices.
I found out that among the daredevils they were very reliable, really very good friends.
If you are incompatible with the “scoundrels”, they will destroy you eventually.
When everything was crushed, I was in a very bad mood, I have lost nearly everything.
In fact I was on the 22nd step of the emotional scale, with suicidal thoughts.
And in fact is was a cat that helped me, because I couldn't leave the cat alone.
So I slowly tried to make all my fears conscious, and it was really a hard time for me, this climbing.
At the same time I began also learn more and more about meditation and healing.
And I began to be more and more conscious about the power elite, so I became a frequent writer of threads and posts against the New World Order.
My “spiritual capacity” increased during this time, especially after I was charged from a sphere floating around two meters above ground within the foliage of a cherry-tree.
This you can't tell to a “normally programmed person”.
Anyhow, after that I got increased “feeling capacity” and healing capacity.
After some time I found out about Project Camelot and I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of papers there.
I was charmed with Kerry's and Bill's way of approaching things, I felt much kindness, and I loved that.
Anyhow “by chance”, you know “power elite chance”, this website where I was active at, happened to disappear, and a lot of other “by chance” things happened, very strange.
I missed that writing on the web-side very much, it was a kind of safety valve for me, it felt good to do something in the right direction.
I believe very strong in following my heart, and always try to do my best and to be kind to everything.
So I found out about the Project Avalon, and now I am here.
I must say I feel very good now, you are all great individuals, and I am truly grateful for that.

Re: What Woke You?
 

I have always been a free thinker and chose my parents for this incarnation so that i would be well exposed to free-thinking. I am not religious but along the way from about age 7 have read everything metaphysical, spiritual or "new age" or natural health-wise that could get my hands on. And along the way took the parts of the various religions that resonated with me. Also, went off to many spiritual development groups and also studied Theosophy and went and got an advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy too, hence my choice of the Spiral to the left.

And i even went and got a job with the largest importer and distributor of new-age and natural health type titles.

I have always been a truthseeker and a free-thinker and always question things. Want to kow why something is done a particular way, especially if i can see a better way of doing something or a quicker way or i don't see the logic in something. (guess, i'd be useless in the Army eh??!! :mfr_lol: )

Growing up was exposed to the thoughts of a clairvoyant Mum and a completly "off-world" Dad who is the original mad-inventor, always tinkering around with free-energy etc and was hugely into UFO reseach also.

So, i guess, by choosing my current parents for this lifetime i kinda got a good head start.

What am i going to do with all this info. Well, am helping in my own small way with this site and other sites. Dom some planetary healing work and grid-work occasionally. Also ask for ET help in deactivating the The Large Hadron Collider and other such things from time to time.

My true mission is still manifesting and pieces and contacts falling into place as they need to in divine timing.

So, in a long and convoluted way, i guess what i am saying Carmen is there wasn't one specific event as such that could be identified as the event that awakened me - actually, I am not saying that I am "awakened" but I am definitely fairly aware! I never stop learning and hopefully these posts will go some way to creating the change in this beautiful world that I am assuming most of us want to see.

Peace and Bright Blessings to All. :original:

Re: What Woke You?
 

For me there was never a light-switch moment, it has been a gradual process starting with a slow-burning rebellion as a child, but really accellerating ever since I got away from the education system and living at home. [I quit polytechnic before I finished my Computer Science degree, which has given me some problems later in life with regards to leaving the country and finding another that would have me - finish your higher education kids!].

Meeting my likeminded wife 22years ago was a real help, and our journey of awakening has been constant.

I have met many people for whom the 911 attrocity was the real alarm call that could not be ignored.

Re: What Woke You?
 

I woke up after having some very disturbing experiences. I decided to start meditation just to relax the mind and hopefully release my stress.
I had an out of body experience and saw myself sitting on the floor. Later i had some readings by a channeler, and was told some very interesting things that have been coming true since.
I tell you something, there is more to come. I'll comment more on another time.
This all happened about 5 years ago, but i have been very aware of 'things' since i was a child.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Same here, I think.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had the feeling that there was something dreadfully wrong w/ the society I was born into, and that it could be different, better.

