Increasing Awareness | Overlooked Reason the Hermit becomes Enlightened

See this form in the original post

Are you wondering about how you can Increase Awareness and The Real Overlooked Reason, why the Hermit becomes Enlightened!

Hello, Jason Cain here and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind blog and today I would like to share with you the concept of “Compounding awareness”.

The concept of Compounding awareness is the process of generating more awareness from your residual of consciousness and then reinvesting the savings. This Compounding of awareness is the most powerful force in the universe and if your awareness is left untouched and isn’t squandered or diluted, it grows increasingly faster. 

To work, this simple process only requires two things:

First is the practice of generating extra awareness through meditation which you can then reinvest,

Second is the mindful reinvestment of this awareness earned, this has a compounding effect on your awareness which will then grow your initial consciousness exponentially.

For the serious meditator it is the greatest strategy possible, and the No.1 argument for starting this practice as early as possible. Below I give examples of the normal practice of acquiring an awareness boost and an example of using compounding awareness. 

Normal Practice #1: Meditator Jill

Jill takes the time to make a daily investment of meditation every morning and evening for 30 minutes, Jill’s sense of joy and peace grows from this regular investment of daily meditation and Jill’s awareness grows from average to above average.

Jill continues to meditate regularly for a number of years, but still Jill’s awareness is just a little above average, for some reason even through Jill is a regular meditator she only manages to save a small percentage of extra awareness from her meditation practices.

And even through each meditation session gives Jill a boost to her awareness, this only translates to an exchange of time devoted to meditation equals extra awareness.

Jill’s only way of increasing awareness is to pay for the increase by the devotion of time, but this increase is only temporary and Jill has to pay for the extra boost each day by exchanging time in her meditation practice.

So even through Jill’s invested creates an increase in her joy and peace and gives Jill more balance in her life, Jill still has to work or sell time to achieve this boost.

 Compounding Practice #2: Meditator John

An investment of regular meditation every morning and evening for 30 minutes was made daily, and John’s sense of joy and peace grows from this regular investment of time. John’s awareness also grows from average to above average.

John then takes this extra awareness and instead of spending it on the daily routine of living or becoming involved in all the drama and emotion of life. John holds onto that extra awareness through the practice of mindful living, john instead of spending awareness daily, saves his awareness through the practice of mindful living and which then reinvests that awareness.

John continues to meditate regularly for a number of years, and his awareness begins to have a remarkable effect on his meditation practice, which grows even deeper and more wonderful, but not only does Johns meditation become more deeply satisfying. John begins to experience deeper insight and develops even more profound wisdom and understanding, so much so that people even start seeking John’s advice.

Life for John becomes one long journey that continues to grow deeper into joy and harmony. John finds contentment and bliss, and John even finds that it is not necessary for him to mediate regularly to feel that same heightened sense of joy. In fact, for John life is simply bliss.

While for some reason even through Jill is a regular meditator and through each meditation session Jill gets a boost to her awareness, this only translates into an exchange of time and labor, Jill must pay again and again each day with her valuable time to achieve peace of mind.

And this is because Jill spends the benefits of meditation by engaging in the turmoil that life throws at her; which then consumes Jill’s peace and serenity and this means that Jill is not reinvesting the extra boost of stillness that meditation gives to her awareness. The initial investment of time and labor used to mediate and create that stillness does not grown Jill’s awareness. (You could even say that without that initial boost which meditation gives Jill, she fails to stimulate the higher spiritual vibrations that will ultimately help awaken the soul and set Jill on a Journey towards enlightenment.

Of course spiritual growth can be much more than this simple example, but this basic concept of “Compounding awareness” will advance your spiritual journey more than anything else you put your time or effort into.

And remember be gentle and try not to cling to tight, since trying too hard only creates competition within your mind. In your mediation practice you cannot win and you cannot lose, every practice will bring you closer to harmony.

I’ve enjoyed sharing this concept with you, and I encourage you to explore and learn about yourself and to continue your journey, and if you have the time then let me know in the comments about your understanding of the spiritual path or how your journey has changed your life.
