One Million Awake

For many people, the idea of Enlightement is like, "I can't possibly enlightened. Enlightenment takes millions of lifetimes." To which, I can only respond, "Starting when???" First of all, how do you know you are not at the END of those millions of lifetimes, eh??? Perhaps this is the one you've been waiting for. Look at all the people waking up. Certainly you've been around as long as them. But looking at it from some different viewpoints: How do you know it takes millions of lifetimes? How do you know there even is more than one lifetime? How many lifetimes have you had within THIS lifetime? Within this Moment? The point is that NOW is the only time to wake up...not in some anticipated future, which is contemplated in the NOW. There is only this moment. This moment IS the now, and it is the time to Wake Up!

This is the official logo for One Million Awake. There is nothing spectacularly involved in it. It's a happy world with the words One Million Awake.com. But like Awareness, it is simplicity itself. When you simply are Present in the Moment, in the Here and Now, there is no "I" or other, simply that Presence. Let this little smiley world represent our service to Awakening Humanity.

It's only just begun, a bare smattering in relation to the whole, yet I am already overwhelmed by the enthusiasm people are responding with. I'm going to try and make a conscious effort (so to speak) to make sure I keep blogging as so many ideas are coming through (both myself and others) and for each idea that is implemented, 10 more come pouring through: emails to send, bumper stickers to make, people to contact, and on and on. As almost overwhelming as it feels, it's amazing! We want to see this as a world wide meme. If you don't know about memes, they are sort of the mental equivalent of genes - self replicating ideas based on a human host. If you consider the power and ramifications of actually having at least 1,000,000 Awakened people in the world, it's quite beautiful. So if you have ideas, please feel free to send them to us, OR implement them yourselves. Everyone should be involved in this. Download our smiley earth logo from the website and start sending i...

As it is stated above, the purpose of this blog is about Awakening. It all started, in a way with Kyle MacDonald. If you don't know about him, I suggest you check out his website at http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ Kyle decided he wanted a house and wondered what how he could get it. He decided he would utilize the idea of the game "Bigger and Better" to trade one red paper clip up until he got a house, and he did it. This caused me to think. My teacher used to say, "Be Bold. If you want to hunt, try for rhinoceros. If you want to steal, go for the government reserve. If you fail, everyone will say, 'It couldn't be done,' and if you succeed, everyone will say, 'How Great!" Into my mind came the words, "One Million Awake" and I decided to start this website and blog. Please feel free to subscribe, etc. and to visit the website itself (if you didn't come from there) at www.onemillionawake.com. I have chosen this space to blog as ...
