Resting in Your Spiritual Wisdom

Many people are curious about the post-spiritual awakening world.

What is it like?

When will it get here?

And this is kind of hard to express because you dissolve reference points. A lot of the ways that I used to think are gone. So how can I express the difference if I don’t have that other reference point to make a comparison?

That’s part of the culmination of spiritual awakening integration or embodiment.

You simply are in this space of being. Could you imagine asking a Redwood tree how it is to be a Redwood tree? It is as it is.

Yet, I do see some of the value in trying to express some of this, and for this spiritual awakening blog post, I’m talking about resting in our wisdom.

The Relaxation of Knowing You

One quick thing that I’ll mention is that this blog and the section its in comes after embodying the awakening. A lot of people refer to post-awakening more in the way that I’ve set up the “Awakening” page. In that phase of this process, you’re breaking down a lot of illusions. You are finding out so much about the story of yourself.

You’re a long way off from radically engaging with life differently. You’re not even integrating a different way to be with yourself yet.

But the old get released.

You step into the uncertainty of the unknown.

You learn about re-imagining and re-patterning yourself in a whole new way to rebirth yourself.

Then, you actually know you.

And that is quite profound in and of itself.

When you know you, you understand how your internal perception and ego filters interpret life. You can see this interpretation, but then you can be more curious about what reality is actually doing.

In the unconscious state, we believe what we perceive. We believe our sensations, emotions, and thoughts are absolute truth.

When we have done this work, the wisdom we’ve earned helps us to understand that our point of view is only one possibility–neither inherently right nor wrong. Then we learn to be more curious about what is happening now to understand the other possibilities.

Possibility and the Unknown

Spiritual Wisdom Flows Easily

In this space, knowledge is easy to attain.

You don’t need life, people, and situations to be different than they are.

You are interested in reality, not reinforcing your beliefs system.

So you observe.

You stay curious.

You ask questions.

You test things out.

You learn more, and you understand how to do a lot of things.

Spiritual wisdom is very, very powerful.

And it’s not even a little magical.

For those with a scientific mindset, you’re probably thinking it’s a lot like science. It is. Spiritual wisdom isn’t about making up magical nonsense. It’s about engaging with people and life in deeply illuminating and enlivening ways.

The best way to do that is to listen and observe these millions and billions of years old systems. Watch them. Learn from them. They point the way to best engage with them.

The wise man and wise woman follow these pointers.

The Blame Game Is Gone

One thing that is certainly not part of resting in wisdom is the blame game. There’s no use to it. This isn’t mindlessly pacifist or lenient. We just know that there’s no point in demonizing others, telling others that they aren’t holy enough, conscious enough, etc.

That’s what the fake spiritual people do.

Identifying a False Spiritual Student

We own our truths, and we expect other people to take responsibility for what they do. From that space, there are conscious consequences, particularly when people intentional harm others.

I would imagine that an enlightened penal system would exist for those who still don’t understand themselves and act out against others. The difference is that people wouldn’t be punished for the sake of punishing them. Rehabilitation would be central because now we can come from a space of love and wisdom.

Punishment teaches only more pain. That changes nothing.

Education, healing, and kindness teach the value of knowledge, health, and love.

What people experience defines what they become. As spiritually wise people, we understand this, so we become architects of situations to foster healthy outcomes if we want to encourage healthy people.

In many ways, awakening is like becoming a spiritual parent. You can see how so many people are spiritual children. Beating and berating a child does nothing but turn him/her into a monster who will continue that cycle of pain. Instead, we set firm boundaries and help them to understand their world in a healthy, cooperative way.

From the light of understanding, people can potentially be healed through a corrections system, and not even one aspect of our society can play the blame game if we want to create a new and healthier civilization.

Unlikely to Be Called to Violence

I am terming this subhead “unlikely” because being free of attachments, you see how hurting another is hurting yourself.

But you still reserve the right for self-defense from grossly unconscious people.

Life is unpredictable.

Physical violence serves very little purpose. Mostly, it spreads more violence and suffering.

Spiritually wise people seek to end the cycles of suffering, not continue to them.

Additionally, physical violence is not fun and uninteresting in many ways. Personally, I don’t like anything that hurts my body or makes me feel needlessly uncomfortable. So hitting things and other people just isn’t a good time. Dancing together is fun.

Let’s dance instead, my friends.

Many people (people into contact sports for example) end up having their identities hooked into being able to cause violence on others, and this is something that many people will have to let go of if we want to spiritually grow as a collective society. It will change sports, not get rid of it.

Could you imagine how much more fun sports would be if it was about cooperatively playing and not ruthlessly competing?

Spiritual wisdom points us towards cooperation, uplifting each other, and love. These elements enliven us and enrich our lives. It’s a sane way to orient to life.

The Freedom to Share or Not to Share

Just because you are growing in spiritual wisdom doesn’t mean that you’ll share it in words with others. Some people will wake up and simply be in the world. They won’t feel called to “do” anything. Being a human being isn’t about doing.

Some of us only ever share our wisdom because we’re directly asked.

Not every spiritually free person is meant to be a spiritual teacher, sending this stuff out on a blog to thousands of people around the world. It’s a role I feel called to do for now. If that changes for me, then I will stop. That’s part of being tuned into myself and being aware of what feels true in this state of awareness.

Choosing Spiritual Freedom

Nothing to Do, But Rest in Being

As things normalize, a lot of what others call spiritual wisdom will feel normal to you.

You may only notice it when you are around other people or someone says, “Wow. That’s so amazing. I’d never thought of that.”

Then an external reference point, i.e. the other person, will have momentarily appeared, and with their value system, you’ll be judged as wise while they self-judge themselves as not being wise.

However, it won’t matter to you.

You are as you are. And that’s perfect and wise in just the right way for you.
