We live in a society that, despite all technological and scientific advancements, remains profoundly asleep in spiritual terms. Humanity is trapped in a state of psychological sleep. People go about their daily lives unaware of the true essence of being, enslaved by their emotions, desires, and unconscious thoughts. To transcend this condition, it is necessary to awaken consciousness and initiate an inner revolution.
What is the Awakening of Consciousness?
The awakening of consciousness is the process of freeing ourselves from the illusion we live in. Although we have the ability to reason and perceive the external world, most people operate in a state of automatism, without control over their actions and reactions. This state is likened to a dream: we are physically awake but mentally asleep, driven by mechanical impulses and uncontrolled emotions.
This “dream” is maintained by the “I’s,” or egos, which fragment our psyche into various conflicting personalities. We are governed by different impulses at every moment: anger, envy, desire, pride, etc. These psychological defects are responsible for the enslavement of consciousness. Awakening, therefore, requires the elimination of these psychic aggregates, leading to inner freedom and a true understanding of the world.
The Path to Awakening
The awakening of consciousness is a profound journey of self-knowledge. It involves Revolutionary Psychology, which includes three main steps:
- Self-observation: We need to observe ourselves constantly, in every moment of our lives, to identify the egos that are acting within us. Simply observing ourselves begins to distance us from these psychological defects, allowing for greater control over our actions.
- Comprehension: After observing a defect, it is necessary to understand it deeply. This requires reflection on how and why the ego manifests, its causes, and its consequences. Rational thought alone cannot destroy a defect; a deeper understanding involving consciousness is required. One of the practices to reach this state is meditation.
- Elimination: The final step is the elimination of the ego. Through meditation and a sincere plea for help from the Divine Mother, we can destroy the identified defects. This process is fundamental to the liberation of the soul and the true awakening of consciousness.
The Role of the Inner Revolution
Awakening consciousness is not a simple intellectual process; it is an inner revolution. This revolution means breaking completely with old patterns of behavior and thought. The common human being is conditioned by beliefs, dogmas, and habits that reinforce the ego and keep consciousness asleep.
To carry out the inner revolution, courage and determination are necessary, as this path often puts us in direct confrontation with our fears and weaknesses. As we disintegrate the defects that inhabit our mind, we gradually achieve a new way of being, based on the true essence of the Inner Self, no longer influenced by the different egos.
This revolution is a return to our natural state, where we are conscious beings responsible for our actions. Humanity is hypnotized by the illusion of the three-dimensional world and the pursuit of material pleasures, which prevents the perception of higher dimensions of reality. When we awaken, we can see the world as it truly is and understand our true purpose.
The Importance of Self-Observation
One of the central pillars for the awakening of consciousness is the practice of psychological self-observation. Self-knowledge can only be achieved when we become vigilant of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. The process of self-observation should not be confused with harsh self-judgment, but rather as a way of observing internal movements without identification or immediate reactions.
Every situation we encounter in daily life is an opportunity to identify the defects we carry and work on them. If we are willing to see our flaws and study them, we create the necessary conditions for inner transformation. The true revolution is internal, and without it, any attempt to change the external world will be in vain.
The Revolution and Final Liberation
Ultimately, the purpose of awakening consciousness is to achieve final liberation. Through the elimination of psychological defects and the integration of consciousness, human beings can experience true spiritual freedom. This liberation is not an abstract philosophical state but a direct experience of reality beyond the conditioned mind and ego.
True happiness and inner peace can only be achieved when we free ourselves from the cycle of pain and suffering created by our egos. When we reach this liberation, we can experience the Inner Being, the divine part of our nature that is beyond time, space, and duality.
Conclusion
In the end, the inner revolution is the only means of achieving true freedom and understanding the mysteries of life and death. This path requires discipline, self-awareness, and, above all, an unbreakable will to truly know ourselves.
