The Lightning Strike Of Awakening

We can’t make spiritual awakening happen, because spiritual awakening is not something that an individual incarnation does. It is something that the whole does, that the universe does. It is something that simply occurs when it occurs – just like a lightning strike. But, just like with lightning, we may not be able to make the lightning strike exactly where and when we want it to, but we can stand outside with a 10 foot metal pole and put ourselves in the best position for this lightning to strike. Spiritual awakening is no different, and that is why the more attention you give to consciousness itself - to the pure experience of existence itself - the higher your chances are of being “struck” by the lightning of spiritual awakening.
