We live in an age where everything is measured by utility—what will I get out of it? Life has turned into a profit-and-loss statement. Relationships, careers, even personal growth are too often reduced to transactions. So, when someone speaks of enlightenment, the higher self, or awakened consciousness, the silent question immediately arises: “Why should I care?”
It’s a fair question. And it deserves a clear answer.
Most people today—educated, successful, articulate—are functioning at a certain level of frequency without even realizing it. We know how to make money, raise families, and plan luxury holidays. We know how to use the search engines and AI; quote thought leaders and win arguments. But do we know how awake we are inside?
Do we even know that it’s possible to live at a higher frequency—where life flows differently: more richly, more deeply, more meaningfully?
Transformation Beyond Information
The first step is understanding this: it’s not about accumulation; it’s about transformation. You can read ten books, collect profound quotes, and feel intellectually accomplished. Your ego may swell. You may even inspire others. But if that knowledge hasn’t touched your being — if it hasn’t shifted your frequency — it remains intellectual noise.
Be aware that whoever wrote the book was speaking from a certain state of being — a level of inner experience or heightened awareness. To truly grasp what they were pointing toward, you must rise to a similar frequency of consciousness. Only then can the meaning fully reveal itself.
The writer first had to translate an experience beyond words into the limits of language — to express the inexpressible. And then comes your part: your own awareness, conditioning, and biases filter what is received. You interpret it through what suits you, rather than what is.
That is why reading alone cannot awaken you. Real understanding does not come from collecting ideas, but from living the experience — from becoming the very state from which truth was spoken.
Reading about the moon is not the same as walking on it. Reading about love is not the same as rising in it. Reading about stillness is not the same as sitting in silence and dissolving into it.
To experience life at a higher state is to step beyond borrowed ideas —to move from thinking to being, from reacting to witnessing, from merely surviving to truly living.
The Practical Benefits of Going Beyond Mind
The only way to experience the full potential of life—including the power of the mind—is to go beyond the mind. It’s simple logic, even for the most rational thinkers.
The conditioned mind—full of dos and don’ts, borrowed wisdom, and rigid beliefs—is too restricted to operate at its highest capacity. It can only recall the past and presumably try forecast the future based again on the experience of the past. We often live under the illusion of knowing it all, but that’s the mind fooling itself.
When you begin to watch the movements of the body, the mind, and the energy, you awaken as the master of your own self.
And in that awakening, the benefits are not pursued — they simply unfold as a natural byproduct of your heightened awareness.
Let’s make it practical:
You gain clarity, not just knowledge.
You respond to life instead of reacting.
You are less driven by fear, ambition, or comparison—and more guided by insight, intuition, and inner joy.
You feel deeply connected—not just to others, but to life itself.
You are no longer enslaved by the ego. You still use it when needed, but it no longer uses you.
You live more authentically and courageously, because you’ve begun to uncover what’s truly within you.
In true self, ultimate Freedom
And what’s within you is immense — beyond anything words can describe any feeling that can be shared, or any emotion that can be contained.
Start today by just constantly watching your footsteps as you walk, your feet touching the ground.... rising up and the other one touching the ground. Just get into a habit of watching. It's just little practice, that can get you going.
