Most people don’t really understand what an awakening is, but for those that do, what they awaken to is the awareness of the mind that tells you to do something is the same mind that questions why it was done…
All stories are created by your own mind; until there’s awareness of this the stories remain. One of the most important things to realize when it comes to breaking free of your stories is the mind that tells you to do something is the same mind that questions why it was done. Think about how it’s your own mind questioning itself, so what you’re basically doing 99% of the time is arguing with yourself. What’s crazy about this is it’s like there are two entities with different perspectives. This goes on in most lives every single day without realizing it, but don’t be fooled by the questioning because even the judgements that aren’t questioned create just as much of a story. To be awake is to be aware of this nonsense.
An awakening isn’t a magical state, it’s becoming aware of the storied thoughts that hold you in captivity, that’s basically it. It’s in this awareness that you’ll naturally stop attaching to your captivating stories. Being awake doesn’t stop them from arising, but with the awareness they’re there, the nonsense of when this happens is seen. Until this is realized the mind that tells you do something will continue to question why it was done, and there will continue to be judgements of others as your own created stories hold you in captivity…