It's like in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

"You know," said Arthur thoughtfully, "all this explains a lot of things. All through my life I've had this strange unaccountable feeling that something was going on in the world, something big, even sinister, and no one would tell me what it was."

"No," said the old man, "that's just perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the Universe has that."

There is a reason we all have this feeling, and there is a reason that society does so much to dissuade that feeling.

At about the same time I became interested politics I immediately realized where the problem lies. It was so clear in my head, but for some reason I could not clearly convey to others what was so obvious to me. The words escaped me until I heard Bill Hicks explain exactly what I felt.

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think that it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly coloured, and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question - is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us. They say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.' And we...kill those people. Ha ha ha. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride. SHUT HIM UP! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and family. This just has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings, and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourselves off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what you can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defence each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, for ever, in peace.

I cried just a bit when I first heard this while my friends were laughing. They thought he was still joking I guess. I knew it was sincere though, and it made me so sad that others didn't see the beautiful simplicity of this idea. It's simply undeniable imho.

The real catalyst though, had to be when I finally got my own computer.......information overload!:lol3:

Re: What Woke You?
 

I remember reading a book about Mayans and their building skills. I cannot remeber how old I was, would've been prolly around 10. And can remeber thinking that something is not right on this picture. I also read (well, atleast 10 times) couple books you were able to order, I think it was from Readers Digest, "Mysteries of the World" was one and cannot remeber what the otherone was called. But they were big books and I just ate them when I was a kid, and many times. I never had anyone "guiding" me tho, and so it stayed at that, reading a couple of books and wondering over those things I read from them. I would say about 3 years ago I started to get interested about NWO stuff and such. But it still was mainly waching a video every now and then and that's it. Around this time I also started to think what\who am I. I think it was last August, I found David Wilcoks Camelot interview from youtube, that got me thinking and I found PC at the same go. Next day I watched George Greers interview, and here we are 4 months later thinking quite differently now. 4 months and I haven't turned on my TV since I found Camelot and Avalon, I've just been reading and reading , oh and did I mention reading as well.

Re: What Woke You?
 

For me it was an encounter with a demonic entitiy. I would call it a rude spiritual awakening. Imagine going from normal materialistic one day to hallucinating and having apocolyptic thougts the next with out pharmalogical assistance. Then suddenly when a shaman friend talks to you the whole thing suddenly ends and goes back to normal. There was no going back to a normal perception of the universe after that.

Re: What Woke You?
 

I've had two spiritual awakenings in my life, both UFO related. The first had to do with reading a book by George Adamski. I was in California at the time and tried to look him up on Mt Palomar but a guy at the post office there said he was a fraud so I gave up. I found myself still in need of a spiritual path and ended up in the Mormon Church (long story). That lasted a few years. I became disillusioned and went back to my atheist roots.

Decades later (early 2008) I found myself researching UFOs again and by way of the Billy Meier case I found George Green and the Handbook for a New Paradigm. I also ran across the Disclosure Project. The latter convinced me of the reality of UFOs, the former provided another spiritual kick in the pants. One day, after a few weeks of research, I found myself laughing uncontrollably, pretty much all day, at just how wrong I had been about pretty much everything. I haven't really looked back. I started meditating again, I've been to a CSETI workshop, seen UFOs, had deeply spiritual experiences, etc.

The UFO connection is this: 1) If you are convinced as I was that modern science is a complete and accurate picture of the universe and that scientists really are interested in truth, then UFOs really throw a monkey wrench into the works because they sure aren't using rockets. Einstein's interpretation of gravity does not allow for field propulsion at the realitively low energy levels that Townsend Brown (the guy in my avatar pic) was observing effects at. I really like physics, but what passes for physics in modern science has huge holes in it that have been systematically supressed to hide electro-gravitic effects, as well as radiant energy phenomena discovered by Tesla, Bearden, and others. 2) Telepathy is ubiquitous in reports of UFO contacts. This is a big problem if you think intelligence is what the brain does and nothing more. It opens the door to a much larger world of "metaphysical" phenomena as being potentially real. It opened it enough this time that I could gain some personal experience.

