Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

superficial layers of consciousness: as a deep light
inside, with a sense of fullness, completeness and joy.
The surface flowings of emotions, thoughts and
energies meant nothing now. I was pulled within into a
deep silence, and the mind, body and Void were seen
as really nothing worth bothering about; only pictures
and noise giving the lighted fog the appearance of
existence and meaning: and my attention was no
longer on the show, but on “me,” so deeply buried
within.
Yes, I was still occupied in the world. I was sitting
at a Firestone dealer, getting some repairs done on my
car. I was aware of the passing time, the television
blaring with the Jerry Springer show, and people
talking all around me, but this was only 10% of my
attention. The rest flowed just to me, my sense of ‘I
Am’, and that certain knowledge that I am that ‘I Am’;
and with it a complete sense of fulfillment as well as a
recognition of who I am and that the world really was
not that important. I was entirely beyond the world
with just a fingertip of involvement therein.
The experience itself is indescribable. It cannot be
put into words because words are only about external
things, like food, automobiles; or closer to the heart,
about ideas, relationships, emotions, etc.; which
emerge from the causal body and flame out into a
magical display in the world of the mind, intellect and
