The Second Awakening
Rupert Spira Session
January 14th, 2018
In attendance—Rick M. & Laurie S.
In today’s session, we listened to a section on Disc 3, The Second Awakening.
Rupert explained that, although Reality is One, three states of Being appear to manifest themselves in Consciousness. The first is the dream state. In the dream state, everything is projected from mind. That is to say, for example, when you travel to Hawaii in a dream, you only travel there in your mind.
You have to wake up and enter the waking state to realize that the hallucination you were having was only a dream. The waking state is based on the life of a subject, moving about a world of objects in space and time.
According to Rupert, you can have a second awakening. You can move into the experience of pure consciousness and finally know who you really are. That is to say, you can become aware of being aware. In that state, you see that the basis of Reality is Consciousness, not mind or matter. When you have that second awakening, the waking state is seen as very dream-like in nature. In the third state, a person experiences being in the Now, in the flow of life—moving freely in dimensionless, timeless Reality. At that point life becomes peaceful, clear, tranquil and joyous.
After listening to the tape we discussed these matters further and then had some delicious refreshments. It was a very worthwhile way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
