What is Awareness?

Awareness (noun) = a knowledge or perception of a situation or fact.

If you have ever thought or asked questions such as "Who am I?", "Why am I here?" or "For what purpose do I serve in this world?", then be glad. Do not dismiss these musings or thoughts as unimportant or unworthy of exploration.

You are actually on a good path towards finding your Zen and hopefully one day, Spiritual Enlightenment!

It's this willingness to seek answers to such questions, to observe (and then perceive) the fabric of life and the Universe ( situation) of which we are all a part of, that defines you as having some level of 'spiritual awareness'.
The type of awareness that can only bring about the greatest and most fulfilling experiences one could ever have in life.

Whether it be in your personal life or career, if you have never invested any time and effort into your spiritual consciousness (i.e. spiritual awareness) and the roles you wish to play in these areas, do not be surprised if life feels like it's not moving in the right direction!

In fact, you may even doubt which direction it is you wish to take. Simply because you're not informed, haven't considered the full picture of life, so you just take whatever turn on whichever road you come across. Not because you know where you're going, but because it is there and you haven't put any thought into whether that's the road that can lead you to your desired destination. It's no rocket science that if you don't move in the direction of your goals or what you want in life - you certainly won't be loving your life! At best you may enjoy a bit of coasting on the lull of 'alright', but who wants to live like that!

People who invest in learning and developing their spirituality are the ones that will have a clearer understanding about themselves and how they fit into the world, with all their bells and whistles, warts and all, puns or no puns (and knowing what these are all made up of, because they have thought about it!).

It is by far a more purposeful way of living that will empower you to live the life you always dreamed about. A life that will strike the happiest chord within you, giving you meaning.

You see, something magical happens to those that are spiritually aware. They tend to see things in full colour, beyond the shadows and the Universe moves in to help bring them all they truly need to be happy. A lot of that good stuff!

So be sacred, not scared.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he didn't know where he was going. (Hebrews 11:8)

This is a very personal verse for me this week. The job situation with hubby has come to a point where we've been figuratively on our faces before God asking for clear direction as to where He wants us to go. Examining our own hearts, trying to empty ourselves of our own agendas so we can be completely submissive to his direction. Wherever, Lord . . . just point us the way. Shut every other door tightly.

When you read the Abraham story, it seems that God essentially told Abraham to start walking and He would tell him when to stop. Wow. Oh, to have faith like that! Excuse me a moment while I get a mental and emotional picture of what that means and try to apply it to my heart today. Just start walking, hon . . .

The rest of this Abraham section (the first of three about Abraham in Hebrews 11) has been speaking to me for a few weeks now: By faith, he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise . . .

They lived in tents -- no permanent dwelling. Ready to get up and move at a moment's notice. Yes, he made his home there, but as a stranger in a foreign land. We've been preparing our hearts for a move from Sioux City for over ten months now. I can relate to this feeling. Our home is here, for now, but it's not a permanent dwelling. We are attached and yet unattached. It's kind of an odd feeling.

But it's how Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all lived. And why? For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. The city with foundations -- that would be heaven. The writer of Hebrews expounds on this more a few verses later, making some general comments about all of the faith heroes he's describing:

. . . and they admitted they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they were talking about the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country -- a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

My past several months of "living in tents" as a "stranger and foreigner" in my own land of Sioux City has given me insight to how believers should be living all the time here on earth. This is a temporary dwelling. A place we should enjoy and bless while we're here, but always with an eye toward the "city with foundations" that God is preparing for us. The better country.

Those times in my life when I feel a persistent dissatisfaction, a gaping hole, a never-ending longing for I don't know exactly what . . . I try to remember that this feeling shouldn't surprise me. I'm a stranger in this country. This is not my real home. My citizenship is elsewhere.

And thank God, there will be no political campaigns in the heavenly city with foundations. Hallelujah.