My whole world is turned upside down and I'm loving every minute of it.

Re: What Woke You?
 

I have to add. when I was about 18. I picked up 2 books. that changed everything for me. I coundnt put them down. it was like conformation.

Communion
http://www.amazon.com/Communion-True.../dp/0380703882

The 12th Planet (Earth Chronicles)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zecharia_Sitchin

after reading these books. I began to look at the world a lot differently.

Re: What Woke You?
 

i have been thinking about this in depth since carmen posted this thread
in honesty, i don't remember being asleep, i have tried to locate a time when i might have been, but i can't recall one
i remember being called to from where i once lived oh so long ago, i then travelled to a central location where i met others who were summoned as well
i was one of the last to arrive, i remember vividly walking in, so many were sitting there at low tables, felt like all eyes were on me, i was such an old soul even then
after being de-briefed of the mission we left and travelled to earth
i have had so many lives since that time place, remember many
i remember leaving my last life and looking forward to the long rest i experienced after every life, but i didn't get a chance to experience it, i was called to come again, to this life, it happened so quickly, i had no rest in between, i didn't like that at all, it wasn't of the norm
but i came because it was in the plan, the mission, what we signed up for we must follow through to completion
i remember the nine months of darkness, the transition it was always called, enough time space to ease into our new life before birth
this is why i don't remember being asleep, i never knew there was sleep, never knew of being awake, i was just ... i don't know, normal i thought
well, i thought i was when i came but once here i realized very quickly things weren't as they seemed, everything was so different here
i was introduced to a different kind of energy than i knew of, it was called negativity, it seemed so imbalanced
as i grew older i slowly remembered this type of energy in my other lives, slowly remembering my other lives, recalling how i knew the dark must transform to light, but that at the conclusion of all my lives, nothing ever changed, i always left saddened
being called to this life so quickly i knew this was the one that will be different, i knew this was the life that the transformation will take place, dark to light and love
that's it, that's my truthful answer carmen, i know i've just gone way out on a limb writing this but for some reason this morning, it just doesn't matter anymore, i'm done with hiding my truth, i have nothing to loose, this is the life we've all been dying for, this is the big one, the one of enormous positive shifting and why should i be fearful anymore ...

Re: What Woke You?
 

Wonderful replies to this thread. Its a question I've asked many people over the years, and every answer is entirely different. The friends that explored waking up with me, all went in different directions, but all became servers, teachers healers of people.

Our soul directs us in ways that are mysterios to us. We can look back and see where we were indirectly directed that didnt make sense at the time, but does later in our lives.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Never felt i belonged here on Earth since a baby!
Went through life regardless well you have to play along with the game.
Had lots of paranormal experiences through my life also and my parents and grandparents were spiritualists.
Romany and French decendents, also links with royalty, pretty mixed up bunch really.
In 1997 after princess Diana's death i had my first sensation of one ness complete spiritual unity.
In 1998 started following David Icke, read all his books then went on a quest discovering many religious clues into the alien agenda.
Found my first clue in Canterbury cathedral a muriel on a wall with a reptile being in full view.
After that there was no going back, searching, searching for everything, 2 years ago found the Camelot site and the rest was history so they say.

Re: What Woke You?
 

If you mean what changed when I started to wake up, it was a combination of things. Firstly, my husband had an affair and we split up briefly...oddly this began my journey. Now, what I would have ordinarily done in this situation was go in a downward spiral and feel sorry for myself. What actually happened was that I was okay with it and that was odd. Then I started looking inward and that was not the norm for me either. Then I started searching many many things on the internet. I found PC and many other sites. I found Alex Collier info, Michael Tsarion and others seemingly simultaneously. Everyone noticed the change in me...it was as though I started becoming a new human being than previously existed. It is still happening. Now I am noticing physical changes as well. My body is "talking" to me. It is very interesting indeed.

