What does it mean to be awake?
The words “Know Thyself” echo like whispers through history as the key to awakening. Self knowledge is the first step to awakening. As knowledge and understanding of self grows, one begins to embrace the qualities and attributes we possess as humans. As well one begins to understand the potential and power of the five senses and how they can be used to discern the world of which we dwell. As awareness grows with information accumulated by means of the senses, one begins to navigate through subjective and objective reality by using free will and logical reasoning skills that develop over time and experience. The awakened live according to morality and understand the Laws that govern all life. They understand their actions have effect outwardly and oppose violence by use of force. All life has value and purpose, and balance is key, both internally within the self and outwardly throughout creation.
To be awaken is to maintain balance and harmony within while working to bring harmony and balance to the environment we share with all life.
