Awakening

“Every human being is here on this Earth for a purpose.  The ultimate goal is to find the happiness that comes true when one finds one’s true self, that is love.  But do not see this as a turning point after which everything changes.  From an earthly perspective awakening is a very long process.  This process also includes the state of sleeping, as everything starts from that.  It forms a unit.  The different phases of sleep and awakening all represent unity and cannot be so sharply separated from each other.”  Dewdrops of Wisdom:  Practical Guidance from Mother Mary, Chapter 38.

I heartily recommend this new work published by Take Heart Publications, received by Marietta Beregi.  Each chapter is given over to a new idea that will help us along the path toward Awakening or Christ-consciousness.  As we would expect from Mary, she is gentle counsel throughout, always understanding of our human frailties, but always ready to help just by a single call to her.  She, like Jesus, is divine with the gifts of divinity as a twined soul to Jesus.  She assures us that when we call to her, she will hear.

This particular quotation explains the difference between walking the whole pathway and remaining in unity with God.  We are all in unity with God, though we may each experience this truth differently.  And our pathway toward Awakening is part sleep, part Awakening–maybe for a very long time.  This Mary makes evident in this passage.

We may have read accounts of apparently sudden Awakening that is arresting in the extreme.  And we may have assumed that these lightning bolts from Heaven are what we experience, or else we are somehow lacking, not in unity with God, not in Awakening either.  But Mary here is more practical.  She asserts, as we have been suggesting, that the pathway is punctuated by moments of awareness or Awakening, and then a falling back into unconsciousness, or sleep.

We need not get impatient.  We will all get back Home, and elsewhere Jesus and Mary have both assured us that the more of us make the transition, the easier it is for the rest.

Walk gently along the path.  Relinquish attack.  Be kind.  We are all composed of only Love, though we don’t often realize this.  God lives through us, and as the maternal God in Mary, She will see us through.
