PREFACE

O VER THE PAST fifteen years, we have been on a remarkable and wondrous journey that has taken us, step by step, along the path of spiritual awakening. This journey has been an exciting and inspiring one toward the understanding of Oneness. Throughout this journey, there have been events, experiences, and circumstances, some of which were quite extraordinary, that have manifested. Each event guided us to understand who we are, Spirit encompassing a physical body. These experiences were only sometimes what some would call easy, comfortable, or short-lived. Many of them were challenging and often required leaps of great trust. Yet, they taught us that overcoming each challenge would guide us to our next step along the path.

So far, this journey has been filled with discoveries, many of which were life-transforming. At first, we had to be vigilant and patient to understand what was happening within us. Then, we had to realize that the awakening process was occurring in our lives. There were obstacles and hurdles to overcome, and we would take many steps to travel this journey to Oneness. Throughout our travels, we have experienced the true meaning of difficult and wondrous. Within this context came knowledge and understanding that has expanded our consciousness and awareness of who we are. Looking back, we can say that every step was worth the journey, no matter how difficult.

It has been said that hindsight is 20/20. When viewed through the eyes of Spirit, this understanding unites every choice made into an unbroken string of inseparable experiences. These experiences brought us to where we are now, one step at a time. Not one can be removed or altered, for all have served the purpose for which they manifested. We see how each one connects to the one that preceded it. From this, we learned that it is our choices alone, in each moment, that create every experience. Our journey will always unfold according to our choices; nothing occurs by chance or coincidence. All our experiences have been, and are, the events we create. We now understand that each one was purposeful and by our design. Each experience manifested for our highest purpose and good, not just for us alone but for everyone and everything along this path. We now see our connection to all life; everything we think, say, and do affects everyone.

This awareness did not materialize overnight or even in a short time. It only happened with considerable energy, intent, consistency, and inspired action. From this, we learned that spiritual growth requires dedication, commitment, and sacrifice. As a result, we often stepped out of our comfort zones but trusted the inspiration, guidance, energy, and Love that we received from the Divine to assist us with every step we took. As a result of this trust, we learned very quickly, without any doubt, that we are never alone and are not intended to take this journey alone. The awakening to this understanding is more comforting and reassuring than words could ever express.

The process of awakening occurs gradually, in sequential steps. These steps become apparent as your knowledge and awareness continue to grow. Finally, you begin to remember who you are and what you have always known. Within this progression are many experiences and teachings designed to create a continuous, forward movement on your path.

This book addresses many stumbling blocks currently experienced by many along their path and how to overcome them. It also contains all the steps that will enable you to express who you are - eternal Spirit encompassing a physical body. It will lead you to a level of knowledge and ability so that you may live your life fully expressing Oneness. These first necessary steps, as well as the steps along the final leg of your journey, are established for you to reach a level of consciousness we shall call Spirit Consciousness.

Spirit Consciousness is the next step in the evolution of Spirit as it encompasses the physical form and remembers its true nature. It is the door to yet untapped potential. Everyone who remembers who they genuinely are will create a new collective consciousness and transform the consciousness of humanity, bringing about the earth’s renewal. In the chapter An Appointed Time, we shall discuss this next appointed level in our evolutionary advancement in depth. We will use personal experiences to illustrate and explain the material presented during our discussions. Advanced concepts will be addressed with actual life events to aid the reader in fully understanding what occurred within each experience and its teaching. Every attempt is made to present the material to be more easily understood. All we ask is for you to open yourself and temporarily set aside what you may currently believe so that you may approach this material without bias or a preconceived mindset. Allow yourself to be receptive to the content to see if it resonates. This resonance may further your understanding of who you believe you are, why you think you are here, and what you believe you came here to do.

With this as our objective, let us begin discussing the many challenges you may experience throughout your journey.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

W ITH HEARTFELT GRATITUDE, we acknowledge the continuous inspiration and irreplaceable guidance we received and are receiving along this journey. Inspiration brought about the level of knowledge and awareness that enabled the writing of this book and all its subjects. We also gratefully acknowledge the love and support we have received from others who travel with us along this path.

We are together as One

Upon a journey of becoming,

To remember, through our experiences,

all that we are and have forever been.

As we awaken to behold

The splendor of our true nature,

Our image in the mirror

Becomes a clear reflection of our true essence,

As the progression of Spirit

This leads us all back to where we began.

