- So you've awakened? Now the real work begins. Time to clear out all of those conditioned patterns.

The mind and the body wish to be in that state of bliss that was felt during the awakening. As it fades away, the mind starts searching and the body griefs the lost of it.
There is a lot of resistance here against cleaning. The mind talks everything away... clearing may happen or may not happen. Not willing to decide to do anything.
Thank you for the space here to see ourselves ❤
Thank you for your comment. The mind will always want to grasp the original awakening experience. The irony is that although what you are is always awake, it is the mind (by mind, I mean cognitive mind; sense of self; ego) that obscures awakeness by thinking that "'I' have gained something" or perhaps later on "'I' have lost it." I recommend a book by Adyashanti titled The End of Your World. In it, he discusses the post-awakening process and pitfalls. Also, ironically, awakening is not the difficult part; but rather clearing out of conditioned patterns is what is difficult and a lifelong process. ❤🙏
Fantastic video! Embodying is by far the hardest part. I can very much relate to the belief that "enlightenment" will take care of all my problems.
I certainly had to work on my post-enlightenment stress syndrome :D.
It is very encouraging to hear your experiences, thereby helping me feel more "normal" as I keep going through my own process.
Thank you for your comment. "Waking up" is easy (relatively speaking, pun intended). Clearing out of conditioned patterns: that's where attention and vigilance are needed.
