What is Empowerment?

A subjective question with an answer that can be experienced for yourself. Empowerment is when you look inside yourself….and you realize who you really are.

Often times we look around at a world that seems so very false. A world where it seems like people take themselves to be something they are not. This is not meant to offend anyone, only to challenge people to really look deeper at what is inside of them.

For thousands of years spiritual leaders all over the planet have told us we are not what we take ourselves to be. That when we discover the purest nature of our true being….we discover something that cannot be even be described in words.

One attempt at describing it would say to love is our natural state. To not love, to judge, to discriminate, to see life in dualistic terms rather then as one unified field of consciousness is a result of the unnatural. It is a result of eons of false ideas and beliefs about who we are.

Love is when you see yourself as ONE with what surrounds you. You create no distinction between yourself and anything there is. You realize that all is born from the same unfathomable place. Infinity is responsible for all. You are infinity. All is infinity.

It is not something that can be talked about, only experienced. Through a true and rigorous investigation into the very depths of your soul you will come to realize you are not what you think yourself to be. In fact, anything you think you are….its impossible to be. For what we are is beyond thought, and beyond anything else the mind can create.

We are the source of the mind. We are the source the body. Not limited to either, completely beyond both. The witness is the connecting aspect to this supreme self. When we find the witness, the part of us simply witnessing everything we do….not attached to the outcome, actions, emotions, memories, experiences, or feelings; we begin to see ourselves as we truly are.

We see how transient all the things we have taken to be real really are. All creations of the mind, and aspects of the body constantly change and pass by, yet we are always here. The witness is the aspect of us which never changes. It is changeless, timeless, always present….witnessing.

Everything in the world could happen and the witness would be completely indifferent. The witness is aware that all that happens in the field of consciousness is temporary and transient, and will pass. Reality is beyond consciousness and its contents. The home of reality is the supreme….where no words or thoughts could touch it.

Nothing could affect it, hurt it, add to it or take away from it. It encompasses all, it is all, and it sources all. It is complete perfection. It is timeless; an infinitude of infinities and this is our realest nature. This is our realest self. The self that makes all else possible. To know yourself at this level….is true empowerment. The knowledge that nothing could ever add nor take from your inherent perfection. How can you add to infinity? What more could you possibly gain? This state of awareness is one of the last stages of awareness before you completely leave the physical plane.

At this point….you have very little left to learn from here, and your awareness will transcend. We are very blinded by the common world to the unknown….yet the unknown is most of what we call the world. Our true journey is into the unknown, a journey which will never end.

All we experience over the course of thousands of lifetimes prepares us for this ultimate and inevitable journey. May each of us find empowerment, and the knowledge of our true self. Namaste.