INTRODUCTION

W HETHER YOU ARE spiritually awake or asleep, only one path leads to the One Spirit. The ONE Spirit alone is the creator of all Energy expressed in and throughout all that has been or will ever be. The One Spirit is the only Source for all Creation, visible or invisible. The totality of this expression is Oneness.

The knowledge contained within this book allows one to walk on this path with awareness and understanding. This foundation will enable you to begin your journey as an awakened Spirit encompassing a physical body. Step by step, you will progress in your level of understanding, using all that we previously learned. Spirit consciousness affords you the awareness to choose the experiences and circumstances in your walk that will aid you in creating a continuous forward movement. These experiences will lead you to your chosen destination and are conscious and deliberate, coming from an unlimited number of possible choices. You will learn to make choices towards the ones that are not only for your highest purpose and good but also for the highest purpose and good of all life. Your choices do not just affect you alone; they affect all others who have chosen to enter this journey - to experience being Spirit within and surrounding a physical vehicle.

As eternal creative spiritual beings, everything we think, say, and do is creative energy. This energy goes out from us to affect everyone and everything, not just ourselves. As a result, you shall genuinely begin to understand your connection to all life within the Web of Life. You also will learn to appreciate your ability to affect what you cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear.

Your awareness and consciousness progression occurs gradually over time and experiences. You see how to create and draw these experiences to yourselves for awakening spiritually and understanding how to live in Oneness.

Spirit Consciousness is the total and complete unification of body, mind, and Spirit. It is the final deflation and absorption of ego and the definitive and complete joining of the physical body and Spirit. It is a state of being - in which everything you think, say, and do only comes from the expression of Spirit. The ways, thoughts, and creations of ego no longer exist at this stage of your spiritual growth.

This stage is the next level for ultimately experiencing who you truly are. By nature, this can, and most likely will, be a lifetime progression of experiences and growth. It is a stage in your spiritual evolution that will completely transform your consciousness. It will raise the level of vibration of your physical body to levels far above what you currently experience. This stage may take considerable time and dedication to accomplish.

You may ask yourself, if this is such a long-range occurrence, why discuss it? We discuss it because this is where the appointed time of spiritual Awakening takes us. It is the place where we shall all eventually evolve. It includes all events and circumstances unfolding as this Awakening moves toward its outcome. It is where the One Spirit, within the eternal creative flow, guides and inspires those who have awakened. It is an evolutionary time that encompasses all life in all its forms.

As you understand what is occurring Now, you begin seeing the purpose for events happening to you and around you and their direction and outcome. Within the following pages, you will discover an explanation of preparing for upcoming changes.

We wrote All Along Your Journey in two sequential parts. The first part, "The Progression of Spirit," addresses your path of spiritual growth up to the stage where you are prepared to enter Spirit Consciousness. Next, you learn to live in the Now, to understand and overcome ego, and ultimately unify body and mind as the Spirit you are. To accomplish this, we shall discuss several stumbling blocks you may experience along your path, which old ways and energies may cause. Old ways remain in your experience because of an absence of consistency and inability to let go, practice, and understand patience. We shall also expand upon the topics of unconditional Love, infinite potential, the Blueprint, and the art of allowing.

There are other topics we will address that will guide you in acquiring the knowledge which will allow you to fulfill the purpose you have chosen for your physical lifetime. Discussing these topics and others will help you reach a spiritual awareness and consciousness about yourself and your journey.

We will closely examine what we refer to as stepping stones. These are various stages, plateaus, or steps along your journey. Within these steps, you will learn essential lessons and acquire the knowledge necessary for further advancement. When met with challenges on these stepping stones, what you have learned will guide you over and around them. You alone will determine how far you desire to travel along the path of awakening. Your path leads to Oneness. Understanding stepping stones is necessary if you are to advance. Therefore, we will devote much time and attention to them.

The chapters We Are Never Alone and We Have All Been Here Before provide material you may find difficult to believe or accept. The degree of difficulty dramatically depends upon your current understanding. We ask that you temporarily set aside current beliefs and open yourself up to the possibility of a new experience. This further information can transform your life in many affirming and uplifting ways, should you choose. Within these discussions, you may find the answers to questions you have carried with you for most of your life.

The chapter Unconditional Love discusses the attributes and nature of the Masculine and Feminine essences within the One Spirit. This chapter will address the expansion of the One Spirit and all that it means. It will give you the insight to understand and expand your awareness of who you truly are.

