The Awakening Impulse and What Blocks it!

What if the impulse to 'Awaken' to a greater and greater understanding of ourselves and our experience is inherent in each of us? That this 'Awakening Impulse' is an inescapable drive that underlies all creative human endeavour - from science and art to music and philosophy.

That this drive is so necessary that when we block it with resistance we experience 'suffering' physically, emotionally or psychologically. Could this account for the extraordinary numbers of people taking anti depressants today?

What if the commonly established 'truths' we are taught at school, by religion, by the media and even by science create and reinforce a major block to our pursuit of this impulse?

That the over emphasis on 'reason' and 'common sense', hand in hand with ridicule of anything out of the ordinary cause us to fear exploration beyond what we are taught is 'normal'.

 Human beings have a proven psychological tendency towards conformity. We dont want to stand out, we dont want to be ridiculed, we dont want to be too different. Afterall, it is easier to join in the ridicule than be the recipient of it.

But what if we MUST risk all of these things in order to break through the shell of the ordinary and Awaken to the limitless magic which lies beyond?

To do so we must be prepared to re-examine everything we have been taught. A good place to start? Explore for yourself anything that has received mainstream ridicule.

Who really built the pyramids?

Our education system creates a limited understanding of even the greatest aspects of our history. School history books still equate pyramids with Egypt alone and illustrate them being built by slaves pulling hand quarried blocks to build them. Few people who have not carried out their own research realise that there are pyramids right across the globe all built to precision and size that even archeologists have to admit is NOT POSSIBLE to replicate today! What happens when we look at the bigger picture of the similarities between these supposedly separate civilisations? The fundamental idea that underlies our culture today....that the evolution of consciousness on this planet is linear and that we are the most advanced civilisation that has ever inhabited earth begins to fall apart.
