Your Whole Life Is About Awakening
July 4, 2010“Everything that happens to you from moment to moment happens because it has the highest probability of waking you up. I know that this idea might sound crazy, but there’s no getting around it. Your entire life has one agenda: awakening.”
– Tom Stine
This makes more sense if we consider all of reality exists as a process of self-knowledge, of waking more deeply to itself. This is of course reflected in every aspect of itself, including each of us.

It makes sense to me. I wonder if all our self-created for the very purpose that they are the best opportunity to awaken.

Yes, I’d say everything we experience arises in that context of self-discovery, even if we don’t recognize it. As that reaches a certain point, then there is an awakening.
Although there is certainly other ways that arises. (laughs)
…it’s why I am convinced of the necessity to remind: we are not our experiences… they are meant to serve us, not the other way around. Embracing the concept that all we experience feeds our Awakening is a beautiful and extremely powerful concept, one I am learning to hold fast to and share when ever possible!
…thanks for this post!
Thanks for the feedback, Dthanja
Yes, it’s true. When we identify with out perception, we experience the world of duality and separation. When we step back from that a bit, we begin to see what is actually occurring and our relationship with life is transformed.