This information will conclude our discussions concerning The Progression of Spirit and set the stage for the second part of this book, subtitled The Culmination of Spirit. These are the final steps of your journey to Oneness and Spirit Consciousness.

In the second part of All Along Your Journey, we will delve into topics that significantly expand your awareness of the spiritual realm as it encompasses and penetrates the physical realm.

The physical realm exists and coexists with the spiritual realm. The vibrational frequency of infinite energy lowers to create physical forms, which present as a multitude of expressions. There is only One Energy, but it can be reduced or raised to create experiences according to your choices. The physical realm as we know it was brought into form by lowering the vibration, and as such, the material world simultaneously exists within the nonphysical. There is no separation along this continuum, for physical and non-physical are inseparable parts of this One Energy. We explore this relationship and its meaning for your physical and spiritual evolution in the chapters It’s A Very Big Picture and Infinite Potential.

These inspired Teachings bring you to a level of understanding where you will continuously move within a state of spiritual evolution. We previously introduced this state of evolution as Spirit Consciousness. Spirit Consciousness further expands your ability to access and harness energy at a vibrational level not previously experienced. This raised vibrational level allows you to create experiences, and access potential creative abilities, that are genuinely new territory for you. The possibilities at this level develop a more expansive understanding of the spiritual realm and unlimited access to inspired guidance. Dreams, visions, and revelations often hallmark these raised vibration and consciousness states.

Also, access to past life remembrances may occur due to your newly learned ability to consciously live and create within the construct of no time. Such a state of being enables you to consciously connect with life on a much higher level than you are currently experiencing now.

We will also visit the topic of manifestation from the viewpoint of Spirit Consciousness. We will discuss manifestation regarding your potential as you evolve into this state. There are several levels of manifestation - thought/action, thought/action/manifestation, thought/manifestation, feeling/form, and feeling/occurrence. These steps unfold sequentially and are a spiritual and physical evolutional progression. These allow you to manifest what you desire to experience during your incarnation.

Access to these levels of manifestation is contained and found within the eternal creative flow of energy. Within this flow, you can only access manifestation by reaching the stage in your evolution known as Spirit Consciousness. The topic of manifestation is massive and will be one for us to discuss and explore. Manifestation may take time and considerable evolution to achieve. That is why it is essential to comprehensively understand the eternal creative flow and how to access and stay within it. Staying within the flow relates to all you think, say, and do. Your ultimate objective is to create and manifest solely within this energy flow. Therefore, you must obtain a working knowledge of its attributes, nature, and the stepping stones that lead to this advanced state of being.

In the chapter Let Us Handle This, we explore your full reunion with the One Spirit and how you are equal to and inseparable from this energy. This step is representative of a new chapter in your walk that involves the state of being One with the One Spirit. That complete union is achieved and experienced through Spirit Consciousness, reflected in and through all your created experiences. This state of being is accurately stated as being in the constant presence, flow, unification, alignment, and movement of the One Spirit. At that degree of unification, you would exist in a state of total remembrance of who you truly are. You will live that understanding and awareness to the maximum extent possible while remaining physical. It is the full spiritualization of all that is physical. The line between Spirit and the physical no longer exists. You are in a complete state of being and living in Oneness. Of course, this state is the destination, outcome, and goal of our journey together throughout this book.

Let us begin your path of discovery and awakening to Oneness as we travel together towards understanding your journey as Spirit.

The Voice grows more clear and intense,

To awaken us to the remembrance

A Voice speaks softly, deeply within -

A voice that transcends time, space, and physical form

Here to herald an appointed time that has come

For all of us together to evolve as ONE

To express its eternal message

It speaks first to the heart.

At first, a whisper

Of all we have eternally known.

A SUMMARY REVIEW

T O THOSE NEW to the given inspirations found in this book, and to bring focus to those who have read any of the previous books, we will now review the subjects addressed in them. The teachings sent help us understand and live in Oneness and how to create and experience a life filled with joy, happiness, and peace. Through the Teachings, we remember and expand our understanding of who we are, why we are here, and what we are here to do.

This review aims to establish a foundation of the Teachings and previously written inspirations. The contents of this current book were constructed and expanded on by these understandings. We will guide and lead you, step by step, through all the knowledge required to arrive at the final destination of your journey – your spiritual awakening and full reunion with the One Spirit.

