Spirit Science and Metaphysics
If one had to look for a common point of departure amongst many spiritual traditions, I think that it has to be the idea of the embodied spirit. In other words – the idea that we are essentially spiritual beings embodied in a magnificent bio-physical machine on a short experiential trip to the physical third dimensional world.
One can take an angle shot of this and see our waking consciousness (our thoughts, self image, desires, etc) as being only a small fragment of the whole spectrum of Self despite the illusion that what we see, think or feel is all there is and it’s the only reality. We forgot who we are. It’s like we were flashed with one of the memory erasers in Men in Black and made to forget a good chunk about ourselves before incarnating in this world. Tragic-comical but true!
The path to spiritual awakening is in fact characterised by a recognition of Self, a remembrance of who we really are. It is the transcending beyond the ego-consciousness and exiting the matrix so to speak. It is bypassing that default override setting of the waking consciousness which filters out the deeper implicit knowledge from our multidimensional consciousness. It is of course also called awakening because we awake from the illusion, the dream and the sleep-walking from years of enculturation and biological constraints.
