Beloveds, the true state of awareness that you are all awakening to is that which knows of no separation within Itself. The masters of old called this state a mystery, for it is indeed a mystery to the mind that limits its awareness of God. Divine Awareness Itself is truly the only real awareness there is, and nothing is mysterious to this Divine Mind. You are all capable of transcending the "unknown." The unknown is separation-consciousness, lack-consciousness, for in God nothing is lacking, and nothing exists outside of God. "I AM" means "God IS." It is the IS-ness of Divine Mind that you are all reaching towards in your prayers and meditations.
God is the only Known, the True Constant. It is only from a perception of lack that your True Reality seems to be "mysterious" or "unknown." You must learn to be happy with the fact that the human mind cannot understand God, and with this attitude you open the gates to Heaven, the True State. The happiness that most of you experience is like cotton candy; sweet, but short-lived. Pretty in color, yet often seems to quickly melt away when you taste it. Dear ones, know that the joy of God is permanent. It doesn't melt or fade away. God doesn't tease your senses in the way that the ego does, which gives you but a very limited taste or sense of what true happiness is.
You cannot be partially free. Freedom is whole, and this wholeness (holiness) is what you really are. However, your personal awareness is partial, as it must be; yet, again, only in realizing this are you able to deeply understand your Self, the Universal Being. Thus, true freedom, happiness, awareness, being and understanding are really the One, Same Reality.
For quite some time, many of you have felt that "something big is about to happen," when all along it is this very attitude that has kept your awareness misaligned with the present moment and the Presence of God! For humans in general, "something big" is always "about to happen." This itself is old news. It is the same old story of looking "outside" of oneself for validation of one's existence and sense of purpose. Do not allow your awareness to be led astray by astrology, predictions and energy forecasts, for such things are ultimately meant to help you awaken to the true state of awareness of NOW. Your human reality is equipped with a time-delay feature, and thus the "big" events that you sense are never actually about what you call "the future," but are actually already old news to your Higher Self. As souls, you routinely set up events "in advance," and the human "free will" that you have allows you to play out these events in your "physical" reality according to your personal beliefs. Therefore, ironically, the more you awaken from the dream-state of human reality, the more fully human you "become," in a more balanced, harmonious, God-aligned way. You have to be AWAKE in order to exercise your True Will. Otherwise, your sense of "freedom" and "free will" is an illusion, a delusion of ego.
Practically-speaking, your only purpose is Self-realization, and this realization is an expression of joy. Pain and suffering are not, in themselves, evidence of true realization, but are rather what may be termed "unrealization," meaning ignoring the Divine Self; that is, if you persist in perpetuating pain and suffering. You can, of course, learn to perceive such experiences in a new light, with an increasing attitude of appreciation for life, and thus forgive yourself for the "errors" you have made, which in effect manifests more enjoyable results. Understand that EVERYONE is realizing the same God-Self, no matter their personal state or level of Self-appreciation. Indeed, "wherever you go, there you are." Wherever you venture in consciousness, there you are manifesting, creating, from that choice of perception; and wherever you are in terms of self-awareness, there you "go" in your personal experience. Being light-hearted, thus you are moving lightly, you see. Rest in an awareness of your Being. :)
The Divine Self is here to remind your mind of your true power. Your "bigness," your majesty, is never in the past nor the future, nor is it ever in a false sense of "now" that involves your attention heavily focused on details, such as what "he said" or "she said." That is not practicing the power of NOW, but rather practicing "un-now-ing," which is "un-know-ing," and because there really is no "un-" in reality, this attests to a delusional state of consciousness that perceives a lack of love where no real lack can possibly exist. When you are aware of NOW--the Eternal Now--you are also "in the know," for know and now are one and the same.
An Exercise of Self-awareness For Realizing and "Integrating" the Eternal Now
As you sit where you are, simply recall a state of awareness in which you are more aligned with your Inner Being.
You do not need to "create" this state of Being, for It already exists here and now as the Eternal Presence of God.
Simply take a few deep breaths and rest in a simpler, more refined state of awareness, being aware of the Eternal Life-energy that flows within your body.
Be very aware of your emotions, your feelings, your subtle inner reactions.
You may close your eyes for awhile and simply ALLOW and FEEL your Inner Being.
Your present feeling-state is a personal expression of your Inner Being, and however you feel now is just fine. Love yourself deeply no matter how your personal self feels.
Become aware of your "subconscious mind" and affirm, "I AM allowing this integration of my Self."
Gently surrender any thoughts and feelings of resistance/tension, which is a liberating sense of letting-go. Notice your subtle, inner reactions to your idea of "letting go," however you perceive it to be.
Understand that you are simply releasing resistance to your Higher Self, surrendering to What-You-Really-Are.
"I AM allowing this integration of my Self." The True Self doesn't need integrating, Itself, but the human self needs to FEEL more integrated, balanced and whole. Abide in an attitude of Self-appreciation. :)
Namaste.