Re: What Woke You?
 

Thanks for replying to my question FrancieJones, People do know when you have changed dont they. Its when they enquire as to what made the change that you have the invitation to hopefully awaken another sleeping soul. I had a similiar experience to you a couple of years ago when my husband anounced he was leaving me. It was the right time. My energy soared and I booged round the kitchen. We;ve been an example to our community of a different attitude in a relationship breakup. We are great friends and often go out together. Confuses the hell out of our community who think we should naturally be enemies now! He has another woman, but that doesnt bother me. Actually knowing what he is like to live with, I feel sorry for her. But me. I just love my freedom, and my learning.


Cheers

Carmen

Re: What Woke You?
 

Since my late teens ive been searching for Truth ...since then i felt there was a treasure called Truth - unchanging eternal everlasting Truth above human conception of It but still directly influencing human lives

I came to know Love as the other side of Gods Currency - Truth and Love - Both beyond human comprehension but still the Essence of God and the subsratum of His Projection

When convinced 911 was a inside job i researched and realised the luciferian nwo agenda to enslave mankind under the rulership of satan and erase God from Mans memory

What an Epic Drama...! What interesting times and how grand the lies the deceptions and how Great is God...!

Re: What Woke You?
 

I've been thinking about how to reply to this thread for a couple of days while my sister has been staying - two days of not talking Avalon and a lot of sadness that I couldn't talk Avalon.

To the ones who came in awake - WOW!

It's been a gradual process for me from knowing things I 'shouldn't' have known from 8 onwards.
Rejecting the C of E of my childhood during my adolescence because the divine feminine wasn't present
Hearing an inner voice from 16 onwards (it began by telling me which horse was going to win the Derby and afterwards gave me directions at major turnings points. Some years i still get the Derby winner))
a series of very 'karmic' relationships (Libra is both my sun sign and 7th house)
waiting from 16 to 33 to discover that the Goddess tradition existed and has existed for a very long time. the divine is immanent as well as transcendent.

the vision I had in 1987 the night my father died of his life from an energetic perspective and the Christos Experiment - method of recalling a past klife and death - which convinced me that death is a transition not an end
1988 Breakthrough Centre, the foundation of the wonderful network of friends I feel hugely blessed by
1989 Findhorn Foundation Experience week - a MAJOR lesson in the interconnectedness of all beings delivered in part by my late father
the home birth/water birth of my son and watching an "old soul' remember how to be here. Gibran "Your children are not your children"
a psychic reading in 1993: this is the life when I bring the political (revolutionary) and the spiritual together. moving to Scotland.
9/11 driving through Lockerbie at the time the first tower was hit and first thought/intuition "This was done by people who do not know it is one world"
(NOT in the NWO sense, rather in the interconnected sense)
more recently going through 'ascension symptoms' then reading Karen Bishop, Celia Fenn and Aluna Joy and finding what I was experiencing was as much collective as personal. "I'm not crazy/losing it"
Thence to Divine Cosmos and Camelot and Avalon, where the political and the spiritual really do overlap.
as to what's next? FOLLOW MY HEART and combine compassion community and creativity.
thanks for the opportunity to write this and review my life so far. it's been a good antidote to the materialism of my sister and her evident worry that (by comparison) I have so little and have not yet learned to make a living out of what I'm good at and love doing (art writing and organising group art exhibitions)
love to all

Re: What Woke You?
 

Thank you Delphi and all other who has responded to this thread. It does take time to contemplate and to recognise the signposts on the way. Your answers are all so heartfelt, they bring tears to my eyes. I to have contemplated deeply on my awakening. The major wakeup in my life was the death of my daughter at aged eleven. Sort of like God picked me up by the scruff of the neck, shook the **** out of me, placed me down again and said 'Now Work It Out!!!!" My perfect 3D world was turned upside down, and I was mad as hell. I set out to find out the how and the why of everything from that point on. That experience was a harsh gift, but gift it was.

