Awareness is not a gift that some have and others not. Awareness is an inherent energy with which we are all born with. It needs to be awakened through the viewing of our life streams through the prisms of Truth and love.
Many walk on the path seeking - but unless one seeks the inner path, the guardian of which is our Soul, it matters little in our Soul growth. Knowledge and Wisdom combined with Inner Work/Self Reflection is what awakens the inner gift of Awareness.
Awareness is a knowing, a state of consciousness which opens with in us through examination of our motives behind every word, thought and action and then we are clearly able to see and experience our true nature - Love, Compassion, Caring and Sharing.
Then let us pause for a moment and simply ask - What is my motivation in doing this? Or anything at all?
Be daring to self-examine in minute details all your motives. Is there lurking cobwebs in your inner closet of self-worth issues, which is covered up in delusions and grandiose, which may temporarily give us a false sense of Self Worth and is this truly who we are? Examining the motives of our lives can set us Free on many levels,
