Awakening

Lions Den eyeWe have all felt it, when past and future disappear, all that exists is this moment, you no longer exist, everything you may define yourself with has gone, all you beliefs, problems, your entire life situation is no longer there only your life only this moment. You can feel a great stillness an inner calm, limitless and indefinable energy flowing through you, complete joy, complete serenity, complete love, a presence that cannot be described by words. There is no lack, no limits, no duality, you have become completely whatever it is your are doing, there is no you, you are simply just being. Time ceases; you are truly home, at one with everything yet defined by no-thing.

Then egoist mind comes back in, you start labeling, conceptualizing and trying to understand. Past and future returns, duality returns, all your pain (or illusion there of) return you are one again separate from everything else, defined by your beliefs past and future, by fear, you are mind once again.

Peace comes from within, do not seek it without' - Buddha

The awakening you had was maybe cause by something external you were doing, training, competing, meditating, making love, etc etc, the possibilities are endless. And it’s essentially this that may draw us to the things we do. But this awakening is not because of the activity, the activity only created a gap in thought, when mind went still and you were linked with the source. What you have in fact done is had a glimpse at your true nature, consciousness itself. Call it whatever you will, the label is only a signpost, Universe, Being, Spirit, Soul, Christ, God, Buddha, Tao, The Unmanifested. The thing to understand - not intellectually but realize through direct experience that this is you, this is your true nature, it is not a separate entity, it is you and it is everything else.
