Agreed.
While I make a clear distinction between SR/awakening and 'being a more conscious human being,' in the absence of SR, actual awakening, the latter is indeed of importance.
From the time my kids were very young, I guided them towards looking 'at' the content and movements of their minds. In mid-tantrum, my young daughter told me that when she looked at her angry thoughts, she couldn't feel mad anymore. That was pretty cool to see in one so young....however, as they got older, I saw that her youth was actually working in favor of that kind of willingness/sincerity to 'look at' mind's content....to even acknowledge that there was a problem.
In moments of emotional upset, I'd regularly tell them to become the witness to their thoughts. Now as teens, they seem to be generally 'aware' of what their minds are doing, but, I wouldn't say either are SR/awake. But, being more consciously aware of mind's content does imo, make for a different kind of (better) experience for all involved.
I think this is on par with what Jed McKenna referenced in a few of his books as "human adulthood." Not SR, but still, important...the next best thing I'd say....perhaps even 'auspicious' in terms of realizing Self.

I like this.  A good explanation of the experience of 'being more consciously aware.' |

A desire for the appearing world to be something different is only a disturbance if there's an absence of fundamental acceptance that right now, what is, IS what it is and that there is perfection in that. Seeing that perfection DOES NOT equal all collapse of an intent towards change/betterment, it just means that emotional 'need' for that change/betterment will be absent.

That's because you see 'realization' as an acquisition of knowledge.... of an arrival at 'what' vs. the seeing through of such. If realization means seeing through that which obscures Being, then saying there is 'no end to what can be realized,' is attributing 'whatness' to Being/consciousness/awarenss, which does make sense considering you insist that that which can only be pointed to, the 'true' nature of all, is 'alive, vibrant, conscious, experiencing, perceiving.'

It just requires a conscious parent, which may be the problem. |

Again, it's all very subtle, which is probly why obliterating minds and demolishing egos leaves a bad taste. It tells me the subtleties are being missed. Nothing is actually left behind. |
