There Is No Spiritual Awakening



There is no 'spiritual awakening.' Spiritual awakening is a meaningless term, a mere concept in the mind. Awakening is not predicated on any relative condition such as 'spiritual.' To be totally awake annihilates all mental descriptors like 'spirit' and 'matter.' We awaken as naked wonder, wearing no veil of thinking, no shroud of mental commentary. Let pure awareness burn through the veil of thought, until no mind remains. I am sure this little dog, Bowie, a waif rescued on the streets of San Francisco, knows more about awakening than any philosopher, because the animal energy of his neurons is a pure fire burning without the smoke of names and concepts.
