Dawn Fernandez, Author at Awakening Together

Rev. Jay McCormick talked about how once the candle of awareness is lit, the flame will consume the candle. Our mind is the candle in the analogy, and the witness is the flame. The flame is lit by the spark provided by the guru, or teacher – whether outer or inner – both are in reality one. Before the spark, there is no witness to perceive the difference. After the spark lights the flame, there is awareness of being conscious. The very desire to be ready for this means the guru has come and the flame has been lit. Look not for the person to awaken, for it will remain in unrest and resistant to the very end. It is the witness that works on the person, on the totality of its illusions – past, present, and future. Be in the bliss of the witness, allowing the mind to be consumed and be in the Joy of God, spirit, light, Guru.

Thoughts of Awakening # 138

June 10, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Today is a day of recognizing
the silent, still Source within.

Focus on one word today
and let all else be as it is.

The one word is this:

Focus on this word today,
and let it speak volumes.

Thoughts of Awakening # 137

June 9, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Ideas come from nothingness.

Ideas based upon ideas
are not ideas of Source,
which is the soil of stillness;
they are ideas of illusion,
born out of the artificiality
of other ideas.

All ideas are artificial,
but ideas born of Source
speak of Source
and point to Source.

Ideas born of other ideas
only further echo
the ever-extending-ideas
of artificiality.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 136

June 8, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The head speaks of leading.
The heart does not.

Follow in order to lead.

Today is a day of quietness,
a day of getting in touch with the heart.
Although its Voice is quiet,
it is also loud;
but the voice of the head must be quieted
in order to hear the heart.

A mere shift in listening,
which is a shift in intention and desire,
allows the mind to quiet for a moment,
so the loudness of the quiet heart
can be heard.

~From our Holy Spirit