The process of revealing and unfolding the inspirations and Teachings in a sequence purposefully expands your knowledge and awareness of what it means to be an eternal Spirit having a physical experience. Through each unfolding sequence, you fully remember who you are, why you are here, and what you have come here to do. You will understand your equality and absolute and eternal connection with the One Spirit and to all life. Life, as you know it, is expressed and contained within the universal web of life - held within the energy of the One. You will remember you are created in the image and likeness of the One Spirit and that you are, have been, and always will be, infinite and eternal.

The following pages contain information presented in both books Living Your Life in Joy, and Now That You Are Awake. We have chosen to share this information with those who may not have read these books to lay a foundation for a better understanding of the subjects discussed in this book, All Along Your Journey. Enjoy.

We begin this review with the book "Living Your Life in Joy" and will complete the foundational material with the information in "Now That You Are Awake." The commentary will be general because of the repetition and expansion of the subject matter in this book. Where there are only brief references to particular subjects in "All Along Your Journey," this review shall include a more detailed summary. Now we return to the beginning of your journey, and step by step, travel to where you currently are along your path of awakening – where your knowledge and ability to live in Oneness resides.

Your journey began by observing the contemporary world in which you live. In Living Your Life in Joy, you were introduced to the concept of separation - humanity existing in an independent state - that created a world divided - one hallmarked by disharmony, chaos, disunity, strife, and division. Separation exists within your intended unification of body, mind, and Spirit and your intended connection with all humanity, all life, and the ONE. Living in separation means being unaware of your eternal and inseparable connection to the Divine, all life created, visible or invisible. You are also unaware of your responsibility to preserve and protect the earth you live on and all life you share with this planet.

Separation can only exist while you are spiritually asleep. The ego-influenced physical mind believes that all are individuals separate from all others and the Divine. While in separation, you only perceive, identify, and understand yourselves as – individuals. Because you have forgotten your eternal connection with the Divine, you view yourselves and all life only through your physical senses. Through these senses, you identify and define your experiences from a biological viewpoint without understanding your abilities as eternal, creative spiritual beings. Because you chose to come into your physical body in forgetfulness of all you knew in the spiritual realm, you initially have no awareness of the truth that you are Spirit having a human experience on the earth. While you are spiritually asleep, your identity is defined through identifiers given by others and formed by your responses to life events. They are experienced and interpreted through the concept of self.

The preceding has been a basic introduction to separation and its creations; we now expand your understanding by discussing its effect on the collective consciousness. Separation hallmarks the belief of the current collective. Our discussion now examines how this belief reflects everything thought, said, and done. The collective consciousness is created and sustained through all your thoughts, words, actions, and those created by humanity.

The collective consciousness is created by those in separation and can influence your thoughts, words, and actions. It is a living consciousness, an entity that is intelligent, active, and able to influence everything you create and experience, especially while you remain within its ability to influence your life in every conceivable way. As long as you stay spiritually asleep, the collective will affect and shape everything you believe to be true about your world, nature, abilities, and potential as a human being.

In one of the chapters of Living Your Life in Joy, titled The Seven Walls of Humanity, we take a closer look at the collective consciousness by discussing each of its walls. These walls are Separation, Blindness, Failure, Limit, Necessity, Anger/Hatred, and Suspicion/Doubt. We will only mention these walls in passing in this book. Instead, let us review them to familiarize ourselves with how they influence and contribute to the strength of the collective consciousness geographically and globally.

The first wall, The Wall of Separation, is the most difficult of all the seven walls to dismantle. This wall can only be overcome through the process known as spiritual awakening. Because this wall is supported and fed by each of the remaining walls, it presents a formidable task to overcome and dismantle. This requires a complete shift in your consciousness from being influenced by the physical energy of ego - to being Spirit-directed. It involves awakening to who you are; Spirit, infinite and eternal, encompassing a physical body. When you are under any influence of ego, you will continue, to some degree, to be in a state of separation.

You overcome the Wall of Separation by knowing you are connected to all life and eternally to the Divine. You are never alone. This is the state of being we call Oneness. For many, this can be a lifetime pursuit, but your desire to overcome ego can be accomplished with time, intent, and putting forth the energy to complete your journey to Oneness. As you remember your true nature, you fulfill this journey one step at a time. You, Spirit, are unconditional Love; you express this in all you think, say, and do.

