Enspirited

There is absolutely no reason why someone would want to wake up to the truth, instead of continuing to live like a zombie in society.

He won't have more money, more prestige, more friends, more security, more anything. This is a place of duality. Having goes with not having and neither is ensured by anything anyone believes or does.

Death is the full circle of birth. Whatever has a beginning has an ending too.

Awakening is not really a choice then. In fact, the ego will fight that choice, which the personality thinks it is making because it believes it will get something out of it; wealth, love, security, appreciation, health etc etc. These might be some of the fruits or byproducts of a devoted, awakened life, but they are far from being proof, guarantees or end-goals.

The greatest enemy is always within, whereas people are taught to distract; helpless victims of the sophisticated matrix programming, which is far more incorporated, far grander than they can ever imagine by the lower intellect. The establishment's systems (education, governments/politics, religions, science etc) are carriers of the matrix's code in every civilization, every generation, every area of the public domain. 

Every attempt of escape is carefully monitored and supervised, as the obstacles and pitfalls are individually tailored and totally undetectable by the lower mind/intelligence. Only the awakened ones can detect the coding infiltrating the matrix. They are fewer than believed and usually far apart.

The surveillance codes, the obstacles, the closed doors/walls are placed very sophistically in specific places and cannot be dismissed by denial, cannot be opened with techniques or any widely known methods as ALL are offered by the matrix itself, meant to take you only up to a certain stage. 

The matrix is generous! Many follow some method, some technique, assuming they are freeing themselves but only reaching another rooftop, which they think is awakening. A constructed la la land to satisfy the deluded. All known methods and publicly accepted tools are either the matrix's handouts through its many willing representatives or infiltrated and contaminated by it, to ensure the outcome. It seems a lost cause...

This paints a very dull picture and it's much darker than this too! So, if awakening is not a choice, not a decision one can make or not make, what is it?

"Many will come, few will be selected". Truth has always been coded in the matrix, alongside all the lies and deceit because that is The Law. It is the ONLY way this reality/plane of existence could have been created and sustained. 

Truth has always been available, never hidden to the true seekers. The true seekers are the enspirited beings, who have the spark (spirit) inside, the yearning, the remembrance, even as a dormant state. No one else! They don't have a choice but to awaken. They are guided by some undetected (in the beginning) inner force, which mostly goes against their logic and their ego's needs. Try as they must, it cannot be ignored or silenced.

From the outside, on the surface, they look like everyone else. People seem to have the same intentions, seem to agree on their purpose, even unite to achieve the same goals, yet they most likely are totally different in their core essence (περί-ουσία).

For the enspirited beings, the cell/matrix is penetrable, there are no powers high enough to keep them caged, there is no knowledge they cannot access because they don't belong to this reality. They are not children of the matrix; born of it.

All egos would like to belong to this second group ; the enspirited beings. Most of us pretend to be or swear we are. Few are originals, authentic.

The journey to truth, to awakening, is unique and cannot be duplicated neither matched by any other. No other acquisition, no matter how grand, gratifying or tempting it might be, can fulfill the enspirited being. If she is side-tracked, it will only be temporary, until she decodes the illusions and then continue on her way.

There are NO earthly guarantees for the enspirited beings. For the spirit neither belongs to this dimension nor is seeking any of its trophies or known satisfactions. The true seeker must lose all illusions, all insurances, although loss in itself is neither proof of an enspirited being nor a ticket to "paradise". Temptation is individualized and always masked as something else; something the ego will need and haste to interpret through belief.

"Know thy Self" is entirely different to "know thyself"; a stage few ever reach....
