16. Reflecting on being AWAKE!

Hello! Welcome to this sacred space … to this quiet moment …
our reflective, meditative time together!
I’m Bill Bauman … and I’m thrilled
to be spending these precious few moments with you.
Let’s reflect now on … being AWAKE!
As you may know, the title of my latest book is Awake!
This autobiographical book is about my waking up—
waking up to the bigger identities that complement my human one,
waking up to the gifts and wonders of bigger dimensional fields,
gifts that were then installed in me simply because I woke up!
Awakening is a mighty phenomenon.
Chances are, you’ve awakened many times over in your human journey—
for example, when you made a giant leap from babyhood to toddler-hood,
from childhood to adolescence and then into adulthood.
I’m guessing that your more striking awakening, though, occurred
when you took a bold leap into spirituality—
at that moment or series of moments when you opened your heart to love,
when you embraced your soul’s higher wisdom,
when you found a true connection with infinite light
and perhaps when you “let go and let God!”
Let’s be awake today … right here, right now!
Let’s sit together in your pure light … in your love-filled heart …
in your soul’s truth … in your rich field of quantum possibilities …
and in the emptiest space within you—your very own quantum void!
Let’s embrace all of them right now,
these invisible spaces of bigger, truer, wiser and grander consciousness
that live so graciously, even though mysteriously, within you!
Let’s say hello to them all, greet and embrace them all!
Let’s realize clearly that we are them, all of them, right now!
Let’s view ourselves as AWAKE—awake to their wonder
and to the fact that they, all of them, are realities and identities
that belong to us and are an intimate part of us.
Let’s realize that we are them!
That we are pure love … we are infinite light … we are radiant soul …
We are quantum everything … and we are quantum nothing!
Now, let’s pause for a moment and contemplate this phenomenon.
Let’s reflect on this huge truth, this mighty reality that lives in us—
this truth that you and I are always living in these states of awareness,
states that exist way beyond our typical human states.
Let’s perhaps utter a quiet “Yes!” to this miraculous truth …
maybe claim this truth anew in our hearts, minds and human core.
Better yet, let’s perhaps invite our human awareness to the “Awake Party”
even more than it is already ‘there’!
Let’s invite our emotional feelings to the Awake Party …
and our mind’s well-intended beliefs and values …
then our body’s organs, cells and molecules …
and, finally, our sub-conscious and un-conscious minds!
I invite you: Picture all these aspects of your human self—
and include perhaps any others that I’ve not just mentioned—
joining you in your love-propelled heart,
uniting with you in your wisdom-centered soul,
melting with you into your infinite light,
embracing with you your limitless quantum possibilities
and dissolving with you into your waiting quantum nothing-ness!
Awake! You are awake!
And it doesn’t even matter whether your mind is convinced of this truth.
Nor does it matter whether any one aspect of your human identity is convinced!
The truth is, and always will be, you are awake …
and will be awakening more and more fully for the rest of your life—
because awakening is your destiny … it’s your calling … it’s your truth!
To be awake and to continue awakening is such a magnificent way
to do this earth-bound human trek!
To be awake and to continue awakening is such a gift-filled way
to experience multiple realities at the same time!
To be awake and to continue awakening is such a miraculous way
to realize, even if step-by-step, who you really are—
a heart-centered, soul-infused, light-filled spirit,
grounded in the quantum source and filled with quantum possibilities,
all the while appearing to live a human life in a convincing human world
on a tangible-looking earth planet!
To be awake and to continue awakening is such a beautiful way
to keep realizing, more deeply and fully with each awakening,
that you are an ‘awake’ presence pretending to be asleep,
that you are an ‘awake’ person pretending to be limited,
that you are an ‘awake’ reality pretending to be struggling, and
that you are an ‘awake’ giant pretending to be a small human!
Yes, you are awake! And becoming more awake in each moment!
You are waking up to the multi-faceted self that you have always been,
to the giant spirit and inter-dimensional presence
that has lived quasi-hidden within the tender folds of your human form—
until recently, perhaps until now!
You are awakening to the bigger truth of your human-ness—
the truth that the so-called ‘human you’ is but one small slice
of a giant, bigger-dimensional, multiple-tiered, amazing pie,
a pie that includes the extra ingredients of infinite spirit,
pure being, unending light, exquisite love, expansive energy,
inter-dimensional intelligences, worlds beyond space and time,
an indescribable quantum realm that lies beyond creation itself and,
as a very delicious whipped-cream atop this delicious pie:
the very quantum void out of which you—
all the just mentioned versions of you—emerged,
came to life and then pretended to forget them all,
except for the small, more noticeable, human slice of pie
that has captured your attention since your human birth.
Thank you for waking back up to the truth!
Thank you for saying yes to your step-by-step awakening!
Thank you for being on this earth with other special beings
who are also awakening!
And, thank you for waking up with such genuine heart,
such unwavering soul and such dedicated commitment!
It is a pleasure and privilege for me to be awakening
side-by-side with you, in partnership with you
and in a loving bond with you!
Thank you!