Next, the second wall, The Wall of Blindness, is simply the state of being unaware of your true nature and potential. You are unaware you can accomplish anything you set your intent and energy toward. While you are in a state of separation, you are blind to your abilities and the magnitude of what it means to be an eternal Spirit on a physical journey.

The influence of the Wall of Blindness changes your perceptions of the world and is filled with misconceptions regarding the true intent of the human experience and everything this experience can create. As long as you are blind to the true purpose of your chosen incarnation, you will miss much of what this life can afford you. You will only see and experience a world in which you continuously restrict and prevent yourself from creating and experiencing all you desire. This wall blinds you to your true potential.

The third wall is the Wall of Failure, simply the belief that you can fail. The universal response occurs when you fail to acquire what you believe you want or need. While under the influence of this wall, you remain blind to the purpose for which you took on physical form. What you do not see is the purpose behind all your experiences; each enables you to advance in your knowledge and awareness of who you are and what you came here to do. This wall prevents you from understanding that no judgment is involved in whatever you have chosen to experience; therefore, you cannot fail.

On the contrary, each experience takes you one step closer to accomplishing what you are here to remember through your experiences. Every lesson you learn, and every step you take, is a progression along your journey that will lead you to your purpose for this chosen lifetime. There can be no failure involved in your advancement, only success.

The fourth wall, The Wall of Limit, is the belief that no matter what you seek to accomplish during your physical lifetime, there is a limit to what you can achieve. You believe that all things are governed by limitations, and this belief prevents you from understanding that as Spirit, you are unlimited. This wall is truly one of self-perception. If you believe you are limited, then you will only create a physical experience that is just as limited. A self-imposed restriction upon your eternal nature limits your creative abilities to such a degree that you only experience a world as limited as your self-limited perception will allow.

You overcome the Wall of Limit by awakening to the knowledge that because of who you are, Spirit, you are not limited in everything you think, say, and do. Instead, you will understand that abundance in all things is the will of the Divine for you to experience. Once you truly grasp the magnitude of your true nature, you may begin to experience all that the Divine intended for you when you choose to take on and encompass a physical form.

The fifth wall, The Wall of Necessity, is simply the belief that certain things are necessary to be happy and fulfilled. There is no understanding that, in each moment, or Now, all that is required to move you forward along your chosen path is present and available.

When the focus is upon only what you believe you need or want, then everything you have at that moment is not seen. Since you are blind to what is already present, you can miss each presented opportunity for your advancement. Stepping out of the moment or Now, where your focus and creative abilities are, you dwell upon things that are only perceived necessities. As a result, you miss the experiences and opportunities to create the life you desire.

This need can often stop you from creating the next step of your journey. In every moment, be conscious of the gifts life gives you. There is nothing you genuinely need, only the focus and intent to create your desires. The belief that we need things to make us happy or content will only interfere with your journey or take you in a different direction than the one you intend to travel.

This Wall of Necessity is overcome by understanding that, for each step of your journey, everything required to continue forward will come into your experience when it is pertinent to your choices and decisions. When you shift your focus to only being in the moment, or Now, you will not miss each presented opportunity that is placed before you. Continue to take each sequential step as it is presented, knowing that everything required shall be available. Stay in the Now and not project your consciousness into some future scenario that may not unfold as you believe or want it to. In this way, your creative experiences shall develop for your highest purpose and good.

The sixth wall, The Wall of Anger/Hatred, is the darkest of the seven walls. It is difficult to overcome, as it contains the most intense and lowest frequency energy of all the walls. It is a wall that creates the belief that expressing anger will get you what you want in life. Hatred is the most intense aspect of this wall and often manifests in acts of violence and chaos. Hatred is the most extreme expression created by the wall.

The Wall of Anger/Hatred is birthed, nurtured, and manifested within each person who supports it with their energy. It is expressed externally, often resulting in destructive behaviors. The action of striking out at someone or something has as its source the energies and emotions we already feel inside. It is often difficult for one firmly held by this wall to understand that anger/hatred comes from within, not from without, and that you can only feel anger for another when you already have that anger within you.

This wall manifests in many ways, including self-hatred, which appears as activities or habits detrimental to your health and well-being. These destructive habits will lower energy frequency from the body, causing its decline and can sometimes cause the physical body’s death. A person under the influence of this wall is completely blind as to their true nature. It is the most intense form of separation one can experience, as the energy of all seven walls is activated as one. They work in unison to lower a person’s energy to the lowest possible level and yet remain in physical form. As noted above, at an extreme level, reduced energy can and does shorten or terminate the life of one wholly encompassed by this wall.

