March/April 2005 Spirituality
The Courage to Awaken
The Embrace Of Our Humanity

by Lightsong

In the timeless moment of our awakening, we initiate an un-ending embrace with any and every aspect of who we are. We step out of the role of the observer-processor-analyst. Then breath by breath, moment by moment, we are the presence of all that is, including our humanity.

For most individuals, being human is associated with sacrifice and suffering, the loss of creative autonomy and the continuous experience of compensation and delays. The complexity of mankind’s nature seems to cause entrapment in a cycle of manipulation, overwhelm, struggle, devastation and repetition.

Indeed the collective evolution is based upon the hypnosis that we as a race are disconnected from Divine Grace. We are so invested in the image of unworthiness and failure that our Oneness with the Divine goes unnoticed. Instead, humanity is caught in a self-sabotaging act of judgment and rejection, which installs and maintains the illusion that GOD-LOVE-THE DIVINE has abandoned and betrayed us. Therefore our human-ness is marked as the eternal victim.

This is one of many organizing principles that governs the "dream-state" mankind is operating from. They are regulating and defining our humanity, adding to and interpreting our individual experience, keeping us confined in the charade of survival and nurturing the fantasy of a never materializing future. These are all intertwined dynamics of the great consciousness play of polarization.

During the unfolding of your own awakening ― you have to acknowledge your own human-ness. Instead of avoiding your internal abyss, give room for its emergence. Recognize and breathe, hold presence without the need for action until the illusion of your humanity dissipates and its true nature can arise.

The Divine original intent of your human being-ness is to be the authentic expression of your Divine Presence, to live in sovereignty and unity with ALL THAT IS, to be in creative articulation and in celebration of life.

Until now, your human experience mirrored the identification with a fragmented, false image of mankind, that didn’t allow you to realize the goodness of life and your own human-ness.

As your emotions and thought patterns unveil, recognize that they are the heritage of your engagement with illusion, maintaining attachment through identification and interpretation.

Ultimately as your human-ness is awakening in its Divine nature, you won’t hesitate to express your feelings. Because they are the spontaneous response in the moment, conveying your truth, delight, fulfillment without creating a trace which will leave a history to come back to.

Allowing your humanity to awaken means to be authentic and real in every moment. Remember there is no separation between your humanity and your Divinity. Receive the enrichment of your Divine Human-ness by living unguarded, mindful and true to your own nature. Embrace life and delight in your Oneness!

Namaste!