Re: What Woke You?
 

My grandmother told me about UFO's when I was little, she's been interested in them them since the '50's.
My parents were open minded and didn't try to brainwash me to the contrary, so I accepted ET reality from then on.
My mum has crayon drawings I did with UFO's in them from pre-school and year one (early-mid '80's) http://www.langkawi.dk/smileys/m5.gif
Ive always been fascinated with the universe and anything unexplained.. when I was 2 I would say "thats mazing"..

Bought every book I could on magick and alchemy from the age of 12 for several years.
My transition to deep study of UFOs and contactees and ultimately channelling and spiritual books began around 1998-99 round when I was 18

I have completely stopped watching/reading FICTION for several years now and devote my free time to research and guitar mastery.
Have been drinking only bottled water for over 3 years now too.. if I drink from a tap it tastes totally sick.

TV, Hollywood movies, fiction novels, computer games, FOOTBALL matches (various other 'entertainment') and especially american sit-coms are absolute poison for your mind and its ability to determine and prioritise what is real and important.
These things are there to keep you stupid and busy. So 'other people' can take control of the world and corporate-zombie whores can gorge on your flesh.. and defile the earth with their excrement.

Getting a little carried away but its something I feel passionate about. :lightsabre:

Those things can be fun in moderation as a way of cultural interaction..

There is more than enough brilliant non-fiction literature and documentaries and skills to learn to keep you busy and 'entertained' but you will be getting an education while you're at it.. and then there's Women :wub2:

Re: What Woke You?
 

Much of my early memory is evaporated :blink:, but I can say an OOBE at age 9 during a high fever. Something I have never forgotten, every detail is intact; after that, I kept what followed secret from everyone for years, but I remember knowing then that we are more than a body, but we need the current one for as long as required. It made me ask so many questions, and I recall feeling so open; but deeply understanding that stuff like that wasn't talked about every day like it is here!

I did a 6 day intensive tantric active mediation for singles event in the UK by a company called 'school of awakening'... It was based around Osho's teaching and can be recommended for anyone wanting to explore / awake their kundalini energy...

It was extremely fun shall we say and not for the faint hearted. It was well organised and in a safe environment for these kinds of events at Croydon Hall, Dorset.

I worked in Real Estate, the market where I live was/is dead so I found myself on the computer a lot more than usual. I have always been fascinated by paranormal/ET topics so naturally I started investigating the best I could on these topics. I stumbled onto the Disclosure Project and from there lead me to Project Camelot. The rest is history. PC gave me so many tangents to run with, I am totally immersed with new topics to learn and investigate.

Thats how I began to wake up. Now the biggest obstacle for me is to learn how to live with this new information and not alienate myself from my close friends and family who have not woken up (which is the vast majority). You cant smack someone over the head with this information because it challenges the way that people live and they dont want to change their lives, so what I've found to be both cathardic and productive is to be content in just planting seeds with the people I love. Then the decision is up to them to learn more or to take the blue pill and go back to sleep.

An astral projection around my 18th birthday. As I was heavily into science at the time with deep knowledge of physics and astronomy for someone at that age.. my entire world was shattered in one day. It took me a week to get out of the shock.

There have been many subsequent 'awakenings' as I've gradually peeled off many layers of illusions but nothing compares to the biggest one (the truth we are more than the physical body).

I believe we are way far from being awoke. When I am able to remember all my past lives, know why I am here and where I am going to next and see all the dimensions around me, then I can truly say I've began to awake to my real self.

Great post The Chosen. About being awake I think our Real Self if there to help in the process of full awakening. A helping hand so to speak. Would inittial awakening sort of be like the "born again" of religion. The learning is only just starting, like you would have started on your science/physics training.