Overcoming the Wall of Anger/Hatred for those deeply entrenched within it may sometimes require a life-transforming traumatic experience, epiphany, or circumstance. In cases where the person is not as rooted within this wall, the experience may not be as severe or traumatic. Either way, the Wall of Anger/Hatred often requires a considerable awakening experience to overcome its pervasive influence. Its frequency can hold you by its intense and highly dense energy.

The Wall of Anger/Hatred is not a wall that we suggest someone spiritually awakening should try to dismantle alone, not until they have advanced to the point where they can shield themselves from any influence of the wall. Instead, dismantling this wall is best accomplished by seeking answers for your anger/hatred from within and doing this with guidance from a safe source, allowing you to search your emotions.

The Wall of Suspicion/Doubt is the seventh and final wall; it holds vast sway over those who have yet to awaken. It is a wall that always leads to separation and goes hand in hand with the Wall of Anger/Hatred. This wall is paramount to discrimination, social labeling, and stereotypical behavior. It is a wall that binds together; reactionary groups, hate groups, supremacy groups, and all forms of social, political, and religious opposition or persecution. The energies of the Wall of Suspicion/Doubt often combine with the Wall of Anger/Hatred to generate the most extreme behaviors we will witness within the collective consciousness of our day.

This wall is the one that, throughout history, has rejected gifted teachers and the message they brought. Teachers, chosen by the Divine, were sent to convey a message of truth and hope to those who were spiritually asleep but were rejected by the people they had come to teach.

The person held by the Wall of Suspicion/Doubt will also exhibit the energies in the Wall of Blindness and The Wall of Limit. This wall of Suspicion/Doubt constricts to the extent that one is blind to who they are and limited to what the Wall allows them to believe. This is often a very narrow or restricted view of what they believe to be their truth. You cannot converse with someone deeply entrenched within this wall as they can only see one point of view: the one they ascribe to and will vehemently defend. Therefore, you are best served to avoid interacting with anyone caught in these walls and proceed along your journey.

In its milder forms, the Wall of Suspicion/Doubt is overcome by letting go of the doubts you hold within you. Once you overcome these doubts, you will lower the intensity of the wall, thus releasing its hold over you. You can achieve this by learning to trust yourself and your ability to discern the truth when you hear and feel it. This ability will come naturally to you as you begin to spiritually awaken. The more you learn to walk as the Spirit you are, the more you will learn to trust. Trust will overcome suspicion and doubt the farther you travel along the path of awakening.

The above is a brief review of The Seven Walls of Humanity. Living Your Life in Joy covers this subject in greater depth, and you may want to spend time looking at that. You will not fully awaken or be able to unify body, mind, and Spirit until all vestiges of these walls have been addressed and overcome.

Let’s move on to the subject of awakening, the next step in your journey, and we will briefly discuss the seven steps in this process.

The first step in the awakening process addresses the level of consciousness that most people currently experience. We call this first level Life on Automatic Pilot. In this stage, there is no knowledge or awareness that you are spiritually asleep, and you do not even know that spiritual awakening is something you can choose to experience. Your life is entirely governed by ego; most experiences are created and interpreted through the ego-influenced mind. You know little, if anything, of Spirit, as your worldview is only what ego has created, and you are influenced in all that you think, say, and do by the collective consciousness. You are unaware of who you are, why you are here, and what you have come here to do.

For the most part, your actions are automatic; they are the pre-programmed patterns of behavior and thought and are often highly routinized. Many of your responses are triggered without conscious thought; they are simply reactions to pre-existing replies you have created which govern your interactions with others. The center of your worldview is the self. That image consists of all the identifiers held by ego that shape and influence your life in every possible way. You are influenced at this point by most, if not all, of the seven walls of humanity. There is no acknowledgment or understanding that you are living in separation. Without understanding separation, there is no unity between your body, mind, and Spirit.

As you awaken, you understand that you were separated – within yourself and with the One Spirit. The early stages of awareness in this first level are often noticeable by feelings of disharmony, emptiness, disconnection, or other internal discomforts or unrest. This inner dis-ease prompts you to survey your life and discover why you feel so out of sync or uneasy about what your life has become. These feelings of restlessness or imbalance creep into your consciousness, causing this internal discomfort. Occasionally, you may experience moodiness or irritability and have difficulty figuring out why you feel this way.
