Spirituality A-Z.

Is for Awareness. When you become aware things change by default. Perhaps you have been at a movie with a friend, she points out an annoying mannerism of one of the actors, which until now you hadn't noticed, what happens? From that moment on you are more and more tuned in to the “shared mannerism” your friend mentioned, the more you try to overlook it, you now find it almost impossible not to notice. Or someone complains about the repetitive noise of a dripping tap, which until then you were unaware, now because you are aware, the noise becomes part of your reality too and now it may also cause you annoyance too. So awareness draws things into your experience of reality and they can never not be part of it thereafter, without your conscious choice. Both examples given draw your attention to things which may prove to be annoying to your experience of reality, initially at least. What if the object of your awareness was to bring a more positive experience to your reality, such as being made aware by a friend of how much they value your opinion. Or your own realisation that you have a particular skill or ability. Awareness brings focus, focus leads to action, action changes reality.

In the first two examples given : the actor's mannerism becomes the focus, then you have to decide to either get past it, or let it continue to annoy you, hence it brings action. Same with the drpping tap, when it becomes the focus of your attention, you have to decide to ignore it or jump up and turn it off, if you can, which if you can't also leads to action.

In the second examples given, a friend makes you aware of how they value your opinion, now when you know this, you focus on it and the action is you accepting or rejecting this about yourself. With the skill you become aware of yourself, awareness brings focus and you decide to use it or not use it in your life, either way its still part of your reality.

Awareness always carries choice, in all four examples, you have a choice to include or exclude the object of your awareness but what you can never be is unaware ever again regardless of the choice you make.

This makes “Awareness” a powerful step in the evolution of our reality, and the focus and actions we choose. It's irreversible change!

Our “Awareness” is therefore a powerful tool in defining our experience of our reality or our life! We seek awareness now, on a Spiritual Level, now more than ever before, because we are looking for answers. I want you to think for a few moments about something you seek an answer on in your life. Write it down, focus on the possible answers, write those down underneath it, now when you have focussed on the options you have written as possible answers, allow yourself to choose the answer that flows well with your energy. If you experience any resistance to the chosen answer, its not the right answer for you. Repeat the exercise if necessary until you find the answer that resonates well with you. This conscious choice, will bring about change in your life, movement and evolution follow, by default.

In conclusion, in my own experience, awareness has always resulted in learning, which I have always applied in a positive manner to my experience, which has resulted in conscious change which has served me well on my Spiritual and personal development.
