It is the journey of awakening to who you truly are.\n\nSpiritual Awakening is the realization that you are Fully Human and Fully Spiritual. \nSpiritual Awakening is your everyday experience seen correctly, which is why it is called an awakening.\nHi and welcome to this video on Spiritual Awakening. I\u2019m James Traverse.\nThe true nature of your being is not within the realm of knowledge as that which is known or that which can be known through something like book-learning, and yet it is not unknowable.\nSince the true nature of your being is not within the realm of knowledge, it cannot be objectified and spoken about, and yet we can speak of objects and appearances in a certain way, such that they are seen in a new light.\nFor Example: We can speak of the true nature of your being in the same way that we speak of Love, as Love, like your true nature, is not something that can be objectified within the realm of knowledge, and yet we know via experience that Love is not unknowable. And we also know that it is the nature of Love to Love as it is what it does.\nNow what I just said is extremely important; so, let me say it again in a slightly different way\u2026\nHow is Love known? It is the nature of Love to Love. Thus, Love is known via what it does, how it appears. In this way, how it appears is how Love is objectified and thereby how it is known.\nAnother great pointer is how we understand what is called energy. How would Albert Einstein respond when we ask him, \u201cWhat is Energy?\u201d Since he was a pure scientist Einstein would answer, \u201cWe don\u2019t know what energy is; we understand it via what it does.\u201d History shows us that Einstein went even further by showing that energy and matter are related, as he literally defined their relationship via his famous equation E = mc2\n\nThe masters of many ancient wisdom traditions, like ones from India, China, Greece, and others help us understand how the vibrational nature of essential elements appear in objective form. For example: when you see an iceberg at sea on a partially cloudy day, what is seen is water in distinct degrees of vibration as: the ionosphere, which is the ionized part of Earth's upper atmosphere, is what scientists call the Plasma Form of Matter \u2013 this is the Fire Element; the clouds, which are water vapour, are what scientists call the Gas Form of Matter \u2013 this is the Air Element; the water of the ocean is what scientists call the Liquid Form of Matter \u2013 this is the Water Element; and the ice is what scientists call the Solid Form of Matter - this is the Earth Element. And we know that we can cause the change from one form of matter to the other by adding or removing energy as heat.\nIn a similar light we see that ancient sages took the approach of speaking of how the true nature of your being appears, rather than trying to define it. Thus, they depicted how it appears as what it does. And, the most accurate description of how the true nature of your being appears is the Om Symbol as illustrated in the Mandukya Upanishad.\nThe Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest Upanishad and its content is pure wisdom. The word Mandukya means frog, and it represents a kind-of jump from one state of consciousness to another.\n\nThe first appearance is a dot, called Turiya in Sanskrit, which means the Fourth relative to the other three more dense states of consciousness [although it is called the fourth relative to the others, it is truly the first]. The dot is a point in space that has location yet no dimension. This is the \u2018I am\u2019, or more accurately, simply \u2018Am\u2019 as the knowing quality that you exist.\nThe next form that appears is a crescent, which is called Maya in Sanskrit and it represents super-imposition as the veil of separation. This super-imposition solidifies via the densest degree of manifestation, and as will be shown later, it is the reason behind the mistaken conclusion that you are separate.\nThe next degree of density is the upper wave, which represents Deep Sleep, or Sushupti in Sanskrit. At this level there is being, yet still no dimension as Deep Sleep is experienced as a blankness. This is the Causal Level of being, as although it is experienced as a blankness, the seed of your current manifestation, which includes the mistaken conclusion of separation, is present such that you remember what you appear as on waking.\n\n\nFull Video here:\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RdvoYyUvVAI\/default.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RdvoYyUvVAI\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RdvoYyUvVAI\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RdvoYyUvVAI\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/RdvoYyUvVAI\/maxresdefault.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2021-08-22T15:57:33+00:00","duration":"PT18M34S","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RdvoYyUvVAI","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC-iZ5bovU9pY9Lss_ckRTDQ#Organization","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC-iZ5bovU9pY9Lss_ckRTDQ","name":"James Traverse","description":"Spiritual Awakening the Journey Om - What Spiritual Awakening Feels Like with James Traverse\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI\n\nSince this channel is about Spiritual Awakening it is important to understand that Spirituality cannot be understood via things like book-learning and thinking and yet it is not unknowable. In this light, this channel is about another way of knowing, whereby the true nature of your being is grokked.\n\nJames has been involved with Spirituality, Spiritual Awakening, Yoga and Nonduality for over 40 years. His inspiration for Spiritual Awakening was the outcome of his studies with Jean Klein.\n\nJames shares insights of the Spiritual Journey and Spiritual Awakening on websites like: https:\/\/afternonduality.com \n https:\/\/jamestraverse.co and  https:\/\/beingyoga.com\n\nAdvaita is rendered as Nonduality in English. Other terms like Enlightenment, Awakening, Consciousness, Awareness and Source, etc. are some of the words used by sages to represent true being.","logo":{"url":"https:\/\/yt3.ggpht.com\/ytc\/AIdro_kUhfbVEy2metsVMbqjmg1nDU9x_6vaM3N2xXek5n5BCUQ=s800-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","width":800,"height":800,"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI#VideoObject_publisher_logo_ImageObject"}},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI#VideoObject_potentialAction","target":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI&t={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"},"interactionStatistic":[[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_WatchAction","interactionType":{"@type":"WatchAction"},"userInteractionCount":466}],{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RdvoYyUvVAI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_LikeAction","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":10}]},"about":["Spirituality"],"wordCount":7,"articleBody":"Youtube Channel introducing Meditations for Spiritual Awakening."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Meditations for Spiritual Awakening","item":"https:\/\/jamestraverse.com\/meditations-spiritual-awakening\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
